I've been surprised by how performant you can get with CSS transitions and a will-change property. But good grief is it difficult.

On one hand I understand why a transition on `left` isn't hardware accelerated but a `translate3d` is, but on the other it seems crazy that we expect people to think and know this kind of stuff when they just want to do something very simple.
I was wondering when someone would mention diabetes. I feel like this policy will add a few more diabetics to the population. Now if they wanted to be really revolutionary they could ban sweets/sugar from their reimbursement policies instead..
Within a fixed distance of a given type of tile, the possibilities are not unlimited. Stamp with occasional overlap, and you could get the job done with only a few different stamps.
Maybe you should see if taking a few weeks off from work is possible.

I won't advise you about depression since I don't qualify to do so,but I do know changing your environment can have a significant psychological impact. It could make things better or worse.

When a program doesn't work right you need someone who understands how programs work, to debug them,analyze the root cause and implement a fix. Doesn't have to be a therapist,just find someone who qualifies and let them debug you.

Interesting post on hn you might find useful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17523475
Great question. I've found sometimes in hindsight that when I was unhappy I changed a thing that was easy to change, rather than the thing most responsible for my unhappiness.
Isn't this basically a web server for Linux written in C, except with absolutely no standard library optimizations?

Yes, it's assembly, but it's basically a thin script over a set of string library functions which are themselves just naive versions of what's already in libc. Most of this is just strcpy/strcat/strchr/strstr; the only reason it's not one giant stack overflow is that it doesn't actually implement most of HTTP (for instance: nothing reads Content-length, and everything works off a static buffer that is sized to be as large as the maximum request it will read). What's the point of writing assembly if you're going to repeatedly scan to the end of strings as you try to build them?

I'm not taking away anything from the project as an exercise. It's neat! But like: it's not something you'd ever want to use, or a productive path to go down to make a good webserver.
how typical. HN's moderation system is broken.
To add to the above awesome list.

* Do some martial arts its a good confidence booster. It doesn't have to be MMA, even aikido can be good. And you get to socialize(with a different mindset crowd) at the same time.

* And yes meds work both ways. It can take the edge off as much as the lows. So you will not get as "excited" as much as you used to be before. It puts you on an even plateau.
I find it interesting they added zcash but not monero
This is a poor attempt at blogspam.

Article complains about hosting being challenging and cites raw compute providers. Plenty of companies (Heroku, App Engine, Elastic Beanstalk, for example) offer easy, templatized hosting with effortless autoscaling, availability, auditing, monitoring, logging, everything you could possibly need.

If you're trying to compete with these providers at least be upfront about it, instead of purposely misrepresenting the state of the market.
I have an LG G5. I'm very happy with it. At one year, I replaced the battery, and only because I could.

If you are in the USA, what mobile carrier/network do you have? I use AT&T, and the network has been good enough. I tried T-mobile here in San Francisco for a week, and had too many "can you hear me now?" moments, so I went back to AT&T.
It says in the article that "Individuals requiring “medical or religious” allowances are being referred to the company’s policy team to discuss options."
Hostels are generally dormitories where you share minimal bunk-bed rooms with strangers. I've never seen a hostel with its own kitchen, let alone its own bedroom.
Google Express currently has no membership fee. The minimums are different per store, around $25. What keeps Amazon my default is with almost every Express order I have some item cancelled by to store. (And the excessive taping and packaging of each item.)

I prefer shopping for Walmart in Express, because Walmart.com includes third parties with ridiculous prices and quantities, and also in-store only.

My most consistent use of Express is for Costco quantities of organic canned beans and bags of organic rice.
Our current scientific understanding in no way leads to such a conclusion.

However, even considering the hypothetical that plants are sentient, eating plants actually causes the least harm seeing as livestock are not very efficient converters of plants to meat.
I don't mind weework not serving meat and I eat meat. I find it a bit weird and a flag they tend to be extremists, but on itself I am fine eating veg on company events.

I eat vegetarian 1-3 times a week and observe cost. I eat as much so that I don't feel hungry. If I am hungry I eat. Vegetarian days are more expensive.

Mostly because veg lunch itself is more expensive (or tiny) and don't last longer then 3.5 hours. Then I have to eat again, fruit and vegies are not enought (need nuts or dairy and a lot) or else my performance go a bit down.
If the "monetary incentive" is, in other words, to provide something for free to every employee then I don't see any inherent problem. What I do think is an actual problem is making an employee pay for any potential extra expenses during a business trip.

The burden seems to be flipped here. You can't release a medical product until you have reproducible and verifiable results proving your product is safe and effective. When it comes to the environment you can release something until it's proven that it's not safe and effective. They're increasing the burden under the nomenclature of science, when in reality it's a cost/benefit between a company's profits and the quality of life of everyone.

I don't mean to sound anti-corprate, but environmental regulations only exist because companies externalize costs onto society and this increases the burden for balancing exposing that cost.
It was a best selling phone in India last year. People are using it, just not people in your social circle.
This is absolutely incorrect.
MPW - Macintosh [Classic] Programmer's Workshop - had a combined text editor/shell. That inspired Eddie (http://www.el34.com) for BeOS which was later ported to OS X.
That site literally has a loading popup and constantly changing fonts and UI. Whatever you're doing, its not working.
Imgur is a major example.
It's taken them almost 2 years to come up with these indictments. But their indictments of... foreign intelligence agents. Folks that Russia isn't going to extradite, I think we can assume. Same country Snowden has asylum in.

So aside from keeping the Russiaphobic conspiracy theory in the headlines at a handful of old media conglomerates, isn't this another deadend?
This is some of the best written assembly I've seen. I can actually follow what's going on.
...and here my age shows.

I remember a time when I used a physical landline phone as my only phone. I didn't care if I missed a call, because the people that I wanted to talk to either would see me at school the next day or would show up at my house if it was important. Texting was nonexistent.

Or, to put it another way - eh, life goes on if you can't do a thing.
David Friedman is Milton Friedman's son. He teaches law but has never taken a formal law class. He also likes to study the economic systems of MMORPGs. His son Patri came up with the idea of Seasteading. Interesting character.
You're not wrong. I returned the two sub-$100 phones for a full refund. I had rooted the $240 phone, which broke it's ability to (easily) get system updates. I sold it on eBay for maybe half what I paid for it. So my downside wasn't as bad as it could have been. I decided I'd be content pay the price for learning how to shop for a phone I wanted. I'm also saving on every $400-not-$900 I buy in the future.
Meat is too expensive!

Ramen it will be. And it will teach them startup spirit!
- Anything with >500 upvotes that isn't general news, the more technical/esoteric, the better.

- Highly-voted threads with mundane headlines -- i.e. either the content is good enough to not need a catchy headline, or its headline has been changed to be less clickbaity -- which might mean the mods thought it was worth saving rather than flagging into oblivion.

It kind of gets to the anxiety about handing over control though. Towns do not get to decide whether they'll have a compressor station so a number have been built over community objections. I'm not really a local-government fetishist but I would be worried about how responsive a more centralized system would be to resident complaints.
The worse part, is sometimes I react to eggs/dairy (that are fed soy)... And, frankly not a huge fan of fish, which I could deal with. But there's really no way for me to get sufficient protein from vegetarian sources without getting too many carbs, and I'm not even sure there are complete vegetarian proteins without legumes.
> WeWork isn't forcing employees to be vegetarian (it's not like a hiring requirement)

They're making a portion of wages/compensation contingent on eating vegetarian. If someone doesn't want to eat vegetarian when out on business, they have to pay for it themselves, where as a meal costing the exact same but lacking meat would be. I'd understand if it were a company based on vegetarian/vegan products, much like I'd understand a church choosing not to buy health care reimbursing birth control, but this doesn't appear to be that.

That said, I'm less concerned about meat at company events - the company can choose to cater whatever it wants - in much the same way I'd be fine with a friend hosting a party that didn't serve meat, but would consider it a pretty obnoxious faux pas to offer to buy dinner for me, but then ditch the check because I ordered a dish with chicken in it. Sure, I might stay friends with them, but it's a pretty good indicator of what kind of person they are.

> most companies have restrictions and rules surrounding their expensing

These tend to be pretty banal and don't really take a moral stance on whatever the employee's buying - "don't spend more than $x", "don't eat more than x times per day", "fly economy", etc. This would be more akin to "You cannot reimburse food containing Kale", "you cannot reimburse food bought at Olive Garden", "You must fly with Alaska on business trips", and so on. Maybe technically legal, but super obnoxious and arbitrary.

> Should we force WeWork leadership, despite their rights to hold moral positions, to pay for something they don't want to pay for?

Yes, I don't want my employer withholding compensation based on their own morals. See: companies refusing to pay for insurance covering birth control. Also consider hypotheticals where the otherwise secular employer doesn't pay for meals from non-halal/kosher restaurants, or which only stocks raw water in the company fridges, or which only allow employees to expense stays at hotels if they attend a sermon during work hours. Some of those might be illegal, some not (I'm honestly not sure on employment law for most of those) but all are just super obnoxious and disrespectful to their employees.

My employer has enough control over my life already. They definitely shouldn't also punish me financially for having different opinions than them.

To put a point on it: I don't think this particular case should necessarily rise to the level of "illegal", but I do consider it rude to the employees for taking away autonomy and implicitly disrespecting choices the employee makes. It's also overall pretty narcissistic of them to assume they both have the right opinions, and those opinions are so right that they should inflict them on their employees.

At the very least, I'm glad they're advertising this - now I know where not to work.
If you really need just calls, dumbphones are still a thing, and I see plenty for sale here in provincial China (/me waves from Xining). The article's point is that cheap smartphones aren't working well for their intended users because the vast majority of apps aren't designed for their limitations.
They knew full well about other abuse that was done to Jews, opposition and others too. Nazi were pretty bad openly, beating Jews in streets, beating people who shopped in Jewish stores, taking away their possessions, restricting their rights. All that long before they invented death camps.
sounds like they are pushing Steve Jobs apple diet, worked out great treating his cancer

once again thing which would be illegal in Europe, employer can't decide what kind of food they will reimburse me
Good. What a shitty thing to do.
For stuff being sold domestic you go through the FBI, for stuff being imported you go through CBP and the USITC. For intellectual property it's OIPR. (I clear international freight through Customs for a living)
Also this post implies if you name and shame someone outside the Air BnB platform you get permabanned.
> Weapons in space are very expensive

No, they just took a normal weapon and mounted it.

> dangerous. And they can be easily destroyed

Literally all mounted weapons can be described like this.

> Currently there are no serious weapons that can be useful in space.

Absolutely incorrect. The US has deployed laser-based weapons since the early 2000s. Used for missile defense mostly. As you can imagine, they perform well in the vacuum of space.
I work in mobile performance and have built out an automated testing workflow for our CI system to try and prevent big breaking changes to these types of phones.

The issue with testing these phones is the device introduces lots of variance due to the low hardware standards. We typically test for relative changes in key metrics and want to move to testing different types of phones for usability. This is generally hard because the noise makes the test inconclusive.
I don't think that's quite right. Such groups wouldn't be able to afford detached homes, which in many cases was the point (Atlanta, on an infamous example, also is deliberately designed to make it impossible for buses to get to done neighborhoods).
They may have decided that deposits of zcash should be sent in the clear, not anonymously. I believe monero is always anonymous, so maybe they didn't want to deal with that?
I'm not saying the odds are high. I'm just saying it is in fact possible.
I agree with you. Performant animations with JavaScript are generally painful. CSS helps, but can be limited. It can also be a bit fiddly, especially when you want to chain animations together. Perhaps the web animations API will solve this as it matures.
Large-Scale in what sense? A web service runs many instances isn't really instantly indicating its complexity.
It's really not a hard problem to solve.

Amazon simply benifits from it so they have zero reason to stop.
No problem!

My bigger point was that the literature on any given topic is chock full of discussions like this. Is friendship directional? Is it binary, or does it make more sense to consider weights on these edges (casual acquaintance/best friend)? Can an outside observer infer friendship, or do you need to rely on self-reports? If so, how consistent are they? And so on.

The more patient researchers are happy to walk you through these sorts of considerations, especially when you're introducing them to a new tool or something. However, if you catch someone who's busy—or grumpy—you might get blown off with "That won't work. Haven't you read the literature?" Personally, I think this happens too often, but you can sorta see how people might get sick of regurgitating the same arguments over and over.

This is not to say that "read it and come back" can't be used as a moat, or that ideas "from the literature" shouldn't be revisited and questioned, but I think insisting that people do a bit of reading is not usually meant in bad faith.
>Also, I am absolutely in favor of treating animals as humanely as possible... though I won't go so far as to not eat them.

So you're not in favor of treating animals as humanly as possible...

Your other post also applies to infants and the mentally disabled, can I eat them too?
Shorting is like - renting a $30,000 car from a rental company, and then selling it on the open market, because you expect that the price for that car will drop by more than $14,600 next year.

During the year, you have to pay $40/day, so you pay the rental company $14,600 to rent the car for the year. At the end of the year, you buy an identical car and return it to the rental company. This is possible because cars are fungible in this example.

If the car's market price goes down to $10,000, then $30,000 profit less $24,600 costs gives $5600 in revenue for the short.

If the car's market price goes down only to $20,000, then $30,000 profit less $34,600 costs gives $4600 in loss for the short.

-----

Naked shorting sounds like gaslighting - putting lots of ads in the paper that advertise this car for $5000, hoping to lower the price...and answering the phone that it's definitely available, even though someone already put a deposit down on it.
Interesting that Discord has managed to beat them as the Slack for gaming.
Agreed - their primary motive is to induce conversations about page speed performance within dev teams. Same reason they used the red "slow" tag in serps back in 2015. If G wants to really, really induce change and AMP adoption remains low, they'll throw their own resources at serving faster versions of other people's pages.
I’m a non-technical founder, so I click mostly on:

Accessibility-related articles (my field)

Education/edtech articles (my field)

Most Show HNs that I’m in the target demographic for

Political articles that have lots of upvotes or comments (though I won’t always have the patience for diving into the comments)

Science videos or novelties that appear not to require background knowledge
Looking at the code I’d be surprised if this is anywhere near as fast as a simple equivalent written in C++ (which wouldn’t be as pessimistic with the register saving, in an opt build) or even compared to bozohttpd.
Indeed, I don't see the relationship between the PyTorch and Julia implementations.
Actually, even here in your extended example, the JSON is the easiest to read. For durable files that will be read much more than written, saving a few newlines or keystrokes is super irrelevant, but JSON gives such explicit understanding of the data structures and nesting, which IMO is really confusing and hard to understand in Toml.

I can agree Toml is sometimes better than YAML, but I cannot agree it is better than JSON. For me JSON is so simple, so easy to read, it has the nice feature of preventing comments and multi-line strings to keep things extremely simple and to enforce that documentation about the values in the file has to be located outside the file, as it absolutely should (documentation should be at the site that uses the config/param file, not inside it).

Plus, I find JSON indentation to be a real joy to assist with reading and seeing the nested structure. That indentation is optional in Toml, but I think pretty much always the use of that indentation ought to be enforced as a convention for people using Toml. Lacking the indentation is really not good for config / parameter files.
Heh because it's people buying on Alibaba then having it shipped straight to Amazon for FBA. I see and file the Customs paperwork on the shipments daily at work.
Hmm, I know the initial load is a bit slow, but once that's done, it should be fairly performant. The slow load is caused by our in-browser PDF rendering library. We are due to make it a "lazy load" in the upcoming release, so things should be significantly faster.
Not for PHP at least, maybe others, the last query arg will win.
I used illegal streams this world cup. They seemed to have sub millisecond latency i.e got the goals in near real time. Maybe, BBC & iTV should ask what the pirates are using.
Amazon needs to sell a lot of counterfeit goods or their model fails. They must both collect sales tax and pay shipping costs so they are not cheaper by default.

It's interesting how they reinvented the Walmart model of selling low quality knock offs of 'name brand' items. The difference is Walmart gets company's to sell lower quality goods through them where Amazon get's third parties to fill their sales channels with counterfeit goods.
They had a good chunk of the toilet paper market covered too, their catalogs. Seriously. My grandfather would regularly tell me about having to wipe his butt with pages from the Sears catalog when he was a kid on the farm.
Oh please. Most of those apps worked 5 years ago on phones that matched reviewed tech
Come on. I'll ignore, for now, your attempt at insults.

These Russian spies in the US were not US IC agents.
I rarely click on anything not on the front page from a domain I don’t recognize. Even with all the noscript and ad blockers in the world there are too many baddies out there to justify the risk.

As far as the front page goes I lean toward titles that are about (in no particular order):

Infosec

Kernel / OS

News about major tech corps

I upvote stories that I want to see a discussion about or stories that I want to have a discussion about.
I don't know about the states but Instagram is a major promotional tool for cafes and restaurants in Japan. People take photos of their drinks and dishes and share them on Instagram, tagging the cafe and a lot related tags. Meta-accounts with lots of followers then repost those and create buzz for the cafes. Then on the weekends the cafes get swarmed by people who found out about them through Instagram, repeating the cycle.

If you're in a major metro area in Japan and want to find the on-trend coffee joints, check out Instagram.
When I was in high school, I read Postman's "Teaching as a Subversive Activity". The thing I remember most about the book is it asking the question "What is important?" and suggesting that such a question might actually belong in the classroom. I think this article meshes with this - Shall we examine our own objectives, or simply carry on enthusiastically with the tools provided by new technology, to unexamined ends.

Bitcoin Cash replacement for Kickstarter
WeWork is just saying they won’t pay expenses on meat. They’re not banning anyone from eating meat.
I can't understate how disappointed I am that NewEgg is offering 3rd party sellers access now...
Hash rate increases are great. I wish they'd do a massive jump that takes miner profitability out of reach even if it were 100k/coin.

The amount of power used on bitcoin miners isn't good for the world, unless it funds alternative energy infrastructure that eventually gets repurposed for other reasons, but I doubt that is the case.
And company meetings and events?
I think you misunderstand the nature of argument. All arguments rest on a set of premises, and those premises themselves rest on premises, recursively so until we reach axioms which we simply accept to be true without further justification - like that the external world exists in some sense. Feel free to doubt that, by all means. Proof is not accessible to us - not a point the existentialists made (as you seem to believe), but rather something they took as self-evident and were responding to.

Analytic philosophy basically contends that if we assume axioms hold (correspond to the world in some sense) and we construct arguments from those premises which conform to logical rules, then the conclusions of those arguments are also true of the world in some sense. This is, of course, doubtable in various ways - but you pretty much have to abandon reason itself as the alternative.
