Project Fi from Google has been a lifesaver for me while traveling. I get to use the same number everywhere I go and don't have to do the new SIM dance in every country I visit. It can also be very handy sometimes to have internet access minutes after hitting the tarmac.

They've also expanded it to support more phones recently. I think having a Fi phone, even if it's not your primary device, makes a lot of sense for nomads.
They were ridiculously early in the process and even if he'd stayed PM as long as he wanted I doubt it'd have been Cameron who eventually made that decision. But it'd have been damaging for a British PM to say they'd veto them even if they did everything required to join, so he was really stuck dodging the question when asked if he would.
How to architect the perfect Data Warehouse
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1118.txt is one such historical record.

Implementing something like DNS, however, requires jumping between multiple documents and understanding what's deprecated and extended by each.
Don't forget about the power used by the ballast and the heat generated there..
Books are obviously fine too! I was just trying to say the phone is handy here due to the inability to socialize, not that there aren't other things that you could do.
I think you're right -- "Worms frozen" looks like "Wo…en" when you read the two words quickly. Your brian tedns to flil in the mdidle of wodrs baesd on the ousitde lteters.
that reminded me of how I decided to play Zelda BoTW.

Zelda has a 'Pro' mode where it hides all UI but the health. I was fully decided on using it through the whole game and I think it is the best way to play the game.

The absence of minimap is the biggest change. When you have your minimap is like when you drive with gps. You only wait til the map says you to turn, and after some turns staring at the minimap you get to your destination missing all that was in between. If you don't have the minimap you actually need to understand the map, know more or less where you are, where the landmarks are, and how to get through to your destination. In the end, the absence of minimap makes you learn better the world and the map, instead of relying on the digested info that the minimap gives you.
They have (had?) a local warehouse I think off 101 in the Bay Area, don't remember exactly where. You could walk in with a list of parts and they would grab them for you right there.
Explosive growth is great. Trying to keep a city looking as it did in the past and thus not having enough housing is the problem.
I don't travel much, but when I do, having the ability to not give a flip about knowing directions ahead of time is mentally quite relaxing.

Anyone else remember the days of printing out map quest directions only to find that they were out of date or really really wrong?

Everything else that comes with a smart phone is an added bonus.

EDIT: As far as notification anxiety. I mean, there's a simple way to deal with that without handicapping yourself: Turn off notifications except for the most crucial items.
Sure, but if you're using it only to fill a gap of time because it's there, it's worth evaluating whether you really need all the enrichment smartphones offer.
When to Use Logic Apps and Azure Functions (Serverless360.com)
Azure Logic Apps and Functions are a part of Serverless Platform. However, both of these services have unique requirements.

Its not money and efficiency, its the law! Money and efficiency goals would satisfy your criteria by lowering death and extracting more money from the payer.

Its precisely a law trying to change money and efficiency that produces this result!

Techies in the Bay area need to get more involved in local politics. They are what makes the area tick and without them nobody would give a shit about the area. This finally need to get reflected in local politics, not nimby and keeping crap like it was in the seventies. Let's build that damn city from Blade Runner!
Only. Because we are discussing tech workers.
On the other hand of that argument, a woman in the middle of labor can be given paperwork to sign extra expensive treatment on the spot. A practice I've been told happens a lot. And thats not a situation where you can make sound decisions.
I’ve felt a similar urge recently to turn off the noise. I was feeling especially burned out by the never-ending work pings over email and slack. Deleting a few apps I couldn’t moderate and disabling ALL app notifications except Messenger (which I use with close friends and family only) has provides a huge improvement in my mental health. There’s also an app called Moment I’ve been using to track my phone use and try to move toward more intentional ways of usint devices; I had pretty shocking numbers when I first started tracking. We should use the technology, not let the technology use us.
Politicians either don't give a shit about startups because they don't fill their campaign coffers or just plain don't understand the ecosystem. Techies need to take over Bay area politics.

They need to be absolutely sure that accepting contributing is not going to bite them,so you have to sign over all rights to the code to the project owner. They own the code from that point on, not you. This is standard behaviour.

Facebook differs from the standard in that they require your address, but I assume that is to make sure the CLA has the correct form
"If two companies offer offer same salary and similar in every other sense, but one doesn't offer free food, I will choose one that does."

... but in reality there are hardly any jobs that are so directly equal.

I used to always 'go for the money' when I was younger, but now ... all the other factors matter so much. Just the temperament of your direct reports matter so much. One fewer headache a week? What's that worth? A lot :)

Meals are a nice thing, but relatively small in the equation, at least compared to all the things related to the job ... and I find the food more a matter of convenience than anything. Personally, I'd be happy with free microwave burritos on those 'I'm busy' days, but that's just me.
That doesn't quite answer the question like victoriasun did–you can execute code not in the binary (e.g. JavaScript), but it doesn't say that you can download new code and execute that.
Its about 10PM here. I got back from work 3-4 hours ago and my phone just beeped and I could read the email with simply a flick of a finger and saw that it was a work related email though I was having dinner at that time. Now, though I am at home that's running on a thread at the background in my head since then.

This is perhaps just one use case but it's hardly surprising that people now want to go back to way it was before. I still use my smart phone because it makes my life a lot more convenient in many other ways but I definitely understand if someone would find it compelling enough to stop using a smart phone.

But, it does make me think, if I just want to connect to the internet, play music/podcasts, click a pic once a while etc. do I really need a device that's GPS enabled, bluetooth enabled, has NFC, accelorometers, face recognition, multicore processors etc. and costs a fortune ;)
Our team has been using Zulip since 2013, and I provided one of the testimonials on the site. I’m happy to answer any questions about our experience.

Our engineering team tried alternatives to Zulip (Slack, Mattermost, and others) during the period when Zulip’s future was unclear and it was receiving very little support. We preferred Zulip enough to switch back to it even though the mobile apps were basically non-functional (they’re now supported again).

The “killer features” for me were:

- Topic-based threading, which allows multiple conversations to occur simultaneously without having to creat a new stream (Zulip’s equivalent to channels) every time. This also makes it easy for me to contribute to a conversation hours (or days) later and have everyone else understand what I’m talking about.

- Relatedly, he ability to mute topics I don’t care about but see everything else within the stream.

- An intelligent global view that makes following multiple conversations at once easy

> I never thought of c being a real problem to space travel.

> We just need to figure out how to use propellant efficiently enough among a few other slightly difficult challenges

Both of these sentiments are pretty common misconceptions I've seen on HN. First, if c was infinite, the energy required to accelerate a constant amount would grow quadratically. This alone is a tough problem. Maybe we could "just" solve it. On the other hand, if c was finite, the energy required to accelerate would grow exponentially. This is more than a "slightly difficult" problem.
> I'd be interested to learn what it is so that we can make the whole thing better.

Ah good point. And rebar3 along with docs, and books are probably the first thing a newcomer will see when they explore Erlang the first time.
Agreed, either the universe knows the future or locality isn't enforced in a way we currently think is possible (ie one or more of our dimensions are just virtual dimensions not bound by the speed limit)

The second seems the most likely to me!
Still on Firefox 55 because I love the LiveClick RSS addon which didn't survive the switch to WebExtensions.

More and more I'm using AutoIt to provide extra features instead of a collection of addons, so I'm thinking doing the same for LiveClick.
It is not about the language is it... I don't think there is so big difference between php and python. Besides Slack is most probably using whole lot more tech than php.

It is about Zullip being open source.

Medicine is not engineering.

> Just because some tests have a higher number of false positives does not mean all tests have a higher number of false positives

No, but doing more tests leads to more false positives, which can lead to disastrous consequences. For example, someone could think they have aids through a false positive and lose their family, or choose to make an abortion, or start consuming preventive dangerous drugs, etc.

Not only that, you can bankrupt someone. It would surprise many how medicine is practiced differently based on available costs!

> For those tests that do have a higher number of false positives, the well educated (and paid) professionals are aware and should have measures in place

Yes, the measure is not to do them unless the symptoms and the DDX fit, along with other criteria.

I wonder what kind of doctor you've been to.
Social media apps are easy to uninstall, and that's what I've done. For the occasional Facebook event / messenger use case I need (some people insist on communicating through these), I use mbasic.facebook.com, which I think is the mobile web FB for the developing world. It's very fast, very barebones, but has all the features you really need.
This shows one strength of open source where you have the option to fork and maintain your own solution in the case the project heads the wrong way.

Unfortunately the whole world seems to be heading the wrong way with cloud based "everything as a service" where you control nothing. If the provider or cloud goes down you have nothing. Even if they just take your keys you have nothing. It's quick and easy to setup and convenient but you're basically a hostage.

Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet

By Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon

I read the Audiobook version of this book. It presents a narrative of the development of the very early stages of the internet. I enjoyed it. I think it would also have been fine in print or ebook formats. It is not too long and seems to present the events in a mostly linear fashion.

You'll get a great overview of the names, organizations, and machines that were used in this period.
Yeah they don't shadow ban. Sure, sometimes they will flat out suspend your account from 2009 (without warning) that's been doing the same job for years. @shareU :(
If you live in this time in history, you will be increasingly inconvenienced without a smart phone.

If you need to give it up to put it down, then your problem isn't smartphones, and you will fill it with something else in short order.

Moreover, you are going to be increasingly at odds with your surroundings: the world is becoming more smartphone-like, not less.
Some services are solutions to a problem people don’t realize they have. To tell them about the solution, you first have to convince them that they have the problem. And the problem, in this case, is something created by the UX choices made by the ecosystem of their competitors.

The first car with seat-belts had to explain in its advertising just how existing cars are dangerous, before it could explain how seatbelts fix that problem. People would start off thinking that existing cars are just fine; the ad needed first-and-foremost to make them believe that they weren’t; to foment a state of irritation or even disgust at “the way things are.”

——

Not to say it’s always a real problem, necessarily. You can convince people they have a problem whether or not they would have agreed they have a problem if they were just provided with some additional straight facts.

See: the invention of deodorant. First take something society doesn’t actually care about, even if it’s pointed out—the fact that you smell sour after a hard day’s labor—and make it into an etiquette faux pas for people to be able to notice that about you in the public sphere. Then you can sell the solution.

Admittedly, even this manipulative version of the technique can still have unintentional positive knock-on effects: public transit probably never would have been bothered with as a concept without you and the sardines around you on the train being deodorized first.
Every time I enter China, I have to go to a separate special terminal at customs because their regular systems don't have my Chinese character in their character set.

Even worse is if you try to apply for a bank account in China as a foreigner. Their systems are designed for 2-4 character logogram names, so if you are using a 15-30 character alpha numeric name, then good luck. My English name attached to my bank account has gone through a half dozen permutations over the years, with spaces, without spaces, in the wrong order, etc. I've given up trying to fix it and now am content with a name that is not quite my name, but is close enough to pass passport checks when I go to the bank.
Sure, I wouldn't argue - everything does live in the "cloud".

People to whom this demarcation of revenue matter, don't care about how topline results are published as long as there is data on the finer points as well (which MSFT does publish).

Also, I just looked at the latest earnings to confirm my last point and they include Office365 figures not in "Intelligent Cloud" but in "Productivity and Business Processes" so what are you all on about?

> SEGMENT INFORMATION

> Productivity and Business Processes

> Revenue increased $1.1 billion or 13%, including a favorable foreign currency impact of 3%.

> Office Commercial revenue increased $598 million or 10%, driven by Office 365 commercial revenue growth, mainly due to growth in subscribers and average revenue per user, offset in part by lower revenue from products licensed on-premises, reflecting a continued shift to Office 365 commercial.
My company has used Zulip, Slack, Mattermost and tried Ryver as well. Zulip has been by far our favorite. I listed some of my favorite features in the parent thread.
I once asked Gordon Moore what the software equivalent of Moore's law was, he responded without pause: "the number of bugs doubles every 18 months".
Some services somehow know that the phone number is VoIP (Google Voice) and disallow you from using it with TFA. IIRC, Steam is one example.
Yes. There is still a legion of critics who complain that AMZN doesn't return profits to shareholders rather than reinvest it in capital improvements. Even while their stock price keeps growing at an incredible pace.
I was able to workaround the issue in Firefox by overriding the GTK theme ( https://askubuntu.com/questions/8336/how-can-one-make-firefo... ) and then applying a Firefox-level dark theme.

In my experience, Chrome appears to ignore GTK-level themes entirely.

Most of those complaints about the technorati are about Google/Facebook etc. Large companies that bus in their employees. But this legislation won't affect any of them because they are all grandfathered in.

And I think I agree with your cynic. How many people who live in affordable housing are going to be going to the same restaurants for lunch as googler/facebookers anyway?

If you want people to care about a neighborhood, give them housing to live there. Or take a softer approach and tax cafeterias and use the proceeds to actually improves someone's lives.
It increases the cost of all menu interactions with non-focused app by one click. I'm not sure if gnome 3 duplicates that menu bar on each monitor, but if it doesn't then it means significantly more steps (strictly speaking) to locate the app, locate the menu bar, return to the app.

It also encourages a poor menu paradigm (imo) of nested menus. Iconography, ribbons, searchable action bars, and other innovations are more often found on OSes where the choice isn't made for the user.

It seems really silly with how UIs have evolved to use a Mac at work, with half of the menus in the app and a seemingly random other half in a disconnected set of nested menus. That's my experience at least.
Yeah this is totally the fault of feminists.
I understand what you say, but in truth the rewards available for hard work in this arena would not really have suited me. I do not want the responsibility of a higher position, especially since I see that many well qualified and motivated people are unable to keep up with the pressure. I like my life simple, so I have moved on. Actually, I am well pleased at my new position and although it is the virtually the same job, embedded organisational differences mean that the pressures and frustrations will not be the same.
How do you deal with evolving software versions (and dataset versions, and build environment). Do you have to retrain the whole weights to make sure the training would results in exactly the same weights. Maybe some unit cases/non-regression tests between versions to check that there are no breaking changes and that results are fully deterministic?
Meg McArdle recently wrote a piece with some pretty convincing evidence that this is just factually untrue on a per capita basis.

Yea I'm not moving there, but I'm pretty sure they'll figure out the water issue as they always do.

My point was more that there's probably 8-10 metro areas that fall into the "second-tier", but Austin somehow gets pretty consistently thrown out as some alternative to the valley.

But the numbers play out a bit differently. In terms of VC investments, Austin is yes..second-tier (really 3rd, b/c NYC, LA, and Boston make a case for being the 2nd and everyone else is well behind them)..right there with Miami, Chicago, DC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, etc. In other words...it's just a regular city that has an ok tech scene.

Not to say that VC money is the only metric by which we should judge, but it's a pretty decent barometer.

For a UI consistency is better than dynamic elements. In fairness this can be used as an argument in favor of the global menu too, depending on exactly what you want to be consistent.

Linux desktops are usually "focus follows mouse" (because the scrollwheel is part of the mouse not the keyboard), so in the second screenshot with two apps side by side and the right one in focus, moving the mouse to the menu will result in the active application and menu changing.
Can anyone explain how the age of nematodes is confirmed to be 42,000 years from the age of deposits: The duration of natural cryopreservation of the nematodes corresponds to the age of the deposits, 30000–40000 years.
> he patient can only sue if the patient has been harmed. They aren't performing the extra tests in case just wakes up and decides to sue them. They perform the extra tests so that they don't miss something that could harm the patient so badly that they sue.

Unfortunately this is not how good medicine is practiced. Medicine is not a straightforward hard-science. Tests are expensive, patients dont follow through, they have personal consequences, chances you got something are 100% but chances you got something specific are 0.0001%.

It is digestible for a doctor to have liability but compare it to other professions: does a web developer that botched a UI for a bank transfer and introduces some consequence go to jail for robbery?
Doctors have too high a burden. And a decision or an oversight that makes someone die could be as stupid as a misprint on a paper.

Sounds like that makes you a pretty good team lead, though. Competence isn't all technical -- you have to be good at what you do. There's no benefit in a team lead that sucks at leading a team but is a total luminary at $TECHNICAL_TOPIC.
