No, I cannot be sued for admitting this, because in my current position no one reports to me. And ironically, the bogeyman of being sued is not that scary. I have been falsely accused three times over the years, and completely exonerated by the EEOC and a court of law in one case. (The other two cases crumbled under the weight of the accusers' accumulated lies before getting to that point, so bad that their lawyers withdrew from representing them.)

But it's easy in today's climate to make a baseless accusation.

And you realize that you could be sued for defamation of character by falsely accusing me of sexual harassment in a public forum, right?
You were right the first time. You discriminated your behavior based on the gender of your reports, knowing that doing so harmed the careers of the women who reported to you. It's a little weird that you think you can somehow rationalize your way out of that. It's even weirder that you think that your own perceived self-interest somehow immunizes you. You said it yourself! Own it!

And then stop doing it!
A quicker way to put this:
- let's say you want your book to be read by more than 2 or 3 people; let's use the number 10,000 for argument's sake.
- let's say most people read 10 books in a year (some do more, but many do less)
- that means out of 1,000 people, they can support one, count it one, book per year
- so out of those 1,000 people, fewer than 100 will get to write even a single book that gets read by significant numbers of people

All the other stuff in this article is no doubt true, but in fact people who write really, really good books that succeed at all of that still don't get read. It's simply a matter of arithmetic. Most of us will not be writing best sellers, even if we all write amazingly good books.
People who can "vacation at home" either:

a. don't have kids

b. don't have relatives and friends nearby

c. don't upkeep their own house or living quarters (has a maid/servent/relative living with them that does everything)

The thought of staying home for my vacation, at least for me, is met with feelings of intense drudgery. There is nothing relaxing to me about the suburban/urban rat race I live in.

A couple of years ago, I took a flight to Jamaica and stayed at a Butler Resort. I literally sat on turquoise water, white sand beaches all day and had rum drinks brought to me on a silver platter. It was all inclusive, including the spa. If it doesn't make sense to you, you aren't going to the right places. If cost is an issue, I wouldn't have been planning a trip to begin with.
Hit which market? The Norwegian market?
These generator+gearbox combo's operate at efficiencies (mechanical to electrical power) in the order of 80-90%. I would assume it will be quite challenging to do that with a 100m long mechanical transmission system handling 5-10MW. I wonder how much maintenance such a system would require too.
And what if you match with a coworker?
Jobs that afford expendable income to be able to travel are rarely physically exhausting. Most vacations are mental "breaks" from work.

We don't need to be still to relax. Just like exercising the right amount can actually boost your energy, simulating your brain in the right amount can help provide a break from your work.

For most people, exiting a new place on a leisurely schedule can be just the right amount of simulation to feel relaxing.
Sounds doable. I'll prepare for 1.11 with #119 and get familiar with the code base, then pitch in with others.
When I lived in Texas in a house with a back yard and several nice walking trails within 200 yards from it I used to say the same thing.

Then I sold the house and moved into a tiny 1br apartment in Manhattan. I loved the change and enjoyed the energy of the city, sunny weekends in Central Park, etc. but... Within a year I started to crave for just being outside with a book/drink by myself, without the crowds and the noise. We booked one of those tropical vacations and I was surprised how nice it was.
A lot of my components contain something like this line: const Comp = ({children, className}) => {}.

If you need to merge it with some statically applied class names in your component you need to access it. This is an absolutely common thing. It would be terrible if i'd need to access it by using a string. And even then I would need to assign it to a name other then "class" which makes it even more confusing then naming it "className" by convention.
You need to internalize that some day soon you won't be able to do this soon. Your son will have other interests than spending time with you. You have his full attention now but it will go away because of friends, career, his own family, etc. This is a very special time in your life. Don't waste it.
My sane comment is certainly a joke. I think self confirmation of that would be quite difficult indeed haha

In terms of seeing red the same. I think you are misinterpreting what I mean by “seeing”, I’m not talking about the chemical process of how our eyes receive light “signals” and input that into your brain. I’m talking about the “images” your mind draws, the mental image that you see. This is an age old philosophy question and a more nuanced than the way you are stating it. Perceptions being in agreement is not the end all of this question. It is also not meaningless. It’s only meaningless if your goal is that two agents can agree that something is red. But that’s definitely not the essence of the question.

As far as me using the word “deeper”, I do think that’s a bit assumptive on my end. I really only know that it’s “more” and “different” than how I normally experience things. I also think the phrase idle day dreaming does not capture what I experience. I know the difference between my mind just wandering when sitting on a bus and when my mind is exploding with intense visuals, patterns, and thoughts.
I think one of the issues with Best In Class education is that students peak too early.

What happens to the top students? They get sucked up by the biggest firms that need smart people to figure out answers to problems.

They make 100k-250k out of college... and thats it.

At those wages, why bother inventing an app/business, you are already working 60 hours a week at your well compensated job.
As another anecdotal datum: my dad and stepmom met (and started dating) as coworkers, and they've been married (happily, as far as I can tell) for 25 years now.
Yes the most relaxing vacations I take are when I get away from my house and local environment, but do virtually nothing at my vacation destination. By nothing I mean just live in the local environment. Don't try to see all the things, or make a lot of plans in advance.
It's unfortunate (and likely economically sensible) that most cloud providers dont offer Power hardware. Running Oracle on Power systems is probably the only reason anyone still runs AIX these days, nd many orgs haven't gone to the cloud because of huge Power/AIX footprints. Even without a ULA in play, licensing on Power systems is significantly more attractive than running on Intel when it comes to Oracle.
Shouldn't they have the option of dropping a working bomb on the location, thus delivering the explosion that their defective bomb failed to deliver?

My wife had the idea to go for a week in S. France and leave our three old with grandparents in Canada.

Worst descision ever. By day two we were miserable thinking about our little one, and every toddler we saw made us cringe.
Nice, this looks like exactly what I want in a starter ui mockup app - no accounts to create, saves things as offline files, simple.
I really enjoy seeing Julia devs so invested and up-to-date with projects and experiments like this, because isn't this the bread and butter of technical computing? The nitty gritty of making all these bits and bytes do work! So cool.

Is Ryu.jl significantly faster than what's in Base? Is there already an open issue somewhere?
It is more complicated than I thought: -mtune, -march in GCC
Codec 2 2200
Hydraulic transmission has been proposed.[1] That would move the generator to ground level. But even its enthusiasts say the hydraulics won't scale beyond the 500KW level. This article is about scaling to 20MW or so.

Vestas is up to 9.5MW for their biggest offshore model. It has a gearbox; it's not direct drive. Probably because at that scale it only turns about 10 RPM.

> the very real and well-known risk of being accused of sexual harassment

Right there - that's the sexist part. Do you believe there's an epidemic of vengeful women running around falsely accusing men of sexual harassment?

Because there isn't - but I'd love to hear your stories.
> ...have a lot of people fact-checking each other instead of just depending on one source giving us information

Reminds me of one of the main reasons I enjoy discussions on HN so much.

> ...instead of just depending on one source giving us information... The fact that we’re all posting about these things means we all have to do research

Therein lies the rub - how do you vet the "research" of your peers in content that seems to largely not cite references? My guess is that they are likely to be using the same sources of information without realizing or acknowledging it.
That's one of the weaker attempts at shaming someone into doing something foolish and unnecessary that I've encountered.

Contrary to popular belief and widespread practice, 1:1s are not essential to developing employees. There are lots of other very effective ways to develop people on a team. (That's right, the men on my teams didn't get 1:1s either. And yet, somehow we got stuff done.)

This is exactly why I don't manage anyone any more. It's so tiresome when people with ten or twenty or thirty years less experience fight you every step of the way. I made enough doing that, now I make enough doing something else.
Life gets simpler when you evaluate facts based of if they're true or not, rather than on how much you like the person delivering them.
The Search for Tastier Supermarket Tomatoes: A Tale in 3 Acts
I think “experiences” are basically tours repackaged for a generation that has become used to extremely high levels of production value in all the forms of entertainment which they consume.
I think this has always happened among teens. When Facebook was popular among adolescent groups, FB pages existed that were identical to the messages shared on these "flop accounts".
Exploiting BadUSB to get YouTube subscribers
Interesting how tenuous alleged racism is reprehensible, but explicit tweets about enjoying pedophilia are just jokes. Me personally, I think child sexual abuse is at least as bad as saying someone looks like their facelifted face is out of an old b movie.

Rosanne says she didn’t mean it to be racist. I’m not a mind reader, but apparently half the users of the Internet have that gift. Until I acquire it, I’m stuck with an interpretation where her word is evidence for her intent.

Facebook Research’s Pythia - A Software Suite for Visual Question Answering
This is a Mac program. One of the reasons why the Mac has historically been far ahead of other platforms is because its display could leverage centuries of advances in typography, and not be confined to the a 1970s character cell display designed by illiterates. Ligatures are extremely important for the platform and for the audience.
Simulations? No implementations?
I can imagine that well. I sometimes have to go on business trips for a day or two. It's always pulling at my heartstrings. I don't think a holiday alone is a good solution, I was just wondering if there is something that I can do to ease the stress of managing the needs of a kid in a holiday setting.
This is the first time I've heard of the "muscle test". Is it basically what's described here: http://amybscher.com/getting-answers-from-the-subsconscious-...
A non-exhaustive list of iterm2 features:

- killer tmux integration (tmux sessions on a remote machine behave like normal tabbed panes, no idiotic prefix-key, broken scrolling and selection etc. etc.)

- the ability to rebind just left or right command keys to meta (and leave the other one working for "normal" copy and paste etc.)

- instant replay and generally very sophisticated output and output history handling (e.g. it's trivial to copy the last command's output or autocomplete from output history, all via keyboard shortcuts).

- annotations

- command click to open e.g. files output by ls (which requires keeping track of cwd at output time)

- input broadcasting

- simultaneous search across all terminals

- mature and polished (renders unicode, including line drawing characters reliably, deals with large output history and many tabs etc. just fine)

- image output

Alacrity (whilst interesting) has precisely zero of these features. In fact I'd already be delighted to find a single linux terminal that has tmux integration.
If you take a statistical approach to describing phenomena, then the parent’s point stands, despite the outliers you mention.
I know that life changed, I'm just wondering what other parents are doing and what works for them. Asking here because working in tech we have similar freedoms that other people might not enjoy.
Its hard for me to say If I’ve always had it and to what degree. But my mind wandering in and out of frames of reference has always been a thing. Its been my main source of creativity and mental fun.

For the most part of my life however, I’ve been as most scientists have, locked into the notion that only that of which we can perceive and replicate in the lab is intelligible and thus worth talking about. But it’s also always been a bit frustrating as there is clearly “more” to the nature of the Universe and existence. So I’ve always been a bit bummed that we appear to be trapped in these mental prisons.

The more profound experiences I’ve had have been due to psychedelics, and ultimately now I just mediatate daily and have gotten better at revisiting that mental space.
The only thing I could definitively say about the experience is that I “saw” _more_. What was the nature of what I saw? I don’t know. Probably just a trick of the mind. I try not to read into it too much. I am now just happy to have a small view into something other than the everyday “top of the pyramid of consciousness” perspective that we are normally bound to.
I've conducted many interviews from such parking lots. I would completely use the library more if they didn't block non-443 ports (though it's understandable that they do).
The first illustration is terrible. It's making multiple comparisons at the same time, the most prominent being the difference in blade size, which isn't variable between the 3 technologies the article is actually talking about. Whilst at the same time making it harder to see the pertinent data, differences in the generator size and weight.
Minicourse in Deep Learning with PyTorch
No runtime gets included in the build.
Throwing an hypothesis: since the 50s the drift into youth culture leads to an immature relationship to the world, a distaste with adult lingo because of a lack of habits regarding complexity and abstractions. I think this is a mistake.
It still seems to take a long time to cat a file in iTerm compared to Terminal.app.

In Terminal, I can cat a 1.5M line file in about 5 seconds, it takes about twice as long in the new iTerm beta.

But iTerm is certainly updating the screen more often than Terminal (it looks smoother at least), so maybe that's because Terminal is doing a better job of allowing the screen buffer to update independently of the drawing thread.
Some Thoughts on How to Teach Programming
No, I am just saying that care should be taken to reduce the appearance of impropriety when personal relationships are involved at work. The severity of the risk scales with the nature of the personal relationship (friend, lover, family). You seem to be trying to get me to say that this is a binary all-or-nothing thing, which is absurd.
Kind of counter intuitive. Wouldn’t the GPU be more efficient at rendering graphics than the CPU? For laptop models with dedicated GPU just use the integrated one on battery but ALWAYS prefer Metal GPU rendering to software.
The sheer variety of these sorts of experience to me point to a deeper kind of agency than our conscious minds can access. It's hard to point to, it's hard to nail down, but in my mind, you can put agency on a continuum from bacteria all the way to God.

Tolkien is phenomenal at describing divine agency. Eru Iluvatar only occasionally imposes his will on the world, but mostly just lets it run. Where he imposes his will, it's actively needed in order to further his plan. Fantasy is a fantastic vehicle for exploring non-human, non-physically-based intelligent agency. I'm not entirely sure why I went on this tangent, but I'll leave it in instead of deleting it.

Okay now I feel like I have a handle on it. Why we do things and what happens to us makes a kind of sense that transcends the mundane. Imagining that it's God is a perfect metaphor to describe the transcendence. When you describe going down to the base levels of sensation, the reason your particular mysticism dives in that direction has a reason, and that reason will be explainable by pure chance, but it will also be explainable by some deeper element of your life or psyche or whatever. Mysticism wants to dive in and create more reasons and more questions, while materialism wants to stop the process and state that there's nothing further to examine.

If I had to choose between materialism and psychosis, I'd pick psychosis. Luckily I don't have to embrace psychosis to throw away materialism.
At one point Joe Rogan had 20k subscribers. Now he’s arguably the most influential interviewer in the world.

All important things start small. It can be useful to pay attention to small, interesting phenomena.
I treated the men on my teams exactly the same way. There was no discrimination. They were all treated equally.

It's a little weird that you think you have all the information you need to pass judgment on my career from a few short comments on an internet forum. It's even weirder that you haven't made any substantive comment or query on how that policy played out in real life, but rather resorted instantly to shrill pronouncements on my character.

If you can't look back over your career and see where some things you did might have been harmful to some of your employees, you either lack self-awareness or you never had any employees. I'm guessing it's the latter. You have way too many internet points for someone with real responsibility for other people's well-being at work.

Finally, I no longer manage people, so I have stopped doing it. I hope you can sleep now.
That feature's really great. You can add grayscale and smart invert and make a superb reading mode.
I would staycation a lot more but bringing up a number of children, who fortunately have daily lives that closely resemble the description of activities in the article, generally requires some adventure to relieve them from the mundaneness of hanging at home or around the hood.

Going somewhere serene and quiet, and staying put there is my first choice. But finding and getting to and from these places, especially during school holidays, takes some effort and planning. Last summer we drove for 8 hours to a camp spot (not unusual for families to do here in Australia).
DOS/4G ?

A Look at New Xamarin Forms Features
There is handlebar, you can use it with Glimmer.js. It is still the fastest and future proof with WebAssembly.
You're never going to know that for sure, the more important part is that if you're going to try being clever make sure it can't be misinterpreted as you being an asshole.
The only one I know of is fakespot https://www.fakespot.com/, and they also have browser extensions.
I mean, every ”rescue disc” that loads its own shell instead of an OS works this way. Plenty of software in the DOS days loaded right off a floppy. Not to mention that DOS software worked pretty close to the metal in the first place.

I think I've also seen rescue discs that use DOS for initialization but then the software takes over so that when you exit it just reboots the computer instead of dropping you to the shell.
Cool, thanks -- maybe I'll give built-in Terminal another whirl at some point then.
Yes. In the video provided in that link, I use the first method described, the O-ring method.
Yes, I think preliminary tests showed that it was faster than Grisu (which is what we're using in Base currently). It also seems significantly simpler (Grisu is generally fairly simple but has a custom BigInt implementation to handle some corner cases, which makes things complicated). Not a good time right now to swap the float print algorithm, but a good project for post-1.0.

I don't see an issue about it at the moment. I guess we just expect Jacob to PR it at some point. IIRC he also wrote the Grisu implementation that's in Base.
Clicked on the link, clicked on Live Demo, clicked around for a while, got no idea what this is or how it works, tried reading through the homepage, learned it's written in node.js and that it changed the way how some random company works now, closed the tab.

Your homepage described how you solve some problem without explaining what the problem actually is.
Funny how something like this gains traction after not being touched for several years. Nice tool though.
The relative social position of the person making the argument has no bearing on whether the argument is correct.
I don't see any such thing. Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 on Ubuntu. I suppose it's not worth filing a bug report.
The Chinese government prints much more money though. Inflation is much more serious in China. The official stats doesn’t reflect this, but it’s clear for anyone who’s familiar with price changes in China
For some reason this page displayed only its green background for a few seconds. Did anyone else have this problem?

Administrative Purgatory
Are you saying that privileged people should refrain from publishing analyses about the state of the world and the progress which has been made? Perhaps you're saying that you personally can't separate what you know about the author from the position he is trying to present, and you may not be alone in that.

There may be an interesting question here about the tension between, on the one hand, the benefit of anonymous publication to stop positive or negative associations with the author from affecting how their work is received, and on the other hand, the need for full disclosure when an author advocates for certain policies that they might gain undue benefit from.
This idea of combining concurrent processes and data tables is reminiscent of "tuple spaces" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple_space, https://software-carpentry.org/blog/2011/03/tuple-spaces-or-...).
Most of these communities are not farming communities, most farms are huge multi-million dollar enterprises that do not need a broadband subsidy, food can be imported, there's a whole market for paying people for the food they produce, etc.

This isn't about food nor farmers.

When a Surfer Lands a Skateboard Trick, Who Gets to Name It?
