Beause 42 is always a good answer, maybe.
Concurrency works just as beautifully on single-core CPUs. :)
I bet it's super reliable.
The condition/restart system truly is close to magical. I've never used a system that was built on them, though. :(

I think the problem is that it really is geared to empower the operator of the system. That is, it is seen as where you give the operator of the system a chance to choose what to do next. Much of the code I write is assuming the operator can start things, and that is about it. They are not sitting at a terminal waiting to make a decision about something. Too many transactions happening for that to be even remotely feasible.
At least around the mainstream languages, I find the try/catch construct (where errors are treated very differently than return codes) much more prevalent. C‘s hacky -1 style perverted error codes don‘t really count for me. And where you have error return values by convention (like Node.JS), these are on top of this, so calling library code isn‘t guaranteed to not error out synchronously as well.

So if Google started to say that Google is primarily an interface to Google products, their anti-competetive behaviour would suddenly be okay?
Perhaps the funding he secured involved Tesla's revenue sources to include cannabis operations.
Python supports thread and process based concurrency. Most optimizations require effort, or they wouldn’t be called optimizations.

It’s not weakly types either: you can’t add a list to a string. It’s dynamically typed.

It is amusing to read people's opinion on the military yet work for Google, Facebook, Twitter etc... Who put profits above everything else, without concern for privacy, security or their users. While the US military isn't a beacon of ethics, it has done far more good for our country than any tech company.
Yes I need evidence. Especially since you claim it is obvious that "the Media" is anti-Trump it shouldn't be hard for you to bring forward that evidence.

> Can you name any large, well known newspapers that endorsed him?

No! You are not allowed to turn the tables on me. You are the one that should show that "the Media" is anti-Trump, I shouldn't have to prove that it isn't.
Yeah, especially with these cheapo Chinese LEDs. I looked into spectrometers, but they seem pretty pricey. Maybe some sort of plastic filter that blocks the shorter wavelengths?
I wonder why the media new cycle keeps making him say outlandish stuff! What do the majority of other company CEOs have over the entire industry and Twitter to somehow appear to be quietly doing their job?
An interesting compilation.

Are you planning to update this frequently yourself?
Or relying on the ecosystem to maintain and update?
Things are decent on average, but there's a persistent carelessness and rush to do things without paying attention to the consequences. More in packages than base nowadays, but there's a lot of merging and releasing things immediately without waiting for code review that could have caught mistakes before breaking users.

That's just the tip of the iceberg for Elon. He has a lot to answer for Tesla including the "self-driving" claim fiascos and all this erratic behavior. He puts video games into the center console of the Model 3 while also claiming that drivers need to pay complete attention during operation.

Compared to Sergey, Besoz or Tim Cook and I'd rather have them as CEO than someone interested in "memes".
I don't think davesque's comment said anything about "fault".

He said he's gotten tired of all these stories about Tesla and Musk, so he's unlikely to buy a Tesla now.

That's a statement about davesque and how his frustration is souring him on the brand. Fault doesn't really play into it.
> They are a for-profit enterprise, they do not care about making your life "easier" -- they want your money.

Interestingly, one way they can get my money is by making my life easier. And I'm not the only one who is happy to pay for that. In which case it makes perfect sense for them to care very much about making my life easier, as it is essential to their profits...
>I really find it hard to believe that blue light exposure is automatically bad.

Few things are "automatically" bad. Over time though, effects are cummulative, and there are also breaking points for lots of bad stuff.
Great questions.

We believe that YC builds companies that are lean, scale efficiently, and build products that people want. We felt like we had a product that people wanted, and wanted a bit more guidance on how to grow.

Our technology differentiation is taking advantage of the growth of delivery platforms to scale our business via commissary kitchens.

This article has some true observations, but the conclusions seem to go in a totally wrong direction.

Writing a PhD is a very ambitious endeavor. You will inevitably have your downs and crises, because research is hard. This is independent of the research topic. Now asking that the PhD thesis should not only advance research, but also 'improve society' will only increase the pressure.

The author also has the purpose of a PhD wrong: this is your research journeyman time, and delivering the PhD thesis is like creating your masterpiece as craftsman (in the original meaning where you create a fine piece of work which earns you the right to call yourself master of a craft). The real, unsupervised research career starts after PhD. This also means that it would be a very bad idea to start with high-risk research. Do this as PostDoc, when you have acquired all the necessary skills.

Not focusing on publications is the worst advice one can give aspiring academics. Research is about advancing shared knowledge, and the only way to do this is to share your results. If you don't manage to publish, either your results are not relevant, or your work is not considered sound by your peer researchers. Successful publishing in reputable venues validates your research, and is the most effective way to disseminate new insights. I agree that the publishing system is broken. You have to work around that by choosing the right venues. This is another academic skill you need to learn.

If you really want to improve society and feel insufficient if you 'only' improve your research field, then don't pursue a research career. Better go work for some non-profit organization, or found one.
Does this change impact the ability to programatically create ads? I seem to remember the Facebook API treating ads as a kind of shadow post on a page the last time I messed with it. If that is still the case, this could also force users into the Facebook UI for that functionality.

Indeed, but the requirement for a teaching degree is actively defended by the union, and is on a tenuous footing. It's not required for private K-12 schools, where pay and benefits are in fact drastically lower. The government of my state (Wisconsin) has moved to relax teacher licensing requirements for public schools.

When I was an adjunct, I had no interest in getting onto the tenure track, or in teaching as a career. I was simply new in town and needed a job.

Well done! That will show them.
The vast majority of "free speech safe" sites are. Where else would they post these opinions?

I also laugh at the poster claiming this violates his free speech rights. The fact that Microsoft does not want to publish his nonsense, as a private company, is one of THEIR free speech rights.
If there's demand for something close by, then the market will provide it. The key point is, parents can make a decision with vouchers, rather than being forced to go to a particular school based on your district.
This is an excellent set of metrics. This is what I used as well.
While the headline seems like a lot of money, it makes me realize how thin the margins are becoming on these tech services.

Zhang is an outlier. From what I followed when his proof came out, there were actually very similar ideas being developed by Terry Tao at UCLA and by a PhD student at Oxford. The sort of places you'd expect. And IIRC, Zhang actually come from the top math department in China. He just had trouble getting a good job in the U.S.

It is also fair to wonder just where this twin prime conjecture is leading us in terms of usefulness. I know it's hard, but we should be able to draw direct comparisons to how something like RSA panned out. Though RSA is pretty easy to understand. Maybe a better example is elliptic curve cryptography, though I know nothing about that. Can we at least provide a road map for how understanding the twin prime conjecture will lead to useful, practical techniques?

(And yeah, I accidentally added a "not" there. Will edit.)
> I think they are right but they really have no proof that they avoided the IPO pop discount. They actually opened trading at $165.90 and closed at $149.01.

I think the proper cause of action in that case was to return the car and do an old fashioned stake out with lots of beer.. I mean redbull and catch the burglars redhanded.
would it be feasible to use this technique to modify the SD card so that instead of broadcasting an SSID, it attempts to connect to an SSID and (upon successful connection) pushes the contents of its filesystem to an HTTP endpoint?

i'm imagining an SD card that automatically empties itself onto my private server when i get home... rather than an SD card that i can manually access wirelessly.
I was thinking that was low for _one_ year when you consider that it's a contract position, so the consultant is on the hook for self-employment taxes and health insurance and such.
apenwarr has very little to do with OnHub. That said, OnHub is a wifi/firewall/router, and the bloat is in your modem, not in the router. OnHub can’t fix that unless it uses a configurable token bucket like in the article.
Uber and Lyft actually offered to support a $100M bribe-er, I mean, "hardship" fund to support underwater individual (i.e., not those taxi business that own multiple medallions) medallion owners, but the city refused. Which makes sense since how are the politicians suppose to get money from that?
What makes f.lux inaccurate? Color perception is relative and if you are in a dark room, your eyes should adjust to different white points naturally. This is the same thing that makes it so a white piece of paper looks white no matter whether you are inside or outside, even though the actual light reflected from the paper has a radically different spectrum in each case.

1. docs.tryretool.com - we just added it - thanks!

2. You can install Retool in your EC2 instance, and block all inbound / outbound network traffic. I'll send you an email about it!

3. Yes - we can! Curious to hear about your use case though - is it for BI?

4. We integrate with Google, Okta or any SAML 2.0 provider. Would that work for you guys?

5. Any! Yep - we handle authentication in the API query itself, or you can create an API with authentication stored server-side. Here are docs on generic APIs: https://docs.tryretool.com/docs/apis, and here are docs on GraphQL: https://docs.tryretool.com/docs/graphql

WRT cookies specifically - even though requests from the browser get proxied through our backend we support forwarding authentication cookies to the browser that is tied to the user's specific session in Retool. (I thought we had written docs for this but can't find them now. Ping me @ david@tryretool.com and I can tell you how we do it!)

I assumed you were a CA teacher. It is truly a maddening situation there, and I have a feeling most of it is fairly unique to California. Teacher pay varies considerably between districts - some pay six figures while others top out at 65k. The pension benefits largely depend on pay, but usually it's something like 2% of salary for each year of service, which they can collect starting at 62.

>We need to accept this reality instead of shaking our heads at one another in faux reproach (probably over dinner, made from 20 ingredients shipped from all across the globe).

The severe issue for the last 5-6 months since trying to use LED panels has been a tingling/tightness sensation around cheeks/nose that spreads to back of head/neck/trapezius turning into pain/ache. If you clench your eyes/face and lean forward you can feel the neck/upper back tighten too and it's all that area which makes me think something is triggering eye muscles to the degree they are making me tense everything else, but I have had lots of "intuition" about this that was never correct.

Eyes have always been dry since lasik, esp when living in forced air homes, but drops and blinking don't help this. No redness that stood out to me.No peripheral vision issues. No color distortions/double vision/ weird visual stuff but mild floaters I have had for 20-25 years. It can trigger anywhere from seconds to several minutes depending on the display. I have not had an exam when it's present. No insurance and scheduling/access is not quick.

Switching to any reading/distance but the LED displays soothes it with time and I feel no symptoms reading on paper. If its flared badly and other pain/stress/tension is high it can take some hours or a night's sleep to recover. On a good day with only a few min of strain induced, an hour outside is enough. Font size, antialiasing, resolution, different distros, drivers never mattered...even tried an all AMD laptop as some think intel drivers are the culprit but it was worse than most. The old display is supposedly the worst of all specs...low res/glossy/TN/CCFL/ has PWM and not great color gamut etc. Running Xubuntu on it, but that same distro and all others hurt on the LED laptops.

Thank you for your input, but I mostly want to thank you for f.lux. It has been one of my favorite things for a long time. It's silly how long it's taken companies to provide a native blue light filter and your product just kicks ass.

> Probably because it's not quite an opinion piece.

Then why is it published on the "opinion" section of the website? https://i.imgur.com/qjmJqaK.png

Its an opinion piece. A writer from Bloomberg offers their opinion on an issue, as opposed to the facts. Its very important to know when you're reading an opinion vs reading a journalism post.

Most media (even Fox), does a decent job with the journalism pages. Its the opinion pieces where all the bias comes in. Still, opinion pieces are useful to see what people out there are thinking. Its important to know what the viewpoints are.

But most opinion pieces "dress up" the facts to suit their argument, as opposed to reporting precisely on the facts.

I believe voice ducking is supported (at least on windows), I don't think their infrastructure is made to self host, it's not a self contained binary is a set of databases, different servers for voice vs text etc.

How does decoupling voice and text channels encourage spam? Why would you want it to not be persistent? Many communities now use discord instead of slack/irc/etc, barely touching the voice features if at all. Everyone already has discord and they have great community management features for groups of people.

I know several subreddits, gaming communities, youtubers, etc. have moved their "live chat" to discord. You don't even have to install discord to use it.

Edit: Mumble isn't bad and it sounds like you aren't the target demographic of discord. If you want a self-hosted, voice chat first program then mumble is definitely what you're looking for.
