Please give me any example of a major world city where living 'intramuros' is cheap lol....

Salaries are on part with major tech hubs (NYC OR SF are WAY MORE EXPENSIVE than paris and salaries match at the end)

Paris is the 15th most polluted city in europe and not the 2nd...

"People are rude" - is a generalization and racism toward parisians. plus if you feel like everyone is rude start asking yourself some questions man....

Plus in terms of dirty you never lived in SF or NEW York or any part of China I guess.
Indeed it's pretty cool. Thanks :)
That's no excuse — Portugal uses the same road markings, as does most of the world. A solid line across the road shows where to stop when the light is red. It's defined in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic Signs and Signals:

"A transverse marking consisting of a continuous line across one or more traffic lanes shall mark the line behind which drivers are required by
the sign B, 2, "STOP", referred to in Article 10, paragraph 3, of this Convention, to stop. Such a marking may also be used to show the line be
hind which drivers may be required to stop by a light signal"

It's "just" a renderer for a subset of HTML/CSS. Things like this existed for a long time, and even smaller (e.g. https://github.com/libRocket/libRocket).

Electron on the other hand is a full browser runtime, for better or worse. It probably would make more sense to create a cross-platform application packager which embeds the operating system's web-renderer into a window. But I think one of the main selling points of Electron is that you're guaranteed a specific version of the browser runtime, so your app suddenly won't stop working with a browser update.
I am not colorblind, but work with data visualization in Matlab a lot. This hilarious SciPy2015 talk[1] convinced me to switch to the Parula color scheme. There's no way I'm going back to Jet.

Computer simulations (without actual experiments) of improved advanced techniques to produce a "shower" of electrons and positrons by hitting a metal target with a laser, which are then accelerated and confined with a second laser driving plasma waves.

The figures in the article, with lasers reflected by mirrors and particle beams going through the mirrors, suggest a very small but decently powerful single stage accelerator; using this technique as a building block for a large accelerrator isn't discussed.

30% of the french salary goes to social security and retirements.

Also remember we are talking about tech. Not all salaries.
A (car) motorist crashed into my 5-year old son while he was riding his bicycle through a cross-walk (legal here). She had a stop-sign and failed to look right to see him before plowing forward. She ran over his bike, but he was knocked back and escaped with only bruises and scrapes. He had clear right-of-way.

Cyclists (the less considerate ones) can be unpredictable and frustrating for cars - I appreciate that. But "Get off the roads!" is only a very small part of the issue. Respect, training, and consequences commensurate with the level of damage inflictable by cars is something very absent from US driving culture (especially where I live in the relatively rural northwest). Cyclists whether on the road, bike paths, sidewalks, etc. kill and seriously injure people with negligible frequency compared to cars per mile.
I guess any other city than US. I'm fine with paying up front for multiple months, but I was asked multiple times to provide details of my salary for the last 3 months, working for the company that employs me, a FR guarantor (which not coming from France is not that easy to find, I was lucky my company helped me here) + your salary needs to be 3x rent and there's about 20 people looking to move in to every apartment 1h after it's posted on any apartment board.

> Investment dollars are like voting

No, not really. If the market is efficient, the price of a given security isn't dependent on whether or not you've invested in it. Your conscience is clear in that you haven't profited from <whatever> but you haven't affected anything.

Investment can be like voting in the sense that you can vote your shares, or even take legal action, as an investor and perhaps cause change that way. Sadly there's no way right now to do this if you own shares in an index fund.
Not trying to rain on your parade, I hope it fills your use case.

However, my IT company onboarded a media-intense client with insync and it has been nothing but a nightmare. There are hardcoded limits (like only syncing two files at a time, IIRC) that make it effectively useless for anything beyond small, personal use. It's cheap and you get what you pay for.
> Just to point that average does not mean that every tech worker get that.

Well, no. That's the point of having an average.

Would be good to have stats for median salary as well
There is "random variable" a.k.a function.
Nowhere in any of this is anybody saying "banning shouldn't ever happen". The only point presented is that banning is by nature a judgment call and the goalposts change over time.

The primary implication is that the corpus of banned content includes generally agreeably banned content, arguably banned content, and a record of historical shifts in bannability.

I'm not hostile, I just don't see the point in this. Funny enough, I googled "The Orange Juice Test" and found this explanation that makes a ton of sense:

----------------------

Even though this rule of thumb is very simple, it is very important and as always, has two perspectives that need to be considered, one of the recipient and another of the provider.

Service recipient perspective: A service recipient looks for some one who is knowledgeable about the request and shows enough signs of comprehension of the subject area/ domain. A provider who says that a request is not possible doesn't get the business. So is some one who says he/she/their organization will get it done, without getting in to the details. The person who is most likely to be given the business is some one who gets into the details and can quote a price and give reasons for the price. Of course giving details for the price quoted is not a guarantee to get the business, as the price may be too high for the service recipient.

Service provider perspective:This is about two things

#1 Knowing one's subject/domain well: The story may be about preparing fresh orange juice. But in real life, it is applicable for any work that we do. You the reader may be a developer, team lead, software engineer or a project manager. When some one asks whether an activity or a task can be done, you must be proficient enough about the subject to provide a correct response.

#2 Knowing the real cost and willing to quote the same: This is also about knowing the price of the service to be provided, being honest enough to quote it and also deliver the service provided at the cost promised. This strictly means no cheating ( doing the equivalent of promising fresh orange juice and delivering bottled juice or promising a large glass and delivering a small one). While people may think that quoting the actual cost will drive away prospective customers, truth is that genuine customers who require the service appreciate honest and transparent response.

----------------------

I guess my frustration boils down to the fact that intercom's blog used to be fantastic and this feels like a weak article. All filler and then two measly sentences to explain it all:

The key idea here is to propose a task you know to be extremely difficult but possible, and then measure the candidate’s reaction. If they are defeatist (“That can’t be done!“) or deluded (“I’d code that in a weekend“) then that’s what you’d be hiring.

I guess my hostility (I call it passion ;) ) is that there's not a lot of actionable advice to take from this article. The other article I found was basically the same but with a lot more meat around the point.

If you like this see also [1], and Joy as well as Iota and Jot[2] (programming languages). And maybe "Algorithmically probable mutations reproduce aspects of evolution such as convergence rate, genetic memory, and modularity": https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.00268v8

> In the context of his Metabiology programme, Gregory Chaitin, a founder of the theory of algorithmic information, introduced a theoretical computational model that evolves ‘organisms’ relative to their environment considerably faster than classical random mutation. While theoretically sound, the ideas had not been tested and further advancements were needed for their actual implementation. Here we follow an experimental approach heavily based on the theory that Chaitin himself helped found. We apply his ideas on evolution operating in software space on synthetic and biological examples and even if further investigation is needed this work represents the first step towards testing and advancing a sound algorithmic framework for biological evolution.

I think most of the crowd claiming that clojure is dying are those that feel that way by virtue of it being a lisp. And, oddly, most habits in most languages tend for them to pull more and more into them such that they are all looking for an uber language.
AMD has taken the lead in performance per watt??? Do you have a source? Everything I've seen shows Intel is either matched or better. If you also take capitol cost into account, maybe AMD is in the lead; I don't really know.

Either way, Intel is soon to release the first 10nm process product, which should provide a significant boost, as long as the architecture can take advantage of it.
Tour de France winner Ullrich held over 'escort' assault
See, this is some of my own problem. I personally despise going for a walk for the sake of going for a walk. The same for a bike ride. The only times I've enjoyed such things is when part of my unhappiness was at home and it was one of the few escapes available. I don't find these fun at all. Doing actual exercise sounds dreadful and embarrassing. Not to mention that finding basic gear is expensive and hard to find (I'm just talking about a sports bra here - unfortunately, if you are thin with breasts, these get incredibly hard to find and expensive and often must be mail-ordered, which makes them risky).

Yet I'll walk to anywhere within a half an hour's walk. I'll do that daily. Grocery store? walk. I'll go longer at times. I'll take the stairs. I'll go out hiking and walking to see something or do something.

Unfortunately, if I have nothing to see or do - no work or lack the means to do something - I rarely do these things. These have generally been the times when my mental health is worst as well (though that trend has changed the last few years). It makes me despise these sorts of reports.
Brainwashing fills needs intellectual honesty cannot, which is why it has historically won and will continue to win.

Why do they need to directly support the underlying filesystem? Can't they have support for the high level fs api? Sure not as performant but at least will work.
Yes. Submitted title was "(XKCD) Voting software? a terrifying idea". That breaks two of the site guidelines: the one against editorializing in titles and the one that asks you not to include the domain name in the title text (since it shows up next to it anyway).

Submitters: accounts that break these rules eventually lose story submission privileges, so please don't do that.
As a workaround you simply approximate to a significant figure past any other values in your calculation. So in practice it doesn't really matter that there's no exact base-10 representation as a decimal because there's always an approximation that introduces no error.
Also, it's not just the athletic power, but the bike design and the technique of the rider.

I ride a hard-tail mountain bike I converted for commuting with some more appropriate city tires. I am no triathlete, but I know enough to shift into the right starting gear before I stop and to sit with one pedal up in a position that allows a good power stroke to get rolling again. I am often first across a large intersection when the light changes, although a few drag-racing cars may catch up (against the general trend in which drivers seem more distracted and slower to respond to light changes these days).

I see younger, healthier riders who wobble all over the intersection like a little kid learning to ride. They have their bikes in the wrong gear or have a bike with fixed gearing. They fumble around trying to get both feet on the pedals before they even have enough forward movement to balance. And, some ride bikes that seem to be configured in the worst possible way for balance and efficiency, with bad geometry, seats and handlebars in the wrong place, or absurdly heavy materials...
I understand the question, but as @AndyKelley taught me (https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/993#commitcomment-289183...), it is actually worse to zero a value unnecessarily if you can use Valgrind/sanitizers to check for uninitialized values. Initializing the value as zero will prevent the detection of a bad value.
There's plenty of metropolitan cities where no one has to drive, but there's plenty of rural areas where it's pretty much a necessity, and plenty of suburban areas where you can easily bike everywhere (or even walk if you have the time or drive if you don't). The greatest thing about the US is the choices you get to make for yourself - no matter which lifestyle you choose to live, you can find somewhere to fit that lifestyle in the US.
I'd say its diffiuclt for those only experiencing the roads from a motor vehicle to know what roads are like when youre that much closer, frequently you have to maneuver awkwardly, deeper into the road, if you want your bike to last longer than your current trip. Though I doubt that will change your mind and it certaintly doesnt excuse cyclists who ride dangerously or carelessly.

As someone who drives frequently and cycles everyday through London to work (and loves both activities) the perspective ive always shared is that cycling makes you see the worst in all other forms of transport. CYcling to to work there are days where I hate pedestrians, hate drivers and days where i definitely hate other cyclists. I've nearly struck careless pedestrians who were jaywalking looking at their phone and ive been struck by a car at a junction where i had right of way (and thankfully lived to tell the tale).

There are assholes in all camps, but I suspect its amplified dpeending on which activity youre engaged in

The article states:

>"Each server has a bonded pair of network interfaces, and those interfaces are shared between DPDK and Linux on GLB director servers."

What's the distinction between DPDK and Linux here? It wasn't clear to me why SR-IOV is needed in this design. Does DPGK need to "own" the entire NIC device is that? In other words using DPDK and regular kernel networking are mutually exclusive option on the NIC? Is that correct?
'The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering is a 2000 book by Norman G. Finkelstein, in which the author argues that the American Jewish establishment exploits the memory of the Nazi Holocaust for political and financial gain, as well as to further the interests of Israel.[1] According to Finkelstein, this "Holocaust industry" has corrupted Jewish culture and the authentic memory of the Holocaust.'

Done. In my day they were called "racers". I'm not au fait with the distinctions on modern types.
What would "everyone else" do with Git? It's a Rube Goldberg solution implementing a highly specific set of ways to do file versioning.

Most cloud storage providers offer rudimentary versioning; are you referring to the idea of promoting commits to being first-class? It would need to be baked into Word, Excel and similar, and those tools already have builtin version tracking, as horrible(?) as it is, so... :/

Once the first car is stopped, the others have no choice. All cyclists reaching the crossing can pass on red if they choose, so the comparison needs to take that into account.

> I really think you must learn french if you come to work in France. Even if your french is totally broken, the effort to speak french will be really appreciated.

This reminds me of the a story an American friend told me while visiting France. She was at this stand buying something, when the American tourist in front of her, asked the shopkeeper something in English, and the just responded back in French. Frustrated, the tourist left. When it was her turn, she tried to stammer something out in whatever French she could remember from high school. The shopkeep smiled, and then immediately switched into English to complete the transaction. ;)

I don't think OpenOffice is popular at all in the US. I don't think I've anyone that used it. Linux used to be popular with developers, but it seems like almost everyone has switched to macs. iOS is popular though.
> The fact that we’re incapable of building projects like this more affordably must be hurting our economy.

IMHO, that's the really interesting story.

In general, in the US, because of the structure of local politics, the bidding process, corporate and union expertise at larding public works projects, delays related to eminent domain disputes, etc these projects are far more expensive than they are in other countries -- even old Western European social democracies like France.

Ask HN: How to Find Part Time Remote Work Suitable for a Student
I'm currently a senior at Southern Illinois University, and am definitely going to need a job this semester. Local options aren't great, especially for someone without access to a car.

Remote work seems like the best way around this, but I have no idea where to even begin looking for companies hiring for this sort of thing.
I am not referring to the lack of null check. Just the fact that it uses `malloc(sizeof(*x))` instead of using `malloc(sizeof(Type))`.

You missed the point.

The test is about finding people who understand the nature of the work. It to sort out the bullshitters who will agree to anything and then deliver a terrible solution over 3 months late and over budget.

You can likely find examples in your everyday life. Pay attention next time you hear people talking about doing work. Who is the defeatist (it can't be done in 3 months), who is deluded (I can do that in a weekend), and who understands the right answer is somewhere in between (maybe we could do it if x)

Also, the library does come with a DOM implementation and most existing JS libraries work just fine.
Why would that be? You don't cast the result of malloc in C. It's wholly unnecessary, adds clutter to the code, and potentially hides an error if you forgot to include stdlib.h.

So why would that be "the preferred way"? I've been writing C for some time and no one who knows C casts the return value of malloc.
Ah :) Well, french and all that.
