Is there an easy way to do this iOS development on an Linux platform? I have a Macbook Retina from 2012 that's a pain to use because the battery will die unless plugged in, and they don't offer replacement batteries for my model.

My next option is to put MacOS on a VM in Arch Linux, but ideally I'd like an easier solution before I go down that route...
Probably just focused self-reflection
This was not an act of nature. It was the manager cutting the costs. 80 degrees is not a normal accepted indoor temperature. This is unusual punishment given the context and norms.

Expecting something different from a job outdoors or in a kitchen would, I agree, be a little ridiculous. The wage should of course be adjusted accordingly, but this is just disrespectful.

Middle of the road? Try $8.00/hr.

This is really interesting.

This is usually what people would do when using NoSQL database to reduce latency by caching elements with an in-memory database.

Basically they are mixing up Redis with RocksDB , which is what devs usually do to get even higher throughput by storing IDs in Redis to save a call to RocksDB.

Now what bother me is the look of repository , it looks completely rushed out.

No logo , unclear description of the tech...

Hence , as other mentioned it's just "an engine" , it doesn't actually contain the network layer, the clustering mechanism etc...

I guess it's probably the tech that is powering their flagship engine : "CosmosDB".
Losing an item is also a part of history. Should we have sent the British a bill for burning the White House back in 1812, and be demanding payment to this day, or was rebuilding it, and enshrining the history of its burning in our culture the better decision? I'd argue the later.

I guess my point is that the objects aren't the history. Ideally there would be a more open system to allow the study of older artifices, but in the end I think maintaining a link to the history is more important than possessing the actual object. Of course if that became the norm its likely at some point most objects would be repatriated over time anyway, excluding those where the location become historically relevant itself.
There were many ways to become slaves, and this section basically talks about what would happen if you were caught by the Roman military. In the provinces this was supposed to be very common, but not in the inner core of the empire.

As the wikipedia page explains in the early republic and before the last days of the republic most slaves were conquered slaves. However that supply dried up quite a while before the first emperor.

After that, most slaves in Rome were people that had sold themselves into slavery (or were sold by their parents) and by the time Rome was a real republic this had term limits, as well as rights, starting with the basic right to challenge their status in court. Over time, more rights were granted. Read on in the wikipedia article, it does talk about this.

> Over time, however, slaves gained increased legal protection, including the right to file complaints against their masters. Attitudes changed in part because of the influence among the educated elite of the Stoics, whose egalitarian views of humanity extended to slaves.

(this is not talking about the right to challenge their status, this is about filing complaints, eventually even against "cruel treatment" and so on)

From that same page, the "conclusion" if you will, the standing slaves had by the end of the empire.

> Several emperors began to grant more rights to slaves as the empire grew. Claudius announced that if a slave was abandoned by his master, he became free. Nero granted slaves the right to complain against their masters in a court. And under Antoninus Pius, a master who killed a slave without just cause could be tried for homicide.[71] Legal protection of slaves continued to grow as the empire expanded. It became common throughout the mid to late 2nd century CE to allow slaves to complain of cruel or unfair treatment by their owners.[72]

I am not saying Roman society was just by modern standards, it was not. I would mention though, especially in the east, but also in the west, it was far better than what was to follow. And, as the wikipedia article mentions, in Rome at least (and presumably in most large Roman cities) it was a better fate to be a slave than to be a free urban poor. To be a (voluntary - not a convicted) "public" slave came with pretty good social standing.

The section about Asclepius mentions a few of the horrible things Rome did to slaves, especially earlier in the republic.
You wouldn't - first and foremost, this is probably most useful as a storage layer for some more higher-level data store.

Second, think of software artifacts from papers as a proof of concept, or a prototype. It's intended more to demonstrate some architectural innovation, and less to serve customer needs. Their ideas revolve around supporting a high level of concurrent access and removing the locking overhead that would normally stem from this, and an interesting way to handle spilling over to disk in larger-than-memory scenarios. This might evolve into a customer-oriented product eventually. Or perhaps get retrofitted into the guts of something like MS SQL server.

Since when was “cashier” a manual labor position? “Stocking staff” might be, and is consistently paid a higher wage because of that. These people are hired as cashiers. The “additional job duties” are where the manual labor comes in.

We are literally talking $8.00/hr. before taxes. This looks inhumane to me.

In the digital age, much of “journalism” is just an unnecessary obfuscation layer easily abused by powerful actors. Dumping the source documents provided by whistleblowers is preferable to withholding them from public gaze and printing a story.

True you make good points.

I still think you should write something about your incarceration though on your blog. Your whole blog just seems to entirely ignore it. I think it would be best to directly address the concerns potential employers and prospects might have on things they find in a google search. You would probably get more prospects sympathsizing to your situation. It might seem like a downer, but the downer stories shows you've learned from your past mistake as well. That you can accept criticism thrown your way and openly accept events that transpired in your life good or bad. This can only be seen as a positive trait about you.

Dont let people draw assumptions about you, let your stories speak for themselves.

I wish you the best on your journey. You dont have it easy but im sure you will figure something out
> since the drug has been outlawed, all you have left are anecdotes

That's what I meant: apologies if my wording led you to read me differently.
> You're the only person who is talking about being best friends with your coworkers. I'm talking about having a working relationship with people which means being able to communicate with people. There is lots of gray area between being best friends and wanting to keep work and personal life separate.

Christ, you literally compared it to your relationship with your partner, forgive me if I'm just following your argument.

> I literally don't care. All I care is that you can communicate in some way. Saying "sorry I'd rather not discuss that" is fine. Saying "Why do you want to know about my hobbies, you're just going to use what I tell you to confirm your biases and not hire me" is antagonistic and makes me wonder "how are they going to react when I sit beside them".

Being an interview candidate who is under the microscope and being a coworker are two completely different experiences, and my relationship to you as a candidate will be extremely different than as a coworker. The communication I'm provided as a candidate is usually not frank and honest. I often won't even get feedback because companies are afraid of being sued, so the process is often a total black box. If we're drawing the analogy between an actual working relationship and the experience of an interview, everything about the latter is artificial because I need to work to live and am generally willing to jump through whatever hoops you need me to. Meanwhile you are going to conceal your actual thoughts until you have to make a yes/no decision about if I'll have to worry about not getting a paycheck at the end of the month to pay rent.

This entire experience is a lie. I get that there are difficult, arrogant people out there, but stop prying into the lives of your candidates to try to suss those out and have a little empathy for people in this experience.

> that's awful, I'm sorry that happened to you.

Look in the scheme of things my grievances are minor, tech has a much larger problem w/ racism, misogyny, transphobia, etc. and those biases are much more prevalent in interviews. I want tech workers to have some recognition of their position within the structure of society as workers with relative privilege who could make their jobs easily accessible for anyone instead of nickel and diming candidates over bullshit. Start seeing yourself as an actual worker with compatible interests to other workers and not as a gatekeeper or emissary for your boss.
It's not really funny accounting when dollars is a relatively normal unit of measure. It's that if you choose to measure in dollars output is high, but if you were to measure in terms of pounds or cubic volume it's dropped.
I integrated it in a top-100 app in the app store in less than a day and it works perfectly for us.

If you don't know the iOS or Android build chains I would imagine that its confusing and troublesome, but unless you are doing some fairly extensive native compatibility stuff you will reap great efficiency benefits from adding it to an existing app.
Think about searching logs. You could keep an inverted index, or just brute-force-search through raw log files.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m getting sick of your walls of text that skirt the truth or outright lie, and never pay off with citations. You’re replying to someone who pretty much said the same and asked for citations, and you offered nothing. The time of put up or shut up has arrived. Life was brutal and fatal for many slaves, and you just ignored that. You compared peostitutes to slaves who were sold for sex, while ignoring that torture and summary execution were their alternatives.

Come on, stop bullshitting.
It would be safer to fork before the segfault, to preclude other less obvious memory errors.
I agree. However, I also realise that in being the 'face' of these things that he is truly just that: a mere face, a phantom, an archetype in the collective psyche. Behind all this is a flawed human (like the rest of us) who is trying to reconcile his place as the eco-ubermensch and regular family guy.

I actually didn't feel at all disappointed by the tweet. I feel disappointed by people's lack of concern for a guy who's fighting the good fight who is clearly going through something awful.
This is incorrect:

"is in the context of WAR which is what we're talking about"

From the context, you mean Wins Above Replacement, and the point of my original comment is that this technique should not be applied to war. It gives distorted results.

As I pointed out, Hannibal's record would end up getting under-weighted, if you only look at wins. In war, it matters how much you win by.

Another example, Germany would have had (even more) difficulty fighting a two front war, in World War I, if the Battle of Tannenberg had been less decisive. Merely winning that battle, by a small margin, would have meant a much faster German loss of the war.

There are at least 2 recent Atom NUC's. They do use the "Celeron" branding, which is a little confusing because there are both Core-based Celerons and Atom-based Celerons. But these two are Atom:

> They then tested against only different configurations of themselves for configurations that hit disk.

In the case of Redis, AFAIK it can't support larger than memory use cases, right? And in fact they do compare to RocksDB for larger-than-memory, see Fig 10. Granted, it could be more detailed, but I think it makes their point.
Societal bias. "Homosexuality" and "heterosexuality" are, mostly, modern inventions. The line between "normal" and "deviant" behavior as regards relationships between the same sex has varied drastically over time and between cultures. In antiquity, such a distinction didn't even exist in many cases, and it wasn't that long ago that men kissing one another was considered perfectly in line with what we would now classify "heterosexual" behavior.

what means of production even are there in hippie communes? how can you compare a tiny circle of friends with an economic system? all their goods resources and infrastructure is produced and distributed through a market economy. they are just an actor on that market. and what makes you think that these communities work? do you know how. many just break up after a few months? how many work for more than 5 years, a decade or even are multi generational. anecdotally from West Europeans who tried that, it always ended in disasters, people abuse it and these groups break up, split or the people just give up.
I used to lucid dream all the time as a kid, it just happened naturally, and never left me tired. It mostly stopped and in my 20s I tried some exercises to induce lucid dreams. My experience was like a restless night of sleep after studying late for a big test the next morning. Because, there was something I was supposed to be remembering, instead of just sleeping soundly.

So I think lucid dreaming is not necessarily a problem in itself but forcefully training yourself to do it can be rough going.
At the end of Mickens' talk he suggests putting black box devices behind smart firewalls and routers. I'd say that's the equivalent role of doctors.

That is, the trifecta of bad decisions is black box functionality connected to an internet of hate (or unfiltered/tested input data) and given levers of power in society. Take away any one of those 3 and you're probably ok.
"up to 160 million operations per second"

Read operations? Write operations? Per core, or using N cores?

For the case of one core at 3GHz, it would mean 20 CPU cycles per operation, which is barely enough for storing the data in the RAM for a log write. If using more than one core, e.g. one for writing the log, and others for updating the actual data structures, could imply much longer times for completing one operation, despite doing 160M per second on average: in that case it would not their "faster" would mean scalable rather than faster.
I’ve worked some spectacularly shitty minimum wage jobs in my life, and never came close to the conditions of a Dollar Store. Being asked to come off the register and restock is normal, but the rest just sounds cruel and weird. 80 degrees indoors is also messed up, not just for staff, but for customers. Given how poor air circulation is in a lot of those places, it must get really stuffy and grotesque too. Then the pay is abysmal.

Almost any job would be better, including being a cashier at a competing store that at least pretends not to hate you. Working in hot weather or bad conditions is acceptable only if you’re being paid well enough to make it worthwhile. $8 an hour before taxes? You can make more doing almost anything else, including McDonalds or begging on a corner, and neither of those things sound like they’d be any more dignity-destroying than what’s been described here.

Have you tried Expo? It allows you to develop directly on your iPhone, with the development server happily running on Windows or Linux.

The easiest way to try it is at https://snack.expo.io/ , which is an in-browser dev environment for React Native. All you need is the Expo app on your iPhone or Android.

Disclaimer: Expo supports my work on React Navigation, the JS navigation framework for React Native. But I would recommend them regardless!
Ask HN: How do you donate your skills?
I'm especially interested in how engineers donate their skills, time, and talents. I've been thinking of how to donate my skillset to a good cause that isn't necessarily just an open source project.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Can I ask how you found your sleep paralysis encounters? (for want of a better word).

Personally I've found them deeply disturbing. Throughout my life I have experienced moments of sleep paralysis at most on 10 occasions. They've left a big impact though, and I sympathize with anyone who has the misfortune of feeling as though you are trapped and unable to move.

After watching the film "Waking life" I spent a long time thinking about lucid dreaming and perhaps maybe had 1 or 2 myself. I had never connected the two however, definitely food for thought.

I was looking for something similar to click / fire that uses type annotations to validate/cast the inputs today. Came across this https://github.com/Lucretiel/autocommand

I think it would be really nice to have a library that takes the type annotated functions and lets you expose them as a CLI, GUI, REST API and a web form. Practically just combining click, flask, rest framework and Gooey. Would be a great tool for data scientists.

Take something like

def recognize(image: Image) -> List[Prediction]
preds = model(image)
return preds

and generate web page that lets you drop an image in and get a list of predictions
