Keep in mind that "flagging" is not handled by a small core set of moderators. The ability to 'flag' a story is granted to anyone with more than X karma (right now I can't find any reference giving the exact X value).

So whether a story is flagged is based on exactly which random users happen to see it when it gets posted. If you get one random set, they may be more likely to flag it, if you get a different random set, they may be more likely to not flag it.

So there's no way to answer the question "buy why did that other story not get flagged" because the reason why is:

it depends on exactly which random sub-group of users with 'flag rights' saw the story when it was first posted.

Emphasis on the "reasonably focused on one domain" part - it's when you're passing through your entire program state in one gigantic state object that things get messy.

Also, I've been led to believe that design of constrained / embedded systems follow different rules. Your code can be unreadably complex if you have to squeeze out that extra performance (however, even then, it should probably be well-commented or well-documented), and generally (though not alway) such programs will be smaller and made by smaller teams.

It's when these kind of practices are applied in enterprise software with large number of programmers, where maintainability is more important than performance, that this is an issue.
You probably already know the answer. There is certainly a liberal bias in the readership and that bias in naturally reflected in what is flagged.
Ask HN: How and where do you search for part-time jobs?
(non-native english speaker here)

I was wondering if some of you had tips on how to find a part-time jobs in a new company.

Do you look specifically at startups? Fortune 500?

Do you use specific websites?

I'm asking this because I want to spend less time at work (I had severe health problems this year) but my company would only accept to increase the number of hours I does, not decrease it. So I want to get the job as part-time in a new company, and not by updating my current contract.

Thanks!
"Only non-profit healthcare services allowed."

Not sure if this is required - the UK manages to have a socialist health care system (the NHS) for the vast majority and a relatively small private healthcare system for those who want treatments not covered by the NHS, or a nicer room etc.

I'm not sure I'd be happy with completely banning access to private healthcare - although I'd prefer it if the NHS was resourced to a level where there really wasn't much need to to go private (which certainly used to be the case).
It would be neat if one could have both worlds: have a phone which normally runs FLOSS, but if one needs Google things, it can spin up all the services required, and launch the app needed. And when one is finished with that app, press Quit to terminate all the Google services.

It seems phones are now powerful enough that even virtual machines should be possible...

Also it says it's more common for women (to turn to food for stress), whereas men turn to alcohol and smoking and such, which would also not be explained by an primitive innate response.

I had lunch with Peter around the time he updated this article. I had written two Lisp books for Springer-Verlag about 5-6 years before. I was still using Lisp but I think he had more or less switched to Python although he did write a nice Scheme system in Java around that time.

When it comes to notes in meetings or daily notes/to do lists, I use a notebook. The only "organization" is the date at the top. When it comes to taking notes in lectures or conference talks, I use a text editor on my laptop.

I usually write down _a lot_ of stuff when listening to conference talks in person. Then I go through the notes in detail and compile them into a blog post that hopefully makes sense, which also forces me to organize the notes and review what I'd learned. Because of the sheer volume of text and the need to keep up with the talk I use a laptop for this, typing being much faster than my writing.

For meetings or other more relaxed occasions where I have more time and less volume, I just jot stuff down on paper. Aside from marking everything by day I don't really have a system there.
I write down notes in diary form through Notes on macOS.

The most blatant English error I noted in Abba lyrics is saying ‘funny’ when they mean ‘fun’. This happens twice: “Must be funny in the rich man's world” and “You can dance with me honey, If you think it's funny”. There are at least a couple of words in Swedish (‘roligt’, ‘kul’) that can are used both meaning fun/pleasant/enjoyable and funny/amusing/hilarious, so Swedes sometimes confuse them.

This would be helpful if it were 1994 and there was lots of what economists call asymmetric information, but now you can price-check a company's offer in seconds.

Besides, companies can also easily see what the going rate is and normalize their budgets accordingly. I recently went through the job search process and almost all companies offered similar rates.

If you're north of 100K (and I assume most experienced software engineers are) realistically 10-20K more will not make a significant impact on your quality of life. We're talking an extra $500-1K a month. Nice, but doesn't exactly catapult you into the 1%.

As long as your salary is in a competitive range it's more important to focus on finding the right fit of industry, company, people and projects. Wouldn't over-weight salary negotiations, especially in a day where both employers and job-seekers can quickly ascertain market rates.
We already do this it's called dreaming.

Ditto. I’ll never buy another HP product. They are now the purveyors of garbage computers and printers. The mid 90’s printers, scanners, and Apollo workstations were the pinnacle of quality. The 85xx line of test equipment was even beyond that. I don’t think something like those would even be attempted now.

The true HP is Keysight, though they have quality issues now.

The experiment attempted to show what mechanisms cause abuse like Abu Ghraib to happen. The theory was that the power disparity in a prison in itself lead to abuse and not individual personality traits of the abusers. This apparently have not been proven. Other explanations are possible. For example that it was actually deliberate policy to abuse prisoners and that the guards sympathized with this policy.

As for the Nazi concentration camps it is important to realize that not everyone were treated equally bad. For example prisoners of war from USSR where treated much worse then prisoners from the western allies. This cannot be explained the Zimbardos theory, but can be explained by deliberate policy and Nazi ideology.
ThreadPoolExecutor and ProcessPoolExecutor were exactly what I was waiting for someone to mention. I was doing some Python as a systems architect at my previous position and now as a full time data scientist, my life has pretty much been consumed by Python. Unsurprisingly, a lot of my initial work is retrieving and cleaning very large volumes of data, the later usually being I/O bound and the former being CPU bound and frankly myself and a lot of my team immediately default to using both ThreadPoolExecutor and ProcessPoolExecutor respectively, because of how simple and performant they are. Perhaps asyncio is more familiar terminology to people coming from Web Dev, so that's why they're gravitating towards it, but there are few times when I find myself needing that particular tooling outside of Web Dev anyways.

Bluetooth Speaker Test: Which box fits you?
> talk [about Cython]

That was interesting, thanks!

I really wish he had shown his numpy code. He said at 13:46 "Numpy actually doesn't help you at all because the calculation is still getting done at the Python level". But his function could be vectorised with numpy using functions like numpy.maximum or numpy.where, in which case the main loop will be in C not Python. I can't figure out from what he said whether his numpy code did that or not.

But either way, it's interesting that in this case the numpy version is arguably harder to write than the Cython version: rather than just adding a few bits of metadata (the types), you have to permute the whole control flow. If there's only a small amount of code you want to convert, I would still say it's better to use numpy though (if it actually is fast enough), because getting the build tools onto your computer for Cython can be a pain. And for some matrix computation there are speed inprovements above the fact that it's implemented in C e.g. matrix multiplication is faster than the naive O(n^3) version.

What you're describing is a web browser. Spin up/connect to a service, in a sandbox, and then get rid of the app when you're done.

Of course, many of Google's own apps are not particularly web or mobile friendly. It annoys me to no end that for all that Chrome/Android is pushing the progressive web, basically zero of Google's own apps utilize it. The progressive web does have some pretty serious shortcomings and problems, but for the most part, pretty much every major Google app (Google Music, Youtube, Maps, GMail) could be thrown out of the app store and replaced with a progressive web app with offline access, and everything would work fine.

It's not even like the current offline support for their native stuff is any better than a progressive web app's would be; Google Music will often bug out and remove access to downloaded music if it can't find an Internet connection. Youtube Red loses and corrupts downloaded videos almost like it's on a schedule. A web cache would be just as reliable as whatever they're using now.

As far as I'm concerned, there's zero technical reason why we couldn't have this right now.
A lot of people seem to dislike Zed Shaw's books, but I think the book and the accompanying videos were great. It was less to do with the content, and more to do with the forced approach towards typing out every exercise, embracing failure, and working through.

My only gripe with the content is that it focuses on the initial learning of a language. Once I finished LPTHW I felt that I knew enough to do some basic dev, but nowhere near enough to feel productive in a professional setting. I know there's LMPTHW, but it'd be nice to see Zed Shaw cover more intermediate subjects - something like Cracking The Coding Interview in the style of his Learn The Hard way series.

> In the lab, the microbial battery produced a maximum power of 4 µW/cm2 and current density of 26 µA/cm2, which Choi says are “significantly higher” than previous paper-based microbial batteries. Even so, the power performance is “very low,” limiting their application, at least for now. To be viable for commercial use, the power/current density must be improved by a factor of around 1,000, Choi says.
