I'm not sure we read something as much as we develop a shared mental model and associated new language with another human. Most of the time these models are just slightly different from before, so the change is so subtle as to be invisible. We have the appearance of a universal language called, say, "English". We don't actually have one. It's close enough.

If you take a look around, printed words don't exist in most languages. Most languages are spoken. Printing is an extremely new thing we've only had for a very short amount of time. The only thing print can do is present a stilted, over-formal version of what listening to a monotone person give a speech in a dark room might be like. That's good enough for most cases, since the brain makes stuff up it needs. But I don't think it's language, at least not in the same way real spoken languages are language. Real languages are a messy and confusing affair, even more than printed words can be. The way it works is through the interaction over time, not over definitions. (Something something language games)

I wish the guys luck. I'm not so sure we understand the problem yet. We may end up creating a machine that makes up answers to our questions after reading such that it sounds like a real person is doing the work. That's cool -- but it'd be a horrible disaster for humanity if something like that started being the primary interaction point with people. Over time it would make us a horribly stupid and unimaginative species. Like everything else in tech, we have good intentions and endless optimism. We're going to solve a problem whether we understand what it is or not, dang it. plus ça change... (And no, I don't think giving up the idea is any good. I'm just encouraging more understanding of the real goal versus the apparent goal)
Well, the cow is a tad worse off than before...

I have moved to France, and as a spanish speaker with "te amo" " te quiero" y "Me gustas (I like you)" I find french lacking some words.

I don't think Je t'aime bien its the same as Me gustas
and definitely je t'adore doesn't convey the same emotions as te quiero
We all know that diversity drives positive economic outcomes. India is by far the most diverse large country on the planet. That combined with her diaspora to the west and the consequent knowledge transfer, in addition to not being a major strategic rival to the USA, adds up to an extremely positive medium to long term outlook.

Yes there are major problems with corruption, it's true, but there are major problems with corruption in China and the USA for that matter. It's just in the USA the corruption is much more sophisticated and genteel. I mean this positively and I honestly believe Indian corruption is going to move toward the US model thanks to the large numbers of Indian nationals who have seen how much better that kind of corruption works. It's a classic case of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the less bad.
You cut both sentences midway through in full they read:

>Based on the job posting and the interaction of the CEO on twitter, I’m going to assume that this job pay six to nine times more than the average developer can make, because otherwise I can’t really figure out why anyone would work in such a place.

And,

>For this job posting, again based solely on the text and the CEO’s behavior, I’m assuming there is no such upside.

The first quote is a complete enclosed thought about how for such a large downside there must be a large upside. It sets up the rest of the article.

The second quote comes much later in the article after he's explored why he thinks the 60+ work week is such a bad thing and given examples of careers where it is prevalent and that in most cases come with an upside to balance it. He's returning to the starting assumption and coming to a conclusion for the article based on all the points he's made in it including that the behaviour of the CEO makes it unlikely in his opinion that the job really will pay the employee back for all they give up to work a 60+ hour week.

This isn't a contradiction you've just smashed together two sentence fragments without considering the context that led up to them.
Unless they've changed it recently, you can install anything you want on an Android phone. You just have to change a setting to allow apps from unknown sources. It takes a few seconds.

OK, but let's just think if being a union member worked for or against them when it came to MSFT?
That is not very practical, as you don't know how the future will turn out. If they start a startup and succeed they'll likely be happy about that decision. It's very hard to figure out expected outcomes for actions, and it's not very productive to think about worst-case (or best-case) outcomes.
JSON maps well and intuitively to common datatypes: with a list and a hashmap, you can model a lot. Conversely, structs needing to be passed around in application code will probably be made up of stuff that maps well to JSON. XML's greater-than-blindingly-obvious impedance mismatch is a barrier to entry when an alternative, dead simple format exists.

The XML ecosystem nonetheless has parts that are desirable for certain use-cases, as the reinvention of schema validation for JSON, awkward namespacing, and efforts to dabble in hypermedia linking show. The XML ecosystem didn't require these enhancements and extensions to be used, but implementations in the wild often did, which was further off-putting to newcomers. This helped JSON gain ground back when it (and the ecosystem around it) was truly minimal and simple.

It also embodied the hacker, kludgey ethos and mythos, because without elaborate schemas and code generators, you'd pluck out only the fields you cared about and disregard the rest.

These factors led to JSON's rise at an opportune time, giving it credence and exposure, and within a few years every hip cool API was emitting JSON and using cool methods like PUT and DELETE and throwing around terms like REST despite serving linkless structs as 'application/json'.

The prevalence and staying power of CRUD HTTP APIs exchanging loosely typed JSON payloads shows that there's real benefits to semi-human-readable, self-documenting payloads that can be parsed into either rigid native datatypes, or loose collection types with ease. JSON fits into a world where stuff can be deliberately or inadvertently half-assed and still work.
Not all unions, just some blue collar unions.
The american bar and american medical association are also de facto unions.

Lets call it a professional organization instead, and I think what most of us want is collaborative bargaining around IP(companies doesn't own your off hours) and non-competes.
It is again a workaround because <authors> is a member of a collection - it is not a tuple attribute. Which suggests that we cannot enforce this separation and an application has to understand itself which element is an object property and which element is a member of a collection.

Right. Because NYC is a magical fairytale-land of affordable rents.

Construction does not fix the fact that tourists pay 5-10x what local residents do for the same real estate. If you want to keep that from affecting rents, there's a very effective and inexpensive way to do it: don't let people turn rentals into hotels. Just like New York.
My father used to keep one (as a pet), she lived 13 years which is I believe rather exceptional, the average being around 8 year (range 6-10 years).
I absolutely agree. Sure if someone is young, try running your own startup and when that fails you can get a normal job. Everyone wants to claim they are an entrepreneur but that means you are a sales person. Your technical abilities don't mean much.
Pretty much wrong on all counts - doesn't sound like you know very much about groovy at all?
Which reminds me of the picture[1] on the cat-v.org section about XML.

What newbies? Users? Devs? Communities serve a purpose and are not for everyone.

On slack and Gitter they are often focused on work, on getting things done, so they really don't care about users or new developers and their problems which are unrelated to the project. And this is good, because everyone needs a channel where they can focus on getting things done.
The pressure of water at 3000 meters is 4268.33 PSI, and whales have been actually observed there. I don't see how sustaining 30% more pressure than they've been observed to do is an insane idea.

Submarines don't have the option of getting rid of all the air - the crew would die. Whales can exhale the air in their lungs before a dive, and the rest of their body is largely non-compressible water.

The very article you're citing even shows where your logic is failing:

> very significant because the Komsomolets had to "defend" a much larger air bubble against the encroaching pressure of the surrounding ocean

Whales have minimal or no "air bubble" to defend.

Detriment to her career path? Did you read the right article?

More like her lack of networking deterred her from getting the benefits of knowing people, benefits her peers can enjoy.
Hilarious, but the deeper rule is: when there isn't a concept of rendering a document to the user (where attributes hold rendering properties not directly presented to a user) the concept of a markup language doesn't make sense in the first place. So if you find yourself in a situation where you need to decide on encoding data as elements vs attributes, you probably shouldn't use SGML/XML at all.

But then there is the wealth of XML standard data representations for financial/fiscal/e-commerce, medical, etc. data. You're deciding to use them to have your interfaces being implemented once and for all, and be able to switch eg. payment providers by merely specifying new endpoints and credentials. JSON doesn't really compare to XML/XSD in this space.
Hi testb.

I really sorry to hear that.

What device are you on? What browser are you using?

We use webGL that uses your GPU but it should not crash...

If you let me know you device specs I will try and sort it out.

Thanks

Ok, so who’s pointing a gun at anyone’s head and saying you HAVE TO WORK at an Amazon fulfillment center?
This isn’t slavery, it’s free will. Slavery, at least in civilized countries, ended CENTURIES ago! I could delve deeper into the psychology that leads to feelings of entrapment, but I won’t.
As humans, we need to get over ourselves. Work is hard. Life is hard. But it can be rewarding too, so long as you stop playing the victim.
The speed has gotten better recently. It usually sends messages in under 1 second. The UI is still a little laggy when switching tabs but everything is slowly getting more polished and faster.
I grew up down the street from their original socal factory/store, been wearing rainbows for decades. I've got a ratty 12+ year old pair I wear to go surfing, a pair I bought in the last year that I can get away with wearing to work, and a couple other pairs in-between. If you get a chance check out the factory store in San Clemente, they've got pairs up on the walls with all sorts of super awesome stories.
So, a US based firm offering a spanish version of their website has to apply with GDPR because people from Spain could also visit?

Whats next? US firms targeting the American-Korean community in the US need to apply with laws made in Northkorea? :)
You could be right. The reason I said it was that as part of the pathway to becoming a senior hospital doctor (apart from moving a lot, working hard and studying for post-graduate exams) is the requirement to get stuff published. This makes a lot of doctors do research who aren't interested in a career in research. If that was me I'd be tempted to do something that was as easy as possible to get that box ticked.
Aren't they doing this before? They have recently knot their ties with each other right? This is not even a big news. It will be if USA joins them but on the other hand, they're both doing this to intimidate the states. It's an ongoing cold"ego"war among those superpowers.
The last thing I want in this world is to enter a channel full of people who like xkcd. It must be insufferable.
It's a bit trickier than that. "J'aime X" is translated to "I love X" if X is a person, but if X is something else, it becomes "I like X". If you really love chocolate, you have to use "J'adore le chocolat" or add some positive adverb to aimer, like "J'aime vraiment/énormément le chocolat".

Funnily enough, while "bien" is also positive word, it's indeed used to lessen the power of "aimer". That's the kind of stuff native speakers don't even notice but can confuse everyone else.
For me, Helm caused more problems than it solved. Pulling in packages always seems good, but as soon as you want customization, you're back to merging in the (relatively) straight-forward yaml files from the chart. Also, instead of Helm's templates (which get crazy complex and unintuitive), a simple tool like Kustomize[0] is very straight-forward and allows per-environment configuration. Finally, tiller pods do present (yet another) security risk for Kubernetes.

I only started using irc about 5 years ago but I have been using it daily since then and yeah the people on it aren't too bad. I have only really seen tech stuff on it recently, all the non tech irc channels I was in moved to discord :L
Discord. It was made mainly for games and it has exploded the last few years for pretty much about everything. I was introduced to Slack because the programming language I was using had its official channel there. They had also an irc channel but people were not willing to use it. Then I made a discord server mainly because I was using Discord for Unreal Engine , which has to this day the most active community there according to my experience. Without me realizing it the main dev of the language I was using abandoned Slack and used my Discord server. I made him admin and the rest of the community reluctantly followed cause being coders saw no point using a game orientated chat client but a year later not only the Slack server was almost completely abandoned but not one even mentioned Slack or IRC.
It is worth nothing that IRCv3 is a coup d'etat made by a closed coven of developers:

Most IRC clients are slowly developed or almost dead these days; the modus operandi of the IRCv3 developers is that they write patches for those IRC clients to support IRCv3 features and then push hard for the maintainers of those clients to merge them ("this is what the future of irc looks like! it's what the other clients are implementing! do you wanna be the only one not implementing it???")

They argue the development of their "standards" is open, but the truth is that nobody cares about it (most people are OK with IRC as it is now) so very few people contribute; they pretend that nobody complaining is a tacit agreement that everybody is OK with their changes, when that's far from the truth.
This is exactly what I do - I use Conversations and biboumi to idle in a bunch of channels for various projects I'm watching.

Thanks louiz! You do good work!

I usually use the trusty car comparison here. There's no point in starting a factory that builds 20-year old shitty Saturns. It's more reasonable to build great cars, and trust that the second-hand markets provide the necessary supply of extremely cheap beaters.

In the not-too-distant past, condos used to deprecate. Now their value goes up with each additional year of wear and tear!

I have found Matrix to be easier to interact with. You need a HTTP client instead of netcat but it's super simple to send JSON from a program or terminal.
Go to eventbrite.com, search (blank) your local area "today" and events are not in chronological order. I appreciate that they show the 'best' events first, but when I just want something to do, it kills me that such a simple search is not available.
For some reason my station never even offers Amazon gift cards during contests, it's usually Subway, Starbucks, Target, or occasionally a Visa prepaid card.

And I'm fairly certain most associates at my station aren't even aware they have an @amazon email address so they definitely aren't checking it. Nice to see another L1 around here.
Thanks - looks nice, especially as it's native. I'm using Fluid (fluidapp.com) to wrap Fastmail which also gives the ability to show notifications, show dock badge and handle mailto:. It also allows the use of custom CSS or JS which I find indispensable (see https://github.com/mdbraber/fastmail-customized). For shortcuts I use Keyboard Maestro w/ specific JS commands or URL triggers.
Interesting post and comments, as usual. I wanted to give some pragmatic information related to this.

I have a genetic condition that makes my mitochondria to malfunction. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago. At first, I started taking supplements to increase the production of ATP, but my "vitality" did not improve much. I could workout normally, but my recovery ability was poor, and from time to time I would just crash and burn for 2-3 days.

After much reading, I came to the conclusion that the problem was not a shortage of ATP. Rather, it was the mess created by all the workarounds my body was doing to maintain a level of ATP that could keep me alive. So, I started taking the following pre-bed stack. It is meant to be a clean-up the mess, anti-inflammatory:

- 2g Vitamin C

- 500 mg reduced glutathione

- 500 mg curcumin (I prefer BCM-95)

- 1-5 mg melatonin (depending on activity level)

- 100 mg CoQ10

(I am also considering adding Ashwagandha to the stack)

As of today, I workout 4-5 times per week, with 2 sessions of boxing (like punching in the face, not the aerobic variation), 1 heavy lifting session (usually squats) and 1-2 metabolic circuit sessions.

Sure I feel tired at times, but it is not liked the deep, extreme fatigue I felt before starting this stack.

Hope this helps.
Are you talking about freenode? I just joined #xkcd and it's 8 people and no topic set. 3 other users joined and immediately left, I guess those were from HN aswell.

"I tried to secure her a specialist appointment at Huashan Hospital, one of the best public hospitals in Shanghai, only to discover that they were full till the end of August. "

I am a little confused. Why is getting an appointment at the best hospital by the end of August not good? Take the appointment. See a competent doctor you can find now and then go to the best hospital for a second opinion.
I was never a fan of IRC although I am still a part time user since 1995. I was always annoyed losing replies just because I went offline and of course all the weird self disconnects and occasional banning bots. Sending files was also a big pain. But was simple to use and with tons of communities so I never actively complained about it. I converted to Discord and never looked back. On the other hand I was never deep into social activity online.
Could it also be the case that investments driven by speculation and market manipulation would obscure the actual ROI (a lá Uber)?

Long-term the intuition is "this must be profitable at some point", so the market participants are acting irrational in the short-term. No one can compete with irrational actors, especially ones with an insane amount of capital to burn like we see today.
10 times the distance to the Moon at an average speed of 0.1c takes about two minutes. So you would launch thousands of these crafts in the general direction of the target system and hope that at least one survives the micrometeorite onslaught and passes close enough to the target planet to snatch a few pictures. Or maybe even aero brake in the very thin heliosphere or gas giant upper atmosphere and enter a highly elliptical Centauri-centric orbit.

Or accidentally start an interstellar war.
You’re not wrong - certainly land is one of the long term investments - but I have a hard time saying land purchases from other humans is more or less “productive” than latte-purchases - for varying definitions of productivity of course. I also fully agree waste to curription, monopolies, violence, etc etc are real things, but again I’m not sure how to measure that between land and coffee (just to keep the mental experiment going).

If all land was owned by one evil monopoly, and it was slowly being sold, even at insane prices - is that not productive in the sense that land in the future is more distributed than land in the past? Certainly it seems to me to be at least as worthy as short term entertainment and luxury - particularly ecologicaly - but purely economically too?

Anyhow - you’re not wrong at all - investment in land is certainly one of the things being favored instead of coffee - but this seems exclusively like a value judgment to me (who is to say what the price of land ought to be but the owners of the land?)
