Mirrors my experience. I'm a bit surprised that after years of the cygwin experience, Microsoft hasn't come up with a more elegant solution to incompatible filepaths issues. Having said that, it's good WSL works as well as it does.

I'm also a bit surprised at the lack of good Windows software in some spheres - eg. there isn't a really good mail client (the built-in UWP one is a feeble toy). I slightly shamefully gave up and started forwarding my domain email to a gmail account.
I ride myself. But having one that could transition into using a bike lane would be even better. I hope if automatic cars ever work, then requirements for getting a drivers license can be dramatically increased and riding a motorcycle won't seem dangerous to the general populaton.
No, that is not opinion. It's payed lobby masquerading as opinion. For anyone who is up-to-date with the tense political and social situation in Romania, that article is a tendentious, vile manipulation, at a time when many Romanians look to the west for support in the fight against corruption.

Come on man, what did you expect. For goldiggers to be good people or smth ? I just asked the dude a question, if he thought of optimizing this thing (we programmers no?).

Regarding my comments:

But sometimes the world is nasty and we can't self-censor.
I'd say even seam-carving removal+addition could probably do a lot of the same without the complexity of even that algorithm (much less an AI).

>Public employees have thought strategically about retirement

Public sector employees have unions, which thought strategically about retirement. Tech workers don't, by and large, because we are too smart to fall for the union meme and will all retire early by virtue of our elite skills, not some kind of sinecure.

Blue collar private industry workers once had solid pension plans as well, which died along with union membership. The reason that public sector unions survive is because their membership is paid by property taxes, and don't directly affect a corporate bottom line. The likes of the firefighter and police unions are also protected by the general "patriotism" umbrella, even the most conservative anti-labor constituency will avoid criticizing public safety workers.

On iOS there's a healthy selection of standalone apps I'd say, most of them offer support to sync with paid or self-hosted online services (If they support the Fever API). My current combination is a self-hosted Miniflux instance and Reeder on iOS and macOS as clients.

I wrote a little bit about it here: https://blog.notmyhostna.me/sad-state-of-rss-on-the-mac/ and there's a good discussion with other readers here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17577442)
It seems unlikely that that could be the case: that Macs, which have massive market share in the kinds of places that attackers would want to compromise, have the least hardening and also aren't attacked very often.

Can you clarify which other OSes you'd consider to be more hardened?

Because it's the reference point I know best. It would be silly of me to compare it to microbiology or the internals of Travis, both of which I'm much less familiar with than Concourse.

It's nowhere near as popular as Jenkins, by at least 2 orders of magnitude, maybe 3. If that is important to you, wait a bit.

Case in point - the bankruptcy of Westinghouse. Caused by economics not environmentalists.
As others have mentioned already, “toxic” is an extremely poor word around which to mobilize any large-scale efforts. Seldom is it defined and, on the rare occasion when it is, definitions vary greatly.

At this point I think it’s fair to call it a shibboleth of the particularly out-to-lunch brand of intersectional feminism / social constructionism which makes platforms like Twitter and Spectrum such... uh, delightful conversational spaces.

Fly does substitutions, but that's it: no loops, no if-thens. It's almost certain that something can be tickled into being Turing-complete; it's actually devilishly difficult to avoid doing it by accident. My hunch is pipelines are Turing complete, but I haven't gotten around to proving it.

But there's a difference between trying not to introduce it and going out of your way to build a programming language in YAML. An actual, honest-to-god programmable YAML.
It’s amazing to me that people look at an online community such as twitter and then determine if it’s toxic or not based on observed behaviors. They’re just people. People are toxic on twitter. Twitter is not toxic. Twitter is exactly the way that people who use it want it to be.

How do you expect to change twitter without changing people? It’s an exercise in futility. You can regulate it for eternity and it will still reflect the people who use and engage in the site.

What clickbait nonsense. Do people really believe this? Are people this naive?

He was raised by humans at least to the age of 7. Then he was "abandoned" and he lived by "himself" in heavily populated spain? A few miles from cordoba, madrid and other spanish cities? He wasn't raised by wolves. He lived near wolves. Using this logic, everyone in spain was "raised by wolves".

Aren't journalists supposed to be skeptical? Aren't extraordinary claims supposed to demand extraordinary evidence?

This article is on par with history channel's aliens built pyramids.

I walked through central park when I was younger. I guess that means I was raised by squirrels.

Portico Pay | San Francisco, CA | Onsite

We raised money from General Catalyst and the Ex-CTO of Dropbox recently and have our first pilot customers. We're looking for a first full-time employee to join our team in South Park, San Francisco!

Portico’s mission is to enable newsrooms and publishers to optimize revenue. The journalism industry is undergoing a rapid transformation. Revenues are declining, newsrooms are shrinking, and the industry is consolidating; but readers haven’t stopped reading — their habits have just changed. Portico is building software and partnering with publishers to change their trajectory and unlock the value they deserve. Our products, Test, Tailor, and Pay, can be implemented with no IT support in many cases and our white glove service augments the tech and analytics capabilities of publishers. Together, our software and service help publishers quickly A/B test and iterate (Test), customize different experiences for different readers (Tailor), and accept more payment types frictionlessly (Pay). We’re vehement optimists that believe the news industry can adapt and thrive online with new tools, consulting, and revenue models — and we are building a company that we hope will be instrumental in that journey.

Quantum weirdness in 'chicken or egg' paradox
I want to live in a walkable place where I can ride my bike without dying. I also want the same for my kid.

Right now, in the US, that means cities. That's _it_. And even then, most cities are horrible places to cycle.

But it doesn't have to be that way. I'd love to walk or cycle around Houten (NL, pop ~45,000 and built for walking and cycling from the beginning), or perhaps Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber in the old town centre (Germany, pop 10,000 for the town as a whole, smaller within the medieval walls of course).

I just can't think of any place built since the rise of the car which is not a city, and pleasant to walk in, aside from some very small communities like ecovillages (which are nice but not going to be self contained) - https://ecovillage.org/ . Even towns in the US that like to think of themselves as fitting this tend to be fantastically expensive and still very car dependent (San Luis Obispo comes to mind)
Some scientists, perhaps. But it sure sounds to me like a "no true friend" argument. [1]

Of course one could define "friendship" in a way that only human friendship qualifies, but that is certainly not the common definition.

We have three dogs and three cats, and every day I see behavior and interactions among them that I can only describe as friendship. Yes, between the cats and the dogs too. I think anyone watching them would call them friends, at least by any everyday meaning of the word. [2]

Scientists don't get to redefine a word that means something else in common discourse. That's not how language works. Next thing you know, they will say Pluto is not a planet!

Oops, they did, some scientists anyway. But not the science team that sent New Horizons there and brought back better pictures and more information than we ever had before. They call it a planet. [3]

I challenge the notion that there can be any net-positive effect from deliberately misleading the public and insulting people's intelligence. As word spreads that people are being actively deceived, overall trust in the system is eroded. These placebo buttons are a fraud and should be removed.
> ...defensive technology always lags offensive technolog

Because the best defense is a good offense.
I love this. But go ahead and have a look at the "Who's hiring" post and you'd be correct to think that investing in languages like Clojure does limit your career choices.

It's depressing I know. I will always write my personal projects in Clojure but it's a shame that I can't rely on it as the primary means of making a living.
Desktop Linux is not exempt from security compromising mistakes either. There’s been plenty of equally bad ones, like pressing backspace 28 times to bypass Grub.
Wheeler’s delayed choice excitement is referred to as a thought expirement both by the physicists in the article as well as the first line in its Wikipedia entry. Like Einstein, he worked through many thought excitements that suggested an outcome, but couldn’t be tested at the time. However, many of Einstein’s proposed experiments that have since been observed are still referred to as his thought expiriments.

We may be saying the same thing, but worth making the distinction.

For the other poster (diggsey), it will be difficult to answer your question about the novelty of these newly run expiriments without a full read of the article.
That's a super fair question. Depending on the image, Deep Angel can produce a quite plausible background but sometimes it just fills in the object with a "gray blob." The gray blob issue can arise from (1) the object is too big relative to the rest of the image. For example, consider an image in which 67% of it is made up by the object that you wish to remove. In this case, DeepFill doesn't have enough context to fill in the pixels in a plausible manner. (2) the object is on the side of the image. The further skewed the object is from the center, the less information DeepFill has to plausibly inpaint. (3) the training data is quite different from the test data.

The gray blob is a collapse of the pixels to the mean of the colors and textures around the removed portion of the photo.

The AI isn't yet perfect, and as you use the AI, you'll start to see which kind of photographs work really well and which do not.
It seems to vary by city in the US.

I've been places where it seems to do nothing. I've been places where it starts a signal change. I've been places where it enables accessibility features, as described in the article. And I've been places where it does absolutely nothing to alter the light's timing, but it does control whether the pedestrian light will turn white or not.

The last of these is my least favorite, because it seems to engender the most confusion.
Is the word 'toxicity' a dog whistle to anyone else? Unless a chemist says it.
> Honestly I don't understand this about "making a version of Jenkins that runs well on Kubernetes" – this is the _only way_ I have ever run Jenkins, and I think it runs already extraordinarily well for our purposes.

I think the idea is not that Jenkins runs on Kubernetes, which as you note can already be done. It's rather that Jenkins uses Kubernetes as a replacement for the worker infrastructure.

Tamber | First Hire, ML Engineer | San Francisco / Remote Ok | https://tamber.com

Love deep learning? Want to experiment with your so-crazy-it-just-might-work ideas and ship code? Come be our first hire (potentially a cofounder) and help build head-scratchingly accurate recommender systems for the masses.

Tamber is enabling developers to put 10x better personalization into their apps just by tracking user actions (in the same way they already do for analytics services like Segment and MixPanel). We are growing fast with awesome customers (TBA but roster includes some YC companies), and just raised a round of funding from some of the best angels in SF (a couple are listed on our AngelList profile).

We are looking for someone who knows a bunch about ANNs and TensorFlow, something about recommender systems and Golang, and a ton about writing good code and shipping it. You should also be interested in building a company – or at least intellectually curious.

Resumes are good, but what we really want to see is hard evidence that you are going to be exceptional on our team. Github repos, competition rankings, and anything cool you have built, in whatever form it takes.

We're in San Francisco and we would like for you to be here too. We can be flexible for the right person, however.

I'm not sure I understand the logic of that when it's a hotel room, but in an office environment it's fair enough. As long as the maintained temperature sticks to what we understand as a typical room temp (21-23°C).

What makes me think that is the attitude to weather in the UK, where the polarity shifts as soon as summer transitions to winter and vice versa. As in, thermostats in most UK shops and pubs and bars in the summer are set to levels of cold you would only begin to experience as November approaches; they're practically icy and an amazing example of desert conditions when night falls.

But then winter approaches and everything is fired up to the point where you're practically sweating if you're wearing full on winter wear. The total lack of humidity prevents the sweating but the heat goes beyond cosy.

I hate this, so my idea of getting a comfortable temperature doesn't align with the normal situation. But if I was to change it to suit my needs then that would have a negative affect on everybody who justified the need to freeze their ass off every time they walk into a shop when the sun takes its hat off.

So when it comes to local climate control, it's practically impossible to please anybody. You can't give one person the power satisfy their taste at the expense of everybody else, that's why air conditioning fucking sucks. The best you can do is maintain a comfortable average, remove or restrict the thermostats, and provide other solutions that allow comfort without changing it for all.
I don't see where that expression brings in anything blurry. It just says that it is old thing. Transnational sex is kind of new concept, I dont think all cultures cared about difference in these terms. Marriage was transactional to large degree and ok, true love out of marriage was bad.

> Especially in horrific pre-historical survival scenarios. Hence the saying.

Prostitution and rape are not the same, really. Prostitution or sex for survival happened much more lately (Victorian era, any time with lack of resources, any time with lack of men, wars, world wars).

Thanks.

I mean, moderation policies, tools to change signal to noise ratio, reward incentives for certain types of behaviours, and community mores all affect the observed level of toxicity.
