Obviously, I'm aware of chicken Caesars. But, first, a chicken Caesar contains grilled chicken, not fried chicken, and second, if you order a Caesar (not a chicken Caesar) and it comes with chicken on it, you can send it back.
Thank you, I like it a lot too. The nice thing about 'just' SQL is that I can write queries for the insights that I need, when I need them. I can store the queries for later use, I could automate some stats into my inbox, etc. With other tools you are just stuck with whatever they give you. The only thing I would like is an app where I can quickly get to my stats when I go around. Might be a fun side-project for the weekend.
Often the effort or cost to get out of a home mortgage or car loan makes you stuck by inertia.
> How is Google's AMP cache not stealing traffic from the origin site?

Traffic is a cost. Advertising impressions have value, and usually correlate to traffic, and analytics associated with the traffic has value, but AMP is designed to allow content owners to control and benefit from advertising, and recieve analytics, even though the content is served from a third-party cache (which Google isn't the only party operating.)

What is the operator of the original site losing aside from costs associated with serving traffic?
The net value of nearly all data is negative. It’s a liability not an asset. Unless you are actually selling data to customers or solving a specific problem that requires collection of specific data, it’s just wasting the company money. You would never hear a manufacturer say “ let’s stock pile aluminum in case we need it”. But that line of thinking comes up all the time with respect to data.
Start-Up Ideas: Why Niche Is Better Than Broad?
Working in kitchens when I was younger really put me off of mayonnaise and salad oil, especially cleaning the deep fryers. I used to mix up batches of ranch starting with 5 gallon buckets of "heavy duty" grade commercial mayonnaise. Large amounts of mayonnaise still make me wince a little...

When you work with these in industrial quantities, they inevitably ruin your clothes and insinuate themselves into your person.

There's nothing like coming home reeking of fryer smoke and mayo for a couple of months to make you want to trade the fries for a house salad -- vinaigrette on the side please.
This doesn't surprise me. I think most music – recorded sound – generally falls into one of two categories: either:

• it's actually about the music, not any particular "auditory experience", so technologies like ambisonics – or heck, even stereo for that matter – are perceived as gimmicky (akin to 3D TV), or

• it's about crafting a very particular auditory experience: audio is mixed in the studio so it matches exactly the artist's vision when played back to your two eardrums.

Especially the latter case I think is not served by ambisonics, because now the artist has no control over how the product is consumed. I can only imagine the difficulty involved in preparing a musical recording that sounds like quality art when the listener can – and is expected to – completely change the dynamics merely by tilting their neck. Sure you can deliver the "concert experience" but no-one goes to a concert for the ability to hear the music with their head cocked at a weird angle… so technologies like 3DIO I think already serve this purpose well.

The analogy I would put forth is a movie where the viewer can control the camera angle. (If I recall, this is actually a technology that exists to some degree, and has found application pretty much only in pornography.) Good cinematography carefully controls the viewer's attention and focus through use of set design, camera angles and focus. Once you let the viewer just look anywhere, set design becomes immensely more complicated, and the artist loses the creative control afforded by camera positioning.

Whereas, visual arts is exactly where I would expect ambisonics to find application. Visual arts is all about setting up exploratory experiences, which is impossible with traditional stereo audio recording and fixed video recording. With AR and ambisonics, now the art can exist digitally. I think ambisonics will find application in video game design too, for the same reason: now 3D soundscapes can be recorded, rather than simply synthesized.

Of course there are crossovers… I would be surprised if the ambient music crowd (think Music for Airports) does not take to ambisonics. I'm curious whether your experience differed between musical genres?

I'm seriously considering that on the next massive data breach of a public traded company I'm gonna buy some stock in the onset

Buy call options, that way if it doesn't go your way you're not out as much (in theory, anyway). Worked for me with Equifax and United Airlines, as two examples. Didn't work so well buying puts on Kodak when they announced crypto-whatever; market stayed irrational longer than the life of my contract.

Keeping in mind that the next Equifax might be the one that finally gets put against the wall.

Protected Class: The groups protected from the employment discrimination by law. These groups include men and women on the basis of sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps. Every U.S. citizen is a member of some protected class, and is entitled to the benefits of EEO law. However, the EEO laws were passed to correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members. [0]

[0] https://www.archives.gov/eeo/terminology.html

It's the term used to denote the groups protected by a number of different laws, the individual laws describe the classes specifically. This is all well established law and terminology, and anyone who takes part in any hiring process in the US should be versed in all of this.

You're being intentionally obtuse.
We may be talking past each other. I am on the research side of academic computing/informatics and have faced these struggles my whole career, encountering some very reluctant IT divisions.

We have had to bite the bullet and use colo facilities to self-host internet-facing deployments that the overhead-funded IT groups would not touch with a ten foot pole. From these experiences, I also acquired a more nuanced perspective on the IT division perspective and constraints, and how they derive from overall organizational policy and economics. We also had funny situations where we tried to help other PIs benefit from our new-found independence, and immediately regretted it. They did not understand what self-hosting means. I think anybody trying to toss integrations over the fence to an ops team needs to have an extended tour of duty trying to operate their own solutions in production WITHOUT assistance before they form bold opinions about operations constraints.

When there are strong time-to-market constraints (which includes publishing papers in academics), you are forced to find solution points that are different than if you are planning to run something for long periods at low overhead and low accumulative risk. These solution points also have to take into account the staffing and resources for that ongoing production.

Those things like bleeding edge libraries and assumption-breaking deployment constraints are the headache for ongoing operations and maintenance. It's not enough to have an existence proof that some complex integration can be built and passes its tests. You need a plan for how all the components will be maintained, patched, and upgraded. You need contingency planning when some of those bleeding edge components are going to become deprecated. You need to consider what staff capabilities are assigned to do that maintenance work or what will happen when the institutional knowledge used to form the original integration is not on-call to reintegrate it in the face of unexpected events.

}

test "std.ArrayList.basic" {
var bytes: [1024]u8 = undefined;

In summary, functions that can fail have an inferred error set, or an explicit one[2]. At the callsite of functions that can fail will either be `if`, `while`, `catch`, or `try`, in order to deal with the error case.

The job, no provable skills.

Sure.

For these large projects, I've noticed something else that I've been curious about: condo projects that sit as empty lots with "coming soon" banners around them, for years at a time before they begin construction.

What's up with that? My first guess: by the time the developer gets zoning approval, the contractor they've retained has taken other work, and now they're waiting in line.
Seriously, though, Caesar salad aside: there's a reason to make "creamy" (emulsified) dressings: most lettuce leaves are hydrophobic. If the only flavor you want is that of oil and salt, that's fine, but most of your culinary acid options are water-based. Getting flavors to stick to leaves is as tricky as getting them to stick to pasta --- meaning, deceptively tricky. "Thick" dressings were invented for a reason.
It seems unrealistic to try and get to 0 deaths on the road. Just with every other activity, there are risks that come with driving and I think people should be allowed to accept those risks, just like they do with any other somewhat dangerous activity. Are we going to introduce regulation to prevent people from doing other dangerous things like biking, or skiing?
Although I do agree that the percentage of people on the spectrum is higher in tech industry than in other industries, I think it's not higher than some 5-15%. When you ascribe to every introverted person being on the spectrum, you neglect the significance of it in people who really have it. It's like you're saying "yeah, we're all like this, so don't pretend you can't do this or that".
Part of Ticketmaster's purpose is to allow the artist, promoter and venue to charge extra but in a way that shifts blame to Ticketmaster. They are wildly successful in that, as evidenced by the number of people that bring up this exact point.

If you look at the fees, often there's a "venue fee" and other ones. They are different per event, but often are similar per tour and per venue... which means it's being set by artists, promoters and venues. It's trivial to show all-in pricing (some events have it turned on, so it's what you actually see on the main page). They don't do so on purpose.

What if a developer's machine was somehow compromised and the bad version of the file was put into the actual repo or deploy? I have no idea how likely this is or if it is a possibility in NewEgg's environment but that would be a case where only scanning for changes on the servers wouldn't catch.
A lot of rules are created and enforced under the premise of safety but my opinion is that the motives shift to profit rather quickly.

I think raising the barrier to get a driving license would be much more effective in reducing MVAs.

How about everyone that wants to buy a ticket enters a free lottery and at the end of the week, winners are randomly selected and they then get to buy tickets. Any unsold tickets are then made available to the general public after the winners had a chance to look.

This is how the London 2012 Olympics worked, and it meant you didn’t have to try be refreshing your browser like mad the minute the tickets were released.

Tangential: why is that statement in the article?
Do you think that focus is gone?

Obviously, this comes down to opinion, but honestly: yes. In the case of GitHub, the point where I reached that conclusion was when they added built-in enforcement of code review workflows. A feature which I seem to recall they copied more-or-less directly from GitLab...

Linux was already doing option 3 with their “code of conflict”. Now they’ve replaced one divisive code with another. I wish they’d try to reduce polarization, not pick a side in the culture war.
True. And I think that's more than adequate for your homebrew OS. (Which can just have a second stage if you really need to boot off of an encrypted RAID-5 partition connected to a custom storage controller.)
I went to Catholic school, but I was definitely taught to "omit needless words". I'll go ask if my kids were taught basic style in high school, but I'm guessing the answer is yes.
I once saw a price for a car listed on a dealer's website that was much lower than the car was worth. Turns out when it was entered into the system, it was entered as the base model instead of the upgraded version with more options. The dealer offered to sell it to me at the lower price anyways if I put a deposit down.
That’s a bit tangential. Even if you got them all exposed to our opinions, what does that do in terms of actionability? They would be in the same place. Change has to come from within.
A stock goes up when someone buys it and down when someone sells it. Valuations based on financial numbers work only if decisions to buy or sell are also based on that framework. In this case people are buying based on the felling that this is "the next big thing" without looking at the numbers. So, since people keep buying, the stock keeps going up. They will get slaughtered, but it will take time.
Bird wouldn't, but the point, generalized, is a good one.

People are quick to express frivolous concerns about pedestrians out of crosswalks, scooters on sidewalks, and cyclists ignoring stop signs, examples that are side-effects of a culture that privileges a transport option that kills and maims orders of magnitude more people every year.

Ask HN: How do you do lead gen for your SaaS or side project?
Distribution is hard. I think a thread like this could be a really useful resource for anyone trying to grow their SaaS or side project.

How do you do lead gen?

Hiring on Upwork? If so, who are your favorite contractors? What instructions do you send them? How many leads per week can you expect?

Scraping websites? What tools are you using?

Running lead-gen ads on Facebook? What tools are you using for landing pages, ad testing, etc?
Wow, I've never seen the box before! Good job saving it all these years. You probably should have gone through it before trying to power it all on... look for signs of arcing in the monitor... and yeah, replace blown/leaky caps everywhere... if not all of the good ones too.. And make sure the power is stable and clean before connecting it up/trying again.
The reviews are here https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs414...

The authors' final response to referee #2:

We thank the referee for the clarification of their earlier comment, which we indeed
misunderstood. It is of course correct that the observable of the measurement leading
to
z
does not commute with the one corresponding to the measurement of
w
. This
also means that the values
z
and
w
cannot be defined
simultaneously
(in the sense
of “at the same time”).
To explain how our argument avoids this problem, note first that the measurements
take place at different times (as pointed out in the reply above). Concretely,
z
is measured at time
n
:10 and
w
is measured at time
n
:30. Note also that, in all
statements we are using, we always explicitly specify the time at which a variable is
supposed to have a given value. Whenever we are talking about
z
, the corresponding
time lies (strictly) before
n
:30, whereas we only talk about what value
w
has at times
after
n
:30. We hence never need to assume that
z
and
w
are available at the same
time.
To clarify this in the manuscript, we have changed the labelling of all statements.
They now have a superscript which indicates at what time a statement has been
made by an agent.
I also find this methodology for paying engineers concerning.

It’s been a while since I last played with it, but I recall finding the results from gitlab’s publicly accessible regional salary calculator producing some pretty absurd results in the Bay Area.

I live 45 minutes from San Jose, and expect remuneration at levels commensurate with my title and experience for the Bay Area in general, as should anyone dealing with cost of living issues here. The gitlab calculator however thinks I should earn 35k less, which feels like a punishment for trying to live somewhere commutable that I can, you know, actually afford to buy a house large enough for a normal family.

If I live in commute range of the same location, why pay me 35 grand less? Should I apologise for my less desirable zip code?

It's a really nice feature introduced in SQL Server 2016. But does it offer backward compatibility with SQL Server 2008 and 2012? That's the most important question right now. Will Microsoft offer it in the product updates or a separate package that can be installed with the previous versions?
> Chicken Caesar salad is wildly popular in the US, and it's probably far more popular than original-style Caesar salad.

Chicken Caesar is, for fairly obvious reasons, far more popular than traditional Caesar as a standalone meal, but it's probably far less popular than traditional (or, at least, not featuring chunks of meat) Caesar overall.

I am not concerned with how I perceive mentally ill people. Mental illness touches different facets of my family in different ways. I am quite familiar with it, it’s challenges and it’s stigmas. I don’t look down on mentally ill people, because I love and am friends with many people who suffer from mental illness.

My objections are due to the societal biases that others hold against mentally ill people. My problem with calling Autism a mental illness is twofold. 1. It is factually and scientifically incorrect. Full stop. End of story. This should be enough for you, but whatever. 2. When you call Autism a mental illness you take a group of people who struggle and suffer and loop them in with another group of people that struggle suffer. Autism has enough social stigma attached to it already. When you apply more social stigma to it by attaching other labels to it, you are actively causing more harm than good.

It would be one thing to offend based on a factual argument, but you have neither facts nor a moral/ethical argument on your side. There is no reason for one to call Autism a mental illness other than a factual misunderstanding of Autism. To cling to that ignorance and claim superiority is both arrogant and egotistical. It lacks any semblance of empathy whatsoever.

As is usually the case the book is quite a bit better. The film is still solid, but it departs significantly from the original novel is ways that somewhat ruin it. The ending in particular moves away from the original source so much it's not possible for book 2 and 3 of the trilogy to be filmed as sequels. Not necessary a bad thing, but a good indication of how far from the original source it actually is.

For what it's worth book 1 is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I've actually read it 5 times and it caused me to start writing fiction again; the detail and style of the prose really take you in and the journey is quite interesting, different and unique in an almost meditative sort of way. Highly recommended.
But your mini-fab might be backdoored and create chips with backdoors.
Yeah thats interesting. There's a lot to think about with this film.

I grew up not liking to be photographed. It was a combination of being homely, but it was more? There's probally a deeper psychological reason? I got through college, and high school with only one picture of myself.

I've noticed when I'm out and about; I'm very aware of cameras. I'm aware of the shutterbug. Hell, I used to use that word in a endearing way?

Not anymore. I find myself judging people over the amount of pictures they snap daily. I know most of it's good natured.

I wouldn't be suprised to see the fear of being photographed in the DSM. It's probally already there?

As usual, I'm yacking as a semi-spoiled American. I should be commenting on the article.

This brief article did affected me. I know China is a Communist country. I just imagine the future, and it doesn't look rosy.

My hope is we (USA) pass more privacy laws.

My hope is one day the person who pulls out the camera/phone will be socially frowned upon.

I thought it might be the next social fau pau, but it isn't? At least in my part of the world?
