Every union is a democratic organization that is free to define its own rules about pay, time spent on the job, etc.

There is no reason, philosophical or technical, why a software dev union would need to have rigid 9 to 5 hours or wages based on length of time on the job.

Unions lets workers assert some meaningful control over the operation of the company, instead of simply relying on management to give them conditions they like. A union of creative folks could absolutely reflect the working conditions creative folks like.
While I suspect that's largely true, I was intrigued by the article about "The Great Sushi Craze of 1905" that appeared a few years ago (http://eccentricculinary.com/the-great-sushi-craze-of-1905-p..., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10003510). It offers a minor counterpoint and also suggests access to and curiosity about foreign cuisines can wax and wane.

The significant backlash from both left and right and the hubris is skipping the senate hearing combined with Trump’s executive order threatens to actually hurt Google, forcing him to show up. Google is the most powerful lobbyist in US history so they’re pretty immune to all this and control all legislation passed that pertains to them but with the public bipartisan backlash, maybe they feel threatened.
http://nuitka.net/ is what you are looking for.

It's robust, proven, does work well with C extensions (including numpy and QT) and produces stand alone binaries. You can produce binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac (but not cross compile). It works by turning the whole Python code into C before compiling the result. The additional benefit of that is that you gain a bit of execution speed.

The project is amazingly little known in the community while PyInstaller, py2exe, cx_Freeze, bbfreze, py2app are: nuikta works better, handle more edge cases, target more OSes and support recent versions of Python.

The best way to be convinced is to read the last entry of the blog on the home page: the guy is meticulous with this project.
As a fledgling entrepreneur, health insurance is one of the major pros of marriage for me. One of my Amazon seller colleagues was recently diagnosed with cancer and he's still in his 20s. It's heartbreaking.
Only if you think you need to divorce to enter into another relationship. I have friends who live with new partners but are married to someone else altogether; they see the process of getting divorced as an unnecessary and expensive hassle.

Really, how much of our social rituals are thus so encumbered to the primary benefit of bureaucrats and lawyers?

Meanwhile in North America we have a arms race where everyone is buying bigger and bigger trucks for "safety" reasons, even though they're proven to be more wildly more lethal to pedestrians in collisions.

There's no end in sight and I don't know how we turn around from this trend, but I do feel that NA cities would be a lot safer and more efficient if we and our cities were trending toward the compact sort of small kei cars (and compact, thin streets) that they have in Japan.
One setback with this release is that the javapackager tool, which made native installers that bundled the Java runtime, was removed (presumably because it depended on JavaFX) and there is no replacement for it. One is being proposed at http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/343 but I'm not sure when that is expected to be done.

Something very similar happened to me some days ago. I went to a new espresso shop to take a look around and see what they have to offer. Ended up having a nice chat with a shop assistant who is a coffee passionate himself and learning a lot about different kinds of beans, espresso machines and what techniques lead to which results (and yes, I bought a bag of beans and took a couple of brochures with me). It is incredible what an impact engaging in a real conversation can have opposed to plain "buy that product" talk.
Also, as of my experience, it is becoming a lot more important to not just sell a product but also tell a story with it. Consumer oriented companies can no longer survive if they solely compete in price and quality. They must try to sell not only a product but rather an experience in order to stand out.
Very meaningful question. Echo chambers tend to think their influence is far greater than it is. Much of HN may be growing resentment, but that's far from reflective on the population as a whole.

Even if it's considered the beginning of a trend, the question of what does the public actually think - do they actually care still stands.

edit: I a word.

That's both a fact and not an answer to the question he's asking. For example, unmarried people can live together and split the bills. The above poster isn't asking if it's cheaper to live together with someone--they're asking if selection bias causes it to look that way. That is, whether or not there's sufficient distinction between single folk, long-term non-married split-the-bills relationships, and marriage.
No, it doesn't disturb me at all. At work and among friends there are people who have more skills than I am exposed to and I get to learn a lot from them. However none of them ever advocate not using an IDE or claim not needing an IDE. In fact a lot of them use one or the other.

I used to write in Vim (C) when I worked for that South Korean giant. After that I moved to Java/Android and I wouldn't get back to those days of Vim/C for anything. So I think it comes down to choice. The thing is GP commenter mentioned "masochism" and now I see the point.

Thank you for addressing the issue.
As a society, we chose to push children out of the labor market even though that made things more expensive. We pushed for weekends, time off, the 40-hour workweek and overtime, even though it made things more expensive. At the end of the day, racing to the bottom in the pursuit of lower prices is not an unmitigated good.

(To be clear, I'm not saying you disagree with any of these points, these are just my $.02.)
The Wikipedia article on minimum wage laws [0] has a pretty good overview of some of the most common arguments for and against.

Also, proximity to talent. If all the other game developers are in the same area, it's easier to recruit employees with "come work for us, we're 2 blocks east" than it is with "come work for us, we'll pay relocation expenses".

For developers in general, remote work is an option, but specifically for the highly-collaborative creative work that goes on in game dev (and especially the genre Telltale was running) a remote culture is a _lot_ harder to get right.
Many people still are living together and splitting bills without being married, so it's not all that relevant to the question.
Did those sandwich shops have non-competes that forbade the employee from working for any other company no matter the industry, or just sandwich shops? It's still stupid, but the hyperbole above is about non-competes forbidding getting any other job anywhere ever again.
My company has the same policy - one monitor per employee. When I wanted a second one, I bought my own, set it up over the weekend, and when someone from IT finally noticed it a month or so later, I just said "Oh, I found it in the hardware e-waste pile over by the server room"

Not sure if I can take it with when I leave, but hey, at least now I have my second monitor and it cost less than $300 - I'll probably bequeath it to a fellow employee.
Java 9 and 10 were released. Java has moved to a time-based release schedule where they release what is ready for each release rather than having things block releases forever. Every third release is a long-term-support release. It's similar to Ubuntu where they release every 6 months, but then there's an LTS release that many people will wait for.
Google had offered someone else to appear (their top lawyer). It's unclear when the senate committee decided to reject this person and require Sundar or Larry to show up. It's very possible he had other things already lined up that weren't easily changeable.
For U2F you're right that it becomes single factor if you use the device as the only factor. With FIDO2 (which is what makes passwordless available), however, the device supports a local PIN as the "something you know" factor - and it's also a better kind of knowledge factor than a traditional password since it's never sent over the network.

That's exactly the point I'm trying to make to OP. Think about the future and opt out!

It's a super tough sell for most people though, so the majority is likely going to just opt in, or remain opted in by default.

Hi everyone! Well, thank you for all of the comments - didn't expect my short little tale to be that interesting :)

As for me, it worked out - soon after arriving in NYC, I took a chance at starting a company for myself. Unlike Burbn/Instagram, which I would have liked from a market perspective, I went all-in on an idea and an industry that I truly loved. I managed to raise a little bit of funding, hired a great team, and exited 10x a few years later. Still at the company, now CTO. Love it more and more every day.

Right around the same time I started my company, I also met a beautiful woman who is now my wife. Bonus!

Do I think about what could have been? Sure. But I didn't let it stop me from plowing ahead and moving forward. What happened yesterday or last week or last year only impacts you to the extent that you let it. All you can ever do is believe in yourself and make the best decisions you can with the information available to you.
That's the easy part, but you'd still need to re-do the HDL to include the appropriate controller, and then make sure it has enough memory bandwidth to drive said controller. Most likely it'd be a significant rewrite.
Good question. The pattern will indeed turn sideways.

1. There is nothing deep about the shape of the slit. You can do the "double-slit" experiment with "double-pinhole" or "double-weirdshapes" and you will get the same behavior, just that the math will be different.

2. In fact, there is a simpler experiment you can do which gives the same qualitative results, but in which the shape of the wave is much less relevant. You can split a single photon into two fiber cables using a beamsplitter, then interfere the light in those cables using another beamsplitter. The good thing about this is that all the operations in this setup are linear, because light is not lost anywhere. In a double-slit experiment, light that falls outside the slits gets blocked and so the operations are non-linear and you have to worry about the shape of the slits and wave a lot more.

3. I am not quite sure which two dimensions you mean, when you say 2d wave. There are two axes in the plane of the slits (longitudinal) and another axis perpendicular to this plane (transverse). The wave of light is in fact 3D, but lets simplify. If its 2D in the longitudinal axes, then obviously the shape/orientation of the slits matter. Imagine putting a rainbow colored piece of paper against the slits. Depending on the orientation of the slits, different colors will make contact with the slits. If its 2D in transverse+one longitudinal axis then it still matters. Imagine taking a stack of identical rainbow colored paper and put it edge on against the slits. If you rotate the slits, obviously the colors making contact with the slits will change. Hence, the interference pattern changes again.
Whats remarkable to me is how this stands in contrast to some historical European cities like in Greece, Italy and Spain where some of the buildings and cities have remained essentially the same for hundreds of years! (In many cases, longer than America has been a country!)

You are right that per-pixel noise mainly depends on pixel size (most digital cameras are shot noise limited at high ISO).

However, we should be comparing images at the same size, rather than at 100% pixel crops. If you print the high resolution 5Ds images in the same size as the 5D4's, the noise will be finer and less distracting. You can also denoise and downsample the image to the same number of megapixels as the 5D4's and get a similar amount of noise per pixel.

In this sense, a high resolution sensor with smaller pixels is always better because you get the freedom to have finer detail in bright light and still get clean images at lower resolution in dim light.

Since when does the government get to police ideological speech, or complain about "bias"? Google could in principle make its results insanely left-leaning and the first amendment should protect them. Are we going to let the government choose which results get suppressed to suit its own needs?

They must be very careful not to let the narrative become "we don't bias our results, we swear!" (even if it's true) because that validates the notion that the government is allowed to complain about it, and puts the burden on them to prove it. Their position should be a very firm "don't tell us what to f*cking do."
Is number five true? (Genuine question.) I haven't used QT in anger, and it's been a few years since I last wrote something in WXP. But the last project went with wxWidgets because of its built-in support for things like drag-and-drop negotiation, (multiple) file type association, undo, print, file preview, system level common accelerators and OS defined accessibility settings (including color and font remapping, speech to text, keyboard navigation, and screen readers). In my mind they are more important than the widgets for building a practical tool. Is QT on par with those?

To join in this comment thread's Electron-ragging, I often find it frustrating that the hard-won OS idioms of the last 20 years have been left so easy to jettison in the age of apps.
Best I could find is that unions in a given industry bargain for their wage. There is no minimum wage law that I could find. From what I read, it seemed to be the consensus of the unions that minimum wage law might actually hurt their bargaining power by driving wages down.

Am I missing something? There's a huge difference between negotiated wages between two parties (one being a union), and a law mandating a wage.
How many industries in the US are concentrated in a handful of large companies? There's only Lyft and Uber for rideshare. Drivers could go on their own, but there's no open source platform to just offer services on that's as easy as those companies. During peak surge times, Lyft and Uber are actually more expensive than New York taxi services, but riders will reach for the app out of habit.

Left to their own devices, large companies will just collude to fix wages. There needs to be a large-scale counterweight to the large-scale business. https://nypost.com/2014/04/24/tech-giants-settle-wage-fixing...

> You set up a photodetector around each slit, and measure when a particle passes through it.

> This is weird!

No, it's not. You made that particle's wave function collide with the huge wave function of a photodetector, of course it's going mess up the wave of the particle itself.
And what if it did?

For me, the most important aspect of free will is to be able to predict the outcomes and consequences of my choices, use that as feedback to select which decision to make.

It's not hard to test this hypothesis. All they have to do is look if the elderly show the same pattern as addicts. If they do, it suggest that a weakened immune system leaves the body vulnerable.
Other comments in the thread mention it applying to other textures too, so calling it a "beauty/skin filter" is a bit much, I think. It's probably just strong noise reduction being applied in general.

I think noise reduction should be a setting that can be disabled, though, but I think it makes sense to enable by default for a front-facing camera that lacks the resolution/capabilities of the back camera and will probably be used more often in environments that would benefit from it being applied.

> Can you show that what we measure is not real?

Do you realize how nonsensical that question is? I cannot show by measurement that I cannot show things by measurement. It's tautological.

Postmodernism doesn't assert that measurements aren't real. It asserts that we cannot know if they are. It is, in a sense, an extension of epistemological skepticism to its extreme conclusion.
I have a spice blend that I made for flavoring beans that has kind of become a new staple at the table. It's about half tomato powder, maybe a quarter hot red chile powder, and equal parts cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano for the balance. I'm thinking about switching some of the chile powder out for chipotle to see how that goes for the next batch.

Two teaspoons in a bowl of beans makes some nice ranch-style beans, but we've been using it in lots of other places as a shake-on spice (eggs are particularly good). It's a pretty decent dry rub for meat on the smoker or grill too.

I worked at a startup that started doing that, the company was only around 250 people at the time, but the VP of IT was hired from a fortune 100 company, and he instituted the catalog approach of only 2 supported laptop configs (13" or 15"), and one desktop.

When I left the company, the engineering director was working out how to let his team go rogue - basically handling all of their own IT support, the only caveat being that they had to install IT's intrusion detection software, but aside from that, an engineer would be able to buy any machine within a certain budget.
In this case it means that they used too many resources to recreate their previous success, which happened to be fleeting.

Hi, co-creator of volkswagen here. Just some fun trivia about the project, which Kenneth and I obviously made as a joke years back when Volkswagen got caught cheating:

The Node module actually works. If you use it, it will make all your tests pass.

When writing the code, I put the logic for detecting if code is being run on a CI server into a separate node module called is-ci[1] (which the volkswagen module then depends on). That module (later split out into ci-info[2]) turned out to be so useful for actual work, that today it's being used by both React and the npm cli.

I only found this out recently. Imagine the surprise when a tiny part of a joke project you created years ago turns out to be one of your most popular open source projects :D
