Well, the consolidation itself is kind of interesting, I think; while retail food service brands have certainly gone through consolidations before, the restaurant and cafe industry hasn't been quite as subject to it. (Not to say that it doesn't happen, but the biggest operators tend to spin off and trade brands as often as they buy them, like Red Lobster being spun off from Darden, or A&W and Long John Silver's being spun off from Yum! Brands -- yes, that local fast food place that's a joint A&W and KFC is actually two separate companies now.)

Something that this piece hints at but doesn't underline well is just how big JAB Holding Company has quietly become in the last ~5 years: they now outright own or have controlling/majority interest in Bruegger's Bagels, Canada Dry, Caribou Coffee Company, Dr Pepper, Einstein's Bagels, Green Mountain Coffee, Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea, Jacobs Douwe Egberts, Keurig, Krispy Kreme, Mighty Leaf Tea, Noah's Bagels, Panera Bread, Peet's Coffee & Tea, Snapple, and Stumptown Coffee. That is a big company. Nestlé's coffee brands aren't all that well known over here, despite the push to get people to pay attention to Nespresso.

Personally, I remain unconvinced that there's a huge untapped market for "better" home coffee and espresso brewers in the US; while this sounds like a setup for a "quality, convenience, and price, pick any two" joke, in practice, it seems like you can pick either quality or convenience, regardless of price. Keurig machines simply don't make very good coffee; a consumer who finds a Mr. Coffee too fiddly is not going to be swayed by a coffee nerd with an Aeropress; and given that Americans don't seem to love espresso drinks unless they're fiddly steamed milk and syrup based concoctions, even a Nespresso machine isn't going to help much with the convenience aspect. JAB's signing a deal with Illy, what led to this Economist article, doesn't seem like it's really going to move the needle much over here, at least; a Keurig capsule full of Illy coffee will still be a Keurig capsule, and Illy's capsule machine that's a competitor to the Nespresso isn't likely to do any better here than any of the other Nespresso also-rans.

(I am, for the record, a coffee nerd with an Aeropress. And a Technivorm, a few different single cup dripper gadgets, a Chemex, and, yes, a Nespresso.)
"tons of people do it on $5 a day style"

Fallback is important though; that is the "if I run out of money, seriously, then what do I do?"

There's a huge different between a $5/day lifestyle and a fallback to your parents basement vs a $5/day lifestyle and a fallback to, well, I guess I'll be living on the street.

The difference in cognitive load and stress between the two is staggering. Having a fallback is a very privileged position to be in.

Most entrepreneurs don't want to admit they can fallback to a parent's basement somewhere as it kind of kills their image.
I would trust a math professor to have an intuitive and abstract understanding of the kind algebraic or notational concerns you have. Math people reuse symbols and invent new algebras all the time, so they don't hold these symbols (or their syntax) sacred at all. There is in fact a healthy professional irreverence.

Perhaps you may have benefited from a constructionist approach to mathematics, which is far less "magical", but most math is for engineering so its understandable why math professors teach differently.

It may be interesting to recall that collabora did port the linux professional JACK audio server to Android and it has far less latency than audioflinger (btw in french audioflinger phonetically mean to destroy the audio (quality), which is kinda appropriate).

Sadly no OEM ever cared to my knowledge to integrate this work in their ROMs.
I also openened an issue on the android bugtracker to feature request replacing audioflinger with alsa/pulseaudio.
They never answered nor closed the issue but I haven't checked since 2 years.

Edit: here is the android feature request https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37073168
Maybe if you comment/upvote it it may gain traction.

Digression: If you are interested in audio latency, I recall that Firefox has better webaudio performance than Chrome.

The FDA is prohibited from requiring safety and efficacy evidence before supplements go on the market. This is unlike substances categorized as drugs, which require both safety and efficacy evidence before going on the market. So the FDA won't know if a supplement is actually dangerous until after it is on the market, and then it will have to find that particular supplement among the thousands that exist, as the onus is on the FDA to find and prove it is dangerous.

Maybe for smaller companies, but Apple is very paranoid and AIUI does indeed inspect the hardware to make sure it hasn't been tampered with. I know less about Amazon in this regard but I would expect Amazon to do at least some level of hardware inspection to detect tampering as well.

Indeed. Quite the opposite. When working with multiple layers of systems that will eventually have vulnerabilities discovering, you must design your environment to remain secure regardless.

The chances of someone infiltrating a properly designed(and maintained) environment without detection are very slim.

This here is precisely the problem, and is also precisely why these types of students aren't mere "cash cows"; they're existential threats to engineering management's ability to hire people who can actually do what they claim to be able to do.

I think we can commend private efforts like Berea, but also hold the government accountable in its spending. Tax collection and government spending are two different things: mismanagement of tax revenue only related to tax collection in that the latter allows for the former in that there becomes something to mismanage. If we want to stop collection because of mismanagement, then the government shouldn't have bailed out the banks in 2008. If you don't want to pay for someone else's liberal arts degrees, then you petition ask the government to only sponsor scholarships and grants for careers that are in demand / the state or nation as a whole lacks.
So, would you agree the reverse is true then? If you live in a booming city with a low paying job, are you also part of the problem, by placing yourself in a situation where you fail to keep up with the market rate for housing, and force your landlord to evict you?
I’m so glad someone is bringing attention to this. I recall last year when it was announced that Numpy was receiving its first grant (for a mere 650k), and most HN comments were like “wow, I never really thought about how they were funded!” Public goods require community investment.
Recently quite a few articles appeared on HN about escaping the rat race for a while and taking some time off. As someone who has a little savings and who is a bit burnt out I've been toying with the idea myself quite a bit. My biggest fear is that because I have only a vague idea of what I want to do with my time, I will fritter away my sabbatical, not accomplish much and end up pretty much at the same point (but with less money). OTOH maybe my ideas about what I want to do are vague precisely because I don't have much time to flesh them out.
Docker isn't really used for desktop applications. Docker also requires a daemon (and on OSX a full virtual machine) to run.

A better analogy for this system would be jar files that allow more languages than just java.
In the cases where the problem is fixed, I think you'll find that the explanation is as simple as this:

They view the message as showing up a failure on their part and they do not want anything showing that they have made a mistake in some way. So, they do not acknowledge your message as it provide a means of tracking that failure.

For those cases where it is not fixed, there is no-one who cares to do so.

In the past, I have made communications with website admins about various aspects of their sites (non-security related) when they poorly relate to those of us who are getting older and have increasing eyesight difficulties. The usual response has been "No one else has complained, so take a long jump off a short pier - our site is perfect." I sometimes try to explain that people won't continue to visit if the experience is bad, nor will they bother highlighting that there are problems. They will generally still respond with "shut-up and go away."

You just leave them to their ineffective site and move on. Very occasionally, you get back a thanks and see improvements made, but that is rare.
There is a form of this critique which is correct, but requires a lot more mathematical sophistication than you can get from starting from this viewpoint.

For example, Fields Medalist Terrence Tao essentially believes the same thing, but sees it as an extension of having gone through a phase of rigour to understand how in particular to ignore the details of a system: https://terrytao.wordpress.com/career-advice/theres-more-to-...

And modus ponens, modus tollens. Consider the view where if any approach to mathematics is valid, including your idiosyncratic version, it is also the case that the style they teach is going to be at least as valid. To actually understand why you would want to choose one mathematical system over another requires familiarity with both systems, and so some flexibility is demanded of you.

Isn't part of the blame also upon primary and secondary education, for not producing graduates who can work at a car rental shop?
On the plus side, learning to disregard resentful negative people is an important life skill and parent is helping teach it.

It's far better to be positive. For example a good friend of mine founded a successful crypto shop. At the time, I thought the idea was stupid. However I didn't say that, I told him I wanted him to succeed and I was happy to listen to him describing what he wanted to do and how he was going to do it. Now our friendship is even closer and he's doing great. While it's unlikely given his personality, if I had been negative I might have talked him out of a big success and that isn't what good people do.

But isn’t that exactly what the study shows? You started by saying Fung misreads the study, but that’s what the study says, isn’t it?

Maybe you meant to question the study itself, but I don’t understand your objection to that either. The study tests whether this form of IF improves certain markers of metabolic health, and it shows it does — within the design of the study, of course, but that’s true of every study and doesn’t make it meaningless. You seem to be implying it doesn’t work in the way IF proponents think it does. That may be true, but isn’t relevant to this study since it doesn’t attempt to answer.
I'm conflicted.

Moving RSS/Atom into webextensions is probably the right decision if you want a small, focused browser that does what it does well and that allows the community to innovate on top of it. And I want that.

So I should be happy, but Firefox overall doesn't seem to necessarily be moving in that direction. Like, I still don't really get why we have Pocket integration. So now I don't know.

It's a good decision that's maybe being made for the wrong reasons, and that may have bad side effects.
One thing I realized more recently is the value of building your nest egg early. Sure, you have many years down the road to earn money, but the later you earn it, the less time that money will be working for you. Put it away early, don't touch it, and it quietly grows. Burn down your reserves now, and you get no benefit of all the upcoming years of interest (or ROI, etc).

There are many but the biggest is probably the destruction of unions, destruction of the social safety net (e.g. welfare et al), and especially the stagnation of wages for nearly the last half century. If the minimum wage had kept pace with, say, per capita GDP since the 1960s it would be at around $20/hr by now, and if it had been increased gradually over time to keep parity with economic growth (as it had been for decades in the past) then there would be no great immediate economic shock to having the minimum wage "so high". And such a high minimum wage would also raise the wages of a lot of other folks as well, pushing up the bottom end of the wage scale, forcing a lot more of the economic growth since the '80s to have gone to workers instead of just corporate and millionaire profits/income. All of which would have led to a situation where it was much more difficult for climbing housing prices to force huge numbers of people into a homelessness that represented a huge uphill climb to get out of.

On top of that there's the insane SF zoning problems and many other issues, but those are really just the icing on the cake, the core problem is the massive wealth/income inequality that exists in the US today.
OMG you’ve rocked my world. I always thought toast was a magically hot setting beyond broil.
That doesn't mention linking at all.
You can also see it as a security gain because you now can upgrade things independently without fear of how that may propagate to other applications. Being able to upgrade rapidly is the single best way to improve security. With DLLs people take a lot more time to upgrade because the risk is so high, meaning systems sit with older less-secure versions for longer.
That is true + there is an offhand quote he makes about ECS in general, but 99% is about the issue you mention
It can be a little tricky to do things right here.

There are a few things of note:

1. The .dockerignore file can be used to prevent use of your `node_modules` folder during `docker build`, even if you have something like `COPY . .` in your Dockerfile.. This can let you create a new `node_modules` folder from your lockfile as part of the docker build process to create an image for testing/deployment.

2. You can maintain separate Dockerfiles and such for development and for release, so e.g. for development you might use volumes and not copy things in, but for release you wouldn't use volumes for source code.

I can't tell from what you said, but it seems like one of those two tips might be relevant.

It's okay to have a development setup which doesn't use containers and then use containers for deployment (so long as you have an integ or staging environment that uses containers) as well. It's quite reasonable to have a venv during development, but inside the docker image to not use a venv at all since things will already be reasonably isolated inside the container's fs.

If the client is not short-sighted they'll realize that asking to cut corners in the short term results in higher costs in the long term. But if they were this smart they might be doing the development inhouse in the first place. :)
It's a serious risk. If I'm ever in this situation again, I think I will have an idea, and possibly even a very bare-bones prototype before I quit my job.

Also, if you're going to use this opportunity to learn a new language/framework/etc, I'd dip the toes in the water now.
I am currently doing something like this. I quit my job to embark in a the most ambitious project of my life and so far it's been quite the experience.

One thing that I've discovered working on my own is the value of solitude. When I'm really alone, I can talk to myself out loud and I've found that it allows me to think 10X clearer. Maybe it's just me, but externalizing my thoughts without bothering about what others think it's great for creativity.
Since the issue with wireless charging is power efficiency, having good power engineers onboard will likely help. That said, they are almost certainly buying them for the PMICs inside hardware devices first, and for accessories like AirPower second.

But it's not a bad way to start shipping advanced power electronics like GaN, which dialog has chips for.
That’s not accurate. You can’t just create a new chemical and call it a supplement. There has to be pre-existing data indicating that a supplement has been used in the past (prior to the legislation).

If data suggests a supplement isn’t safe, the FDA can ban it.

Plus, you’re not allowed to make specific safety or efficacy claims when selling a supplement. You can be vague about “It’s been used for insomnia”. But that’s about it.
This solves some of the app packaging pain that goes into building desktop apps. Not sure how this works but it probably bundles dependencies into the binary a la static linking. Docker mocks the OS and virtualizes, its a very different approach

I'm stoked for anything that eases the pain of desktop deployment that isn't Electron. Right now the cross-platform story is... complicated
Out of curiosity, when was that? Modern frontend has many issues (npm is at least a hundred of them) but browser compatibility is a solved problem for the majority of purposes.

HTML had been stable since forever, and browsers will render pretty much any old shit you throw at them without too much cajoling. SVG/canvas were the last things to be cleaned up iirc, but they're pretty usable now.

Most of the sharp edges on JS' DOM API implementations were smoothed off ages ago and if you want to use the newest features stuff like babel and typescript transpile es6 back to es5 with selection of polyfills. AFAIK safari still can't round opacity properly, but since that's usually a stylistic thing just use css.

Vendor prefixes in css have been less relevant for a fair while, were easy to use if you wanted to throw some @keyframes down, and are a non issue of you use an auto prefixer of some description.

The only problem browser is IE11, which had some admittedly wacky implementations and out-dates most of the modern frontend stack by several years.

There are still weirdnesses (Firefox's font rendering, literally everything Safari does, features being implemented and deprecated simultaneously) but nothing insurmountable.
I agree. If Mozilla doesn't have the resources to maintain RSS and Atom, then it feels weird for them to still work on Pocket. I know that they aren't interchangeable, but it is a confusing trade-off on their part.
Google Tells Senators That Censored Search Engine Could Provide “Broad Benefits”
I was in the same place as you. When I started my sabbatical I had some vague ideas, but mainly just planned to drive around the western US and experience the outdoors. After a few weeks I realized I missed thinking about technology, so I started doing the CryptoPals exercises (https://github.com/wskinner/cryptopals). I learned a lot, at my own pace, and didn't come back feeling like I wasted my time.

Those first few weeks of unstructured time were essential. Not framing the time as having to accomplish something is important - I found that my intrinsic motivation came back on its own anyway.
The FDA already prohibits efficacy claims on supplements.

You can claim it’s used, but t can claim it treats any disease.
