Wasn't the whole point of the Louis Rossmann imports and similar stories with LCD screens a few months back that these were in fact refurbished Apple products? From what I've read they had the Apple logo on a connector or something because that part of the product was original.

You use SPA and then are surprised that it negatively impacts your SEO? What did you think would happen?

If you want good SEO ditch SPA. If you want SPA and SEO you must have both - client-side rendering and server-side rendering.
You are assuming that the white hat security researcher was the first to discover the flaw. That is a perfectly reasonable assumption, and your position is perfectly reasonable given that assumption.

GP was assuming that the white hat security researcher was not the first to discover the flaw, and that the flaw is actively being used to attack users. That is a perfectly reasonable assumption, and GP's position is perfectly reasonable given that assumption.
I think that almost everybody knows that barebones loops are faster than their functional alternatives, but that doesn't mean that they're typically the right choice.

On client side code, for the vast majority of web applications, performance issues are going to come from asynchronous remote requests or inefficient change detection/recompute/redraw calls. If there really is some computation that is performance critical and the 5-10x performance gain is actually noticeable (it doesn't matter if it's 1000x performance gain if it takes 50ms), then this might be a good place to start.

With nodejs, similarly, almost all performance issues are typically going to be related to the management of asynchronous calls, i.e. not doing things concurrently where possible, poorly optimized database calls, etc.

Suggesting that writing code using functional syntax is a "mistake that you should stop doing" fails to recognize that the code is far more concise and self-documenting, and 99.9% of the time is being executed in a span of time in which a 10x performance gain is beyond imperceptible.

Your statement would also only be true if people could genuinely identify low performers every single time without causing collateral damage, you are able to always ensure you hire people that are good and the company culture does not devolve into a empire building system and managers are not power hungry people looking out only for themselves. And this happens, it happened at many silicon valley companies (including one I worked for that is well known). Stack ranking does not work. It creates a culture that ends up embodying all of what I said above.
Reddit, most likely HN too.

That would be stretching my personal definition of social media, but yes Reddit does publish figures showing it's pretty much exactly as skewed towards men as Instagram is towards women, very interesting. I wonder about Strava, there seems to be no data available on that, maybe because it isn't ad-supported.

The reason I'm not so sure as neither Reddit nor HN are oriented around the personal profile in the same way as the others are. HN could (probably should) go completely "anonymous coward" and it would be no less useful.

Next job – What 6 things do you need to consider as a Junior Software Engineer?
1.Specialising
Now that you have commercial experience, is now the time to specialise?
Your future employer is looking for a junior engineer to be pragmatic, malleable and open minded. They want to see evidence of you working end-to-end, rather than being the go-to person for one very specific problem.

2. Technical Progression
When researching new roles, ask yourself will this role push forward my technical development? As a junior/mid-level engineer, there’s still a lot to learn and it is important that a new role can enable this development. My advice - seek an environment where you can be exposed to more experienced engineers and continue learning. As an ambitious engineer aim to be the best engineer in the room. It will take time so don’t run before you can walk!

3. Brand name
Junior engineers can become preoccupied with the well-known name of the company, and lose sight of what they originally wanted — to learn and work on fulfilling career-enhancing projects. My advice - remember the reasons why you were searching to begin with, and keep to them!

4. Salary
Salary will be a big part of your decision making,but always weigh up the compensation package against the overall opportunity. How much would you prioritise an extra £5k over the opportunity to work on an interesting cool new project. A talented engineering team could aid your technical development and career in the long-run. A good recruitment consultant can and should help you assess this!

5. Interviewing
Interviewing can be a huge investment of time, my advice - commit to change; get a feel of the market, apply to a handful of carefully selected options. Reach out to recruitment consultants for their advice and insights, that is what we are here for! We can help build your confidence for the next interview.

6. Finding help and guidance
Find a consultant you trust. They should take the day to day stress out of your job search and counsel and support you from start to finish.
Is it common that this type of disputes are commonly discussed in the public?

I guess that by doing the type of discussion in the public, the level of accountability is a lot higher for all concern.
I've installed Arch on XPS 13 9350 and was also surprised by the amount of things that worked out of the box: touchpad, HiDPI scaling, different scales for different monitors, no issues with the Thunderbolt dock. Actually Windows had more issues for me on this laptop.

Or course one can still screw something up but with a little effort it's easy to learn how to get out of trouble. Additionally Linux is like Lego - one can create their own setup, e.g. currently I'm using Yubikey's OpenPGP card to unlock full-disk encrypted disk. Bitlocker cannot use smartcards (but can use TPM).
You mention that "we could be way further along in biotech if..." What do you consider this to mean, and more importantly - why?

We live at a time when many believe that if there was just enough money and work going into we could eliminate all ailments and be living to 200, if not outright headed towards a Kurzweilian future - which is seemingly radically more far off as the years pass. But I can't help but consider that this optimism is happening at the same time that we can't manage to cure the common cold. And many of the most revolutionary steps we've had in medicine happened many decades and most often by purely serendipitous happening -- and not directed and heavily funded research.

For instance chemotherapy is still the front line treatment for cancer and its discovery came when a couple of doctors noticed that victims of mustard gas in the first World War had surprisingly low immune cell counts. As another example penicillin, the first and father of all antibiotics, was also discovered completely by accident. A scientist accidentally left a petri dish containing some bacteria open. It had been contaminated by some mold from a nearby window, but that mold seemed to have inhibited the bacterial expansion. Lo and behold, antibiotics emerge as a byproduct of mold on rotting decay. It took years for that discovery to be accepted even after the discovery had published and spoken about as much as he could. Probably because it's defies all intuition and is certainly not a path anybody would have ever intentionally gone down, except with hindsight. Vaccines? Similar story. Hey I noticed all these milk maids, that have caught cow pox before, are immune to small pox for some reason. Do other people become immune if exposed to cow pox? Cool, they do!

By contrast, medical progress in recent decades has been extremely asymptotic. Perhaps this could be because we've only spent $x trillion instead of $x+$y trillion, but it could also mean that we are simply hitting a genuine asymptote where we'll continue to be able to make progress but will see ever smaller returns. The current era of extreme optimism is also hardly new. A couple of decades ago nanotechnology was going to be an imminent breakthrough that would cure practically anything, and even revolutionize matter itself. And genetic engineering has been creating promises since its advent. In the decades of promises there the most we really ended up with was some crops genetically engineered to resist an herbicide, which invasive herbs also naturally grew rapidly resistant to. Cas9? We can wait a few years, but I strongly suspect I'll be able to add it onto the nanotechnology pile of 'just around the corner' revolutionary breakthroughs, but they're just around the corner in the same way that the end of MC Escher's stairwells are also just around the corner.
I don't know, but I've personally known quite a few people who died of cancer decades before their 80's, and only one in his 80's.
I think you read the parent wrong, they meant $15k total expense to employer, so $180k per year. I don't know how large are the US employment costs in addition to the salary, but assuming 40%, the employee would see ~$130k before taxes.

Way above "decent" engineer salary for the rest of the world, but I guess that's plausible in US?

> Is there a good and generic way with Linux to tell the battery to stop charging at 80%

I wish every device with a lithium battery had this feature. Maybe I would still have a battery in my MBP today ...

I had to remove it since it was expanding and pushing the trackpad out of the chassis. Thankfully it was easy to do and the machine still works plugged into main.
It depends on what you want this spectrometer to do. Public Lab spectrometer is interesting and cheap, but the performance is very very limited.

If you need something better you can search eBay for used (scanning) monochromators. Next step is to check Ocean Optics or Hamamatsu catalogs: they have good line of products, but those are in 1000 USD+ range.
Best VPN deals for business security

No, I do not ignore but it doesn't matter what people think if people live in such form of government, symbols still matter.

Do not forget that nazism, fascism etc do not born as "bad guys with many guns and ammunition", they born as founded small political parties and they grow, not so suddenly, thanks to a certain political environment, certain economic environment and a small laws at a time, following what we call now Chomsky frog model. They start to be "bad guys" when they feel strong enough.

I do not say that Canada will evolve soon in a new nazi country of course, but I'm pretty sure it will evolve in a corporatocracy more and more powerful and Canadians have less symbolic and democratic/formal weapons to fight that change.

The battery of my old laptop (HP nc8430 2006-2014) went much like the one in the post.

The battery of the new one (HP ZBook 15 2014-now) looks still new. My usage pattern is almost all the time plugged into main, sleep during the night (charge goes down, especially after I upgraded from 16 to 32 GB), occasional battery only when at customer sites or traveling.

I run the script in the post (s/energy/charge/ on Ubuntu 16.04):

timestamp,manufacturer,model_name,technology,charge_full,charge_full_design,charge_now,cycle_count,status,
1540545130,Hewlett-Packard,Primary,Li-ion,3648000,3648000,3648000,0,Full,

Maybe it's lying to me but maybe not. I remember that HP described the battery more or less as "long lasting", not intending that it can power the laptop for all the day (it's about 3 hours, which is more than OK for me) but that it will keep going on for years without degradation.

True, but the proofs themselves are very much explained with mathematical notations. Personally, for me, It's been over 5 years since I left college and solved any math problems. I don't remember what the symbols mean anymore.

I've to constantly keep googling what the symbols mean and takes a lot of time, turns discouraging to keep going through the material. So there's a deeper study going on in there just to understand, say- what an asymptotic notation means in the algorithmic world.

I definitely would love to dive deep into math since it is the foundation of algorithms, but it's good to have source material with beginner exercises. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong places...

I agree with your point, taking the proof as exercises will make things challenging for you.
"It's obvious that we know jack-shit about what could possibly go wrong and environmental dependencies -- so better not go extinguishing lifeforms since we've evolved our means of extinction beyond what natural nature cycles allow".

That's a much better formulation.

It doesn't have to be "obvious that killing all the weakest lifeforms on this planet would cause bad things to happen" not to do it.

It just has to be possible and uncertain.

In a criminal case, sure. In a civil case, law enforcement isn't involved at all (at least in old English common law based countries)

I guess that why a bailiff was present - as an officer of the court authorized to oversee such matters.
Right, but it's up to them how to process information coming in during these few seconds. Without a tripod it would be just a big blur without separating data into some frames. I don't think optical stabilization would be enough for such long exposures.
While I agree that it should be done by law enforcement, the court order already requires that a lawyer with no connection to the case should be present, as well as court appointed technical experts. I think that's a pretty strong protection.
Motorcycles are great for that. Except for a few really high end modern bikes (mostly BMWs) they are mostly repairable with nothing more than common tools and a little ingenuity.

>coyotes were known to kill pets

So the problem is that wild animals, doing what they do, might kill animals held in captivity for the entertainment of humans? And thus, wild animals need to be eradicated from the area?
They don't, of course, people game the system. The trick is recognizing that a good fraction of people in tech at a company like Netflix could disappear tomorrow along with their work and the company would not even notice. So it is not that the fire someone and other people protest because they recognize they have lost "talent". Life goes on, paycheck comes and they are all ready to code again.
What about decaf coffee?
The module/crate path issues raise a question, why doesn't it mimic what the file system does and have / for absolute paths, and ./ for relative paths? Of course it would probably be to hard to change it now in Rust but the similarity between filesystem paths is uncanny.

> Would storing genomes be enough, similar to backing up data until it is needed?

I don't think so, because many of the endangered animals are representative of entire ecosystems. Consider orang-utans and the forests they inhabit (many of which are being destroyed to collect palm-oil). If the animals have gone, it is even harder to make people want to preserve their environments in the face of relentless commercial pressure. Some endangered animals also help shape the ecosystems, e.g. when they are apex predators.

Once the animals are gone, recreating their communities is significantly harder. As stated elsewhere, most animals are better raised by their own species rather than humans outside the cage. For primates (e.g. woolly monkeys) individuals that have been raised in isolation in captivity also don't make good parents when they do eventually breed, sometimes abandoning viable young.
Angular's problem with observables is being completely mismatched with component state. You have to unsubscribe stuff manually all the time with any complex app, and it's a nightmare to debug when you've forgotten. You can use `@ngrx/utils` with class-property attributes now, but it's still weird and not always applicable and like most angular things, couldn't be coded by a newbie as it relies on the vomit-worthy-but-kinda-works metadata system.

AFAICT, with state+event hooks you could just write a function in a few lines to subscribe to an observable you pass to it, setState on each new value, and unsubscribe, and then use it everywhere.

(Edit: yes, of course there is the | async pipe. Not everything is in the template though.)
Is swagger codegen a ton of work? I wrote a swagger codegen library for elixir (by hand) and that took a few weeks, but setting it up is basically three lines of code and a single mix command. Anyone else could use my library and be up and running in a hot second.
Maybe. It’s easier for me to imagine corruption stopping if it’s tied to an election. Who votes over changing out the patent office? Nobody. What comes out of that office might as well be random in the best case, and openly corrupt in the worst (again, see the FCC).
As far as I know, do humans perceive the rotating snakes illusion because our eyes quickly jump around (saccade). Stare at one point and it stops rotating. I skimmed the publication, but the word saccade is not in it.

When taking Ambien CR don't drive or operate machinery, sleepwalking and eating or driving while not fully awake, with memory loss for the event, as well as abnormal behaviours such as more outgoing or aggressive than normal, confusion, agitation and hallucinations may occur. Don't take it with alcohol as it may increase these behaviours, allergic reactions such as shortness of breath, swallowing of your tongue or throat may occur and in rare cases may be fatal. Side effects may include next day drowsiness, dizziness and headache. In patients with depression, worsening of depression including the risk of suicide may occur. If you experience any of these behaviours or reactions contact your doctor immediately. Wake up ready for your day. Ask your healthcare provider for two-layer AmbienCR.

That's not saying he is not an extremely productive member of the community. It's saying that he is not acting in a way appropriate for that role. It's like when people say that Trump is not presidential, they don't deny that he is president.
