Agreed, there are fundamental problems in this field. Many biologists for some reason will not accept that, when populations A and B are not sympatric, the process of evolution does not offer any obvious definition of "belong to the same species" in the question "do A and B belong to the same species?"

But it's very tricky. On the opposite side from the theoretical/philosophical considerations of what entities participating in the evolutionary process should have what names, there are extremely valid pragmatic considerations: if we are to save habitat and certain lineages then it's helpful to just agree on the damn name and get on with the difficult work of conservation biology which is conducted in the world of human politics, not the pages of a systematics journal. And in fact in many cases it will help the survival of a geographically isolated lineage to err in the direction of "splitting" it out as a separate species, regardless of pointy-headed academic considerations.
Go to a therapist. A money hoarder is the worst kind of hoarder, since it's basically encouraged by society, but it's really damaging to both the hoarder and the people around them. Destroys famillies, etc, etc. Your money thing is probably, like ordinary hoarding, a sublimated form of anxiety.
The original title was "There’s Worrying New Research About Kids’ Screen Time and Their Mental Health." My point is that the article doesn't have anything worrying in it. Having a new diagnostic tool isn't something to worry about. If anything, it's the opposite.
Maybe reading about the opposite can help. I found about Mr Money Moustache[0] about a year ago. His blog changed the way I look at and think about money.

I'm graduating from UT Austin (B.S. Computer Engineering) in December! I've also been doing web dev in one form or another for about nine years now. My biggest personal projects to date are a full-featured cloud-hosted note-taking app [0], and the compiler for a programming language [1] I built out of frustration with JavaScript. I've had a (tech) internship every summer since I began my undergrad, and with my graduation approaching I am now looking for full-time work. Ideally I'd work at a relatively small company with a product that benefits people, especially creators, on an individual level (Bandcamp and Automattic spring to mind as examples), but any workplace where I'd get to apply my skills to real-world production would be great!

The softening demand for antiques may also be partly due to changing style preferences. Look at the production design in movies and catalog shoots or the way homes are staged for listings—you’ll see more farmhouse tables or mid century modern and less traditional furniture. It would be interesting to see how the price of modern vintage items has fared compared to traditional antiques.

A string in C is an implicit type; it's a specialization[1] of an array of characters. Another example of implicit type are Lists in Lisp (specialization of nested pairs).

There's degrees of good. You can buy a respectable upright piano like the one I learned on for a few thousand dollars.

A few years ago I was looking at a Schimmel grand for $30,000 (CAD). That's a big purchase, but I could afford it, especially for something I'd use daily for the rest of my life.

A modest house in Toronto is now over $1 million, and appreciates annually as much as my entire annual net income. I will never afford that.
First, realize that you're probably making at least double the median US income. If you have a house with no loan and that income, you're doing way, way, way better than average.

I see two possible paths forward.

The less likely is to read and internalize http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-sim... and realize how quickly you can reach financial independence at a reduced spending level (but one that still affords an amazing life). Buying time is the most valuable use of money, IMO.

The second is to stay miserable for a while, striving for something ambiguous yet out of reach, until you get older and this feeling fades.

Path #1 (or a variant) is probably healthier and happier.
This won't necessarily "stop your greed," but I'm a big fan of Jim Harrison's "In Search of Small Gods," particularly the poem "Quarters."

Quarters

--------------

"Maybe the problem is that I got involved with the wrong crowd of gods
when I was seven. At first they weren't harmful and only showed
themselves as fish, birds, especially herons and loons, turtles, a bobcat and a
small bear, but not deer and rabbits who only offered themselves as food.
And maybe I spent too much time inside the water of lakes and rivers.
Underwater seemed like the safest church I could go to. And sleeping
outside that young might have seeped too much dark into my brain and
bones. It was not for me to ever recover. The other day I found a quarter in
the driveway I lost at the Mecosta State Fair in 1947 and missed out on five
rides including the Ferris wheel and the Tilt-A-Whirl. I sat in anger for hours
in the bull barn mourning my lost quarter on which the entire tragic history
of earth is written. I looked up into the holes of the bulls' massive noses and
at the brass rings puncturing their noses which allowed them to be led. It
would have been an easier life if I had allowed a ring in my nose but so
many years later I still find the spore of the gods here and there but never in
the vicinity of quarters."

Ask HN: Document management
Hey guys, I'm a lawyer and I find difficult to manage my files. Not the organization of the files management, but the problem is relate one case to another. I have everything in my head, so when I have a case "X" I can easily relate to cases "Y" and "Z" and start working from them, or even discard that and start from case "D" or zero. In the beginning/end of the case.

But with my new associates they don't have "my mind" as database and struggle to start the jobs and they do the job from scratch, searching in the legal systems without knowing most of the job is already done in our files.

I use Dropbox and MSword to store and make the documents (check example below).my Dropbox files: dp/client_name(client_number)/PI.docx (the name is always the same depending of the process phase)
I use Google Sheets to organize the process but it's imitated to 2 fields (subject and description) so you must read the document to know if it's realated;
I use Atlassian for Knowledge Database, but only general rules, not specific cases or files.
I do not use management systems and I don't want to use.

I would like a solution inside Dropbox, Windows or Google Sheets, with my current files, automated. But if it's not possible I upload/server. As alternative, to manually sort them, I can imagine a tree style and hashtags to help finding them:

/subject: labor_law[+]
/house_working [+]

Case001.docx #labor_law; #home_working; #company; #details1; #details2; #details3;

/appeal
Apeal001.docx #court_x #appeal_favorable #especific_case_arguments
/case_studies
/accidents
/starting

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I made a huge effort to find a a solution but I coudn't, I love hackernews, read everyday, I'm sure there's an easy solution out there that I cannot see. Thanks!

I agree somewhat, but I did take that directly from the current title.
It's called a "rethorical question". You gave the example of safety. It's as if I asked you "who decides what safety is?" and you post a link to some standards body. It's missing the point.

It's not untrue to say there is no clearly defined meaning of "safety", just like there is no clearly defined meaning of "organic farming". The fact that there are standards bodies or certifications doesn't change that.

The other claim is that organic farming is marketing BS. I don't even see you arguing that it isn't. Even many organic farmers agree!

So, what's the issue?
Of all the recurring themes in Lem's visionary work, extreme body modification is perhaps the one where mankind has least scratched the surface so far. The fashionable tattoos and plastic surgery we have now is so limited in scope, it's like looking at a PDP-10 and trying to predict an iPhone X.
The current locality rate for the DC-ish area (which actually goes halfway to Wilmington and Richmond) is 28.22%; thus, a GS-12-05 salary is $72k in a low-cost-of-living area and $92k in DC. The Federal Salary Council's recommended locality rate is 78.81%, bringing that notional GS-12 to $128k. So there is already somewhat of a disconnect between federal salaries and cost of living.

That aside, it's easy enough for the government to fix the housing problem. They're just too invested in keeping prices high to want that.

Introduction to DNA-Based Data Storage and CATALOG
I've tried to setup rtags once again to provide detailed info, but I get:

"RTags protocol version mismatch. This is usually caused by getting rtags.el from melpa and installing a new rtags build that modified the protocol. They need to be in sync."

Anyway, I remember that I had negative experience with rtags.
In reverse: unlimited loans are give that cannot be waived in university. This bids up the cost of university and has schools compete on features rather than price.
It's an interesting question, one I have been thinking about too. I'm not sure there is a place that combines a strong university town with easy access to (but separation from) Toronto and room for growth in quite the same way. Maybe St Catherines if they make Brock a huge priority? The former industrial sections are much like Kitchener was, just waiting for the right companies to need cheap space.

Ottawa is always going to be a government town first even though it has it's own tech scene, anything in the GTA gets swallowed by Toronto, Barrie and Brantford don't have universities, Windsor is too far from Toronto, but they might be able to piggyback on Detroit's revival if they play their cards right, London is stagnant and has been for decades, Kingston is on the wrong side of Toronto to really take advantage of Pearson, Guelph has already benefitted from Waterloo's explosion and the north is too harsh for many people.

I came to Waterloo for university about 15 years ago and never left. Despite real estate prices really jumping up, the investment in transit and transport through the region might mean south Kitchener and Cambridge are the next Waterloo.
Went on a Carnival cruise a month ago. To log out of the internet in one device you had to visit logout.com. They redirected this internally to their own portal.
I want to hear a candidates train of thought. I want to see their ability to reason about multiple solutions and weighing their benefits and drawbacks. The problem at hand should be something trivial - no whiteboard algorithms - so that the solutions themselves come easily (or may even be provided), the important thing is to test the ability to reason about things like difficulty of implementation performance, etc.

“Just doing real world stuff” might be another useful but separate part of an interview.

This is not needed under the inference system proposed in that paper.

Have you considered finding better examples instead? I think that a better explanation on the differences between static and dynamic typing would be to simply say that in dynamic typing type checking happens during the runtime while in static typing type checking happens during the compile time.

"We all theoretically agree that I could have burned the most oil today (and in so doing, I will not be able to do something I could otherwise have done as my funds are locked up, which feels like a waste)" is a way way way way better scenario than "I guess we will all have to burn a bunch of oil to make sure I'm right (and in so doing we destroy our habitat, which more than feels like a waste)"... it really doesn't matter if it provides a better result than proof-of-work as long as it doesn't provide a worse one and has fewer externalities (if nothing else, as the people willing to play this game at all will have a selection bias for people who don't think the environment is important; we are already at the point where 1% of humanity's CO2 impact is from cryptocurrency mining, which is insane: "the economy is moving 1% slower as we are locking up capital in silly ways" is roughly harmless in comparison).
Contemplate your own mortality
I read a book recently called Beyon Anger. You fall into the “whiner angry man” category. Someone who’s angry and expresses his angriness through compaints and negativity. Usually these people stopped making any progress in life and wait for the world to change, not them. It’s a waste of time and talent.

My best advise would be for you to go chase your dream and to stop complaining too much. If you love money (who doesn’t really?), then work harder to get more.
why does bombarding tightly-packed rubidium-87 atoms with lasers cool them to minus 273.15 degrees Celsius?
Yes, that is a good way of putting it. No one would ask whether an electric guitar is 'better' or 'as good' as an acoustic, they are simply different.

I enjoy owning an electric piano simply because it lets me practise with headphones in a small apartment, but it does not substitute fully for a mechanical piano.
I've read about it several times now - from several sources, so it seems to be common knowledge is some circles. There is a famous architect who was in charge of the "quality of life" government organization which was established in response, and he wrote a book which was translated into English. I've tried to remember his name - I know he had an entire Wiki page dedicated to him, but it's just been too many years.

A string in C is entirely built upon convention; it exists in the words of a document only.

Common Lisp has a list class that you can specialize a CLOS method on.

Also:

[1]> (typep nil 'list)
T
[2]> (typep '(a) 'list)
T
[3]> (typep 3 'list)
NIL

And:

[4]> (subtypep 'cons 'list)
T ;
T
[5]> (subtypep 'null 'list)
T ;
T

So, kind of apples and oranges.

> you really don’t see the difference between a foreign hostile government spying vs the domestic one doing it?

The foreign hostile government can't legally do anything to me based on the information it gains. At worst it can blackmail me or abuse access to accounts, at which point I'll have the protection of my government.

The domestic government can do a lot of damage with the information it gains and importantly, I have little to no recourse. If it makes up an excuse to seize my funds, I can't really do anything. If a three-letter agency blackmails me into doing something, who's going to protect me?

They're both bad but a foreign government spying on me is less bad than a domestic one.

A bit off topic but it sounded like you were implying that domestic was less bad. I believe the reverse.

> Job, marriage, Kids, and life in general does not allow me to have a fixed schedule.

The way I fixed this was to get up early. If I get up between 5-6am, I easily have 2-4 hours of time before anything attempts to derail me. During these hours, I go to the gym and then get my most focused productivity of the day done. The rest of the day is flexible depending on what's going.

Before someone chimes in that I'm going to die from lack of sleep, I'm in bed between 9-10pm every night and get 7-8 hours sleep.
Ah and regarding career: Do Masters' degree if you want guided learning and/or target an academic career.

But if you are self learner and want industry job with hands-on distributed systems, I would recommend exposing any back-end/dev-ops/networking experience in your résumé. Also obtain AWS and GCP certificates, they will require you to learn about both theoretical and practical aspects of distributed systems.

Seek companies working on large scale distributed software, you may start as full-stack or back-end engineer and then get closer to interesting projects.

Saying the "only advantage" is space efficiency is definitely weird. Null-termination means that a string can't contain \0, which has both good and bad consequences. Maybe what the author means is that the technique of just running through the string until you hit a null has been an unmitigated disaster from a security perspective. (Buffer overflows often result from a strcpy() which receives a longer string than expected as an argument.)

See this proposal which takes that problem as its starting point: https://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt

More generally, the implication that space efficiency is the justification for null-termination is probably not historically true. It was a form of in-band signalling, just like getchar() returning EOF.

When null-termination is used in network protocols, the data to be sent has to be prepared in order to remove/escape any nulls. This process is called byte stuffing, and naturally it could result in serious inefficiency if a long string of nulls occurred in the input data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_Overhead_Byte_Stuff...
I’ve had that happening at a startup I worked at, it was horrible and miserable, exactly like you described, engineering went from being an interesting craft to a mere process over a few months, after an experienced VP was brought in and the original tech leads who effectively led the teams while the startup was growing were “demoted” to ICs. And this is all while the company was growing very healthily and focusing on technical scale. Internal speculations hinted at the fact that VCs pressured the founders to bring in “adult supervision”.

Slowly the VP started bringing in new managers (usually first tier of management, directly managing software engineers) that were fully on board with his vision of engineering == process, I worked with these people and they were horrible from the technical point of view and completely uninspiring as managers (think about people who spent the past 10 years rotting in inefficient teams in Cisco/IBM/etc). Soon enough everything in the company had to go through jira in a very scary, inefficient and plainly annoying way (i.e. slack conversations were frowned upon, everything had to be tracked with tickets). It became a chain of assembly in a manufacturing factory.

I had the misfortune to participate in a few of those internal management meetings, and it was scary as hell: instead of talking about customers, mission, visionary features (this was still a small/medium startup fighting to get market share) all the managers were talking about was process and irrelevant details related to minutiae of jira. The VP was super happy. Crazy.
I don’t think you are greedy actually.

You are dissatisfied, yes, but you aren’t making a ton of money.

Your nervous system is just disregulated, talk to a somatic therapist.

Also, try actually making more money and figuring out how to overcome your internal blocks.
It’s weird how in China QR codes are basically ubiquitous and yet the rest of the world basically ignores them. The difference as far as I can tell is WeChat, which basically everyone has, has great QR code support built in

A large portion of the North Virginia area commercial sector relies heavily on the services and manufacturing requested by the federal government.

Do not underestimate the power of locality. It is a big factor in marketing. Having face time with clients is the chief reason you win jobs.

for that reason a lot of the federal contractors are baked in and grown from Northern Virginia.
The only reliable solution for temptation is to give in to it.

Why not just devote yourself obsessively to getting money?

Either you’ll get it and see what that’s like, or you’ll learn you don’t actually have sufficient drive to do it, or the right skills.

I mean everyone’s got to do something all day. Just make sure to have a set of ethics and values and continue to abide by them during this pursuit.
The best bet would be to try to sell it locally. It may take a long time to find the right buyer, but knowing that the instrument is used and treasured by a musician may appease the sentimental side just as much or even more than keeping it around as a piece of furniture.
