Profanity as a part of speech. She gets it.

Lazy profanity carries most of the value in the expression.

Carlin: Fuck the fucking fuckers.

Not lazy profanity adds to strong value, and is valid and potent.

You picked well. I have one of those in my life too. She is a gem.
I guess there may be some situations where one year of experience more or less makes a big difference, but it doesn't seem like that big a deal? It would be like hiring someone one year younger.
Nah, I feel for the disproportionately rich. They’re constantly blamed for society’s ills, for the sin of having wealth, to the point where I’m sure something like 15% of the population would be happy with dragging them into the streets and beheading them. I’m tired of hearing about the “disproportionately rich” and the unoriginal idea that their resources are the only solution. It’s tiring to see people continue piling on with that rhetoric.
We aren't a social network. We're a productivity tool like your calendar app, with just a few product tweaks to help you stay connected to your close friends if you're having trouble doing so. If you're already in touch with everyone you want to be in touch with, that's awesome! :)

If you have some people in your life that you wish you were more in touch with, but aren't either because you feel you're too busy, or because of distance, that's where Millow can help.

Naproxen (anti-inflammatory) isn't the kind of thing that you want to be on long-term, if it can be avoided, either. I have just been diagnosed with autoimmune psoriatic arthritis. I had three months of Naproxen, which made it possible to walk a couple of miles each day, but they were basically handed out as a "Here, this should take down the inflammation, now wait for your specialist appointment."

Having said that, I'm not sure Naproxen is any worse than the Prednisolone (steroid) tablets I'm now on for two months while I wait for the Methotrexate (nasty cytotoxic) to work.

If there's a stem cell treatment on the horizon, I'd love to hear about it.
Are you still going to be worse after a month of work?

Are companies that short-term-oriented?
>I'm just saying from the perspective of an employer evaluating two candidates, if all other things are equal, and one took a year off and one didn't, and the employer chooses the candidate who was at work continuously, they weren't specifically discriminating against "parental leave".

Gender aside, this is still discrimination based on a persons “experience”, as you call it, or very simply: their employment status.

This is against the law. Plain and simple. Look at some of the laws enacted over the years, starting in 2011 [1].

I know this is irony, but making the joke obvious to the few that might take it seriously: it's not so good to have that visibility when the cause is the author cursing security researchers away because they are trying to delay a couple days your fraudulent CPO by asking you to patch blatantly obvious and basic security holes.
An interesting aside from an iPad Pro review noted that Apple's silicon designers are focused on the best design for the purpose of that particular piece of hardware.

I think that's an important insight on how and why Apple is lapping the field on the processor side.

They've hired the best team they could and freed them from all constraints other than physics based ones.

Take the best available node process, sprinkle in any custom algorithm acceleration necessary for voice/ai/camera/ssd throughput, and wattage consumption vs battery, figure out heat dissipation constraints, then max out performance.

No need to create a variety of silicon at slightly different price points- iPhone XR gets the same chip as XS, despite being a cheaper phone. New iPad does get one, since it has to push more pixels and has thermal headroom.

Meanwhile Intel or Qualcomm are creating very artificially specialized hardware at a multitude of price points- while also having to keep off features on their SoC's that don't have broad applicability.

The genius of this move into hardware is paying off more each generation.
Their distributed build system is better, and they have better tools for debugging distributed system problems.

My impression is that for local stuff their tooling is not much better than public. They have a lot more reliance on logging.

I’ve never worked there so this is just all second hand info.

Backpacking through Thailand there was (as far as I could see) pretty equal representation in almost all different job roles, from street vendors to travel agents to IT. (Come to think of it, tuk-tuk drivers and taxi drivers were universally male, though...)

Prostitution is not punished in Thailand and it's cheaply available. Maybe that's why males don't bother harassing women?
Show HN: RabbitHole – YAML Configured SSH Tunnels
This makes a very nice letsencrypt proxy.
Ok lets compare these approaches rationally, especially from a user perspective.
If you let the service provider choose/generate the password it might as well generate your keys for you, there really isn't much of a difference. From a credential management perspective there really isn't a difference either between a long non-human readable password and a long non-human readable private key. They basically suffer from the same problem, neither can be used without access to the credential manager.
The only "advantage" passwords in that scenario have is that you don't need to sign anything you can just send it to the relying party however when you rely on password managers to input your credentials anyway that manager can manage signing as well right.
I'm not advocating to use PKI instead of passwords just that forcing the use of password managers through very complicated long forced passwords has in my opinion not much of an advantage over PKI when both are equally opaque for casual users.

> I also find it deeply depressing that "a person should be able to take a year off work" is now utopian, fluffy unicorn ideology on a forum for forward-thinking technologists.

There is nothing stopping you from taking a year off work. Go right head. You won't get paid, and they won't hold your job, and you will have gap to explain when you are interviewing for a position when you want to return. Don't expect the world to bend backwards and ignore realities so you can take a year off.
Raku Perl 6.d [pdf]
The cognitive dissonance in this post is giving me a headache.

You don’t get to be the gatekeeper of what constitutes an open AOSP phone or anything else. If you say AOSP has a better track record than Apple in terms of privacy and security, on what basis do you get to say “except all the AOSP phones with Google services and misc crapware and insecure hacks slapped on by their no name Chinese OEMs?” Those are open too. How does that exception serve the hundreds of millions of people walking around with old unpatched ‘open’ phones full of insecure junk-ware and manufacturer hacks?
The claim was that nothing else will take off to the point of becoming a password killer.

2FA doesn't try to replace passwords.
To answer some of the questions as to why people do this. To try to get ahead. To try and advance. To move up. If you don't hustle, if you aren't trying to advance then how could you ever expect to move up financially?

Think of it in the small scale at a fast food joint. You bus tables, sweep etc. If you do just that you can do just that forever. You can also do more to try and get promoted. You can also do less and get fired. If you want more money per paycheck then you'll want to get promoted. To get promoted you have to hustle. You have to do more. No one will give it to you if you weren't already born into it.
Physical analogues occupy exactly the same epistemological status as numerical models. Before computers were used, scientists used to build physical analogues.
Laser fusion is not over-unity because lasers are horribly inefficient. If lasers were significantly better we could generate fusion power by repeatedly laser-imploding pellets of D-T fuel. We can already generate fusion this way but it takes more power to run the lasers than you get from the fusion (after conversion losses).
Declining Pascal’s Wager just because two religions are equally probable makes you Buridan’s ass (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buridan%27s_ass): a donkey who starves to death because he can’t choose between two identical bales of hay. But I think there are probably decision-theoretic ways of even refining Pascal’s Wager; not every religion is mutually exclusive, or holds mutually exclusive beliefs about the afterlife, and not every set of religious beliefs is equally probable. Also, from both an EV and a pure probability perspective, I would tend to avoid religions that seem designed to extract as much money as possible from its followers.
> for web apps you use the same way to give permissions to use your device sensors you would use for a native app

Which would mean any malicious site a user got tricked into visiting can access the native API. (Downloading an app is more deliberate than visiting a site and instinctively clicking to make the pop-up go away.)

All I'm saying is there are non-financial reasons why an OS designer might sandbox websites from the native API.
Slightly off topic: I remember reading on HN about a tool that explored all code paths in a binary automatically and used it to effectively find bugs and even generate valid data. For example it could generate valid jpeg images just by exploring the valid code path of a jpeg decoder. Does anyone remember that tool's name?
There's a similar attack in PoW: a 51% attacker can just make empty blocks.

Either way, if your attacker is persistent and too dominant to beat, you can fix it with a hard fork. In PoW you change hash functions; you can generally do this only once for each hash implemented in ASICs and then you're down to general-purpose hardware and new functions don't help you.

In PoS, you can make a fork that simply eliminates the attacker's stake. You can continue this as many times as necessary.

This is, of course, the last-ditch remedy, applicable to any PoS protocol. Researchers do aim for "liveness," and can prove how dominant an attacker has to be to break it.
Either (a) they want you or (b) they want someone like you. If (a), they find any reason for hiring you, if (b) they find any reason for not hiring you. This explains most of the interview dynamics, especially at large companies.
> However, what surprises me is that Apple is doubling down on performance. The processing capability of iPhones continues to rise, even when we see that the software that uses that capability has diminishing returns.

Moving the goal posts on performance, beyond what is reasonably necessary, simply incentivizes and challenges developers to start making bigger and better app experiences. This is a passive form of ecosystem insulation that further separates Apple customers from Android customers.

There was a meme a couple years ago, maybe, that on Snapchat you could tell which one of your friends used and iPhone and which ones used Android purely based on the image quality of their photos/videos (I don’t think this is still true). If Apple can silently get devs to start developing apps for the A12, the gap between an Apple experience and an Android experience gets wider and wider IMO.

This is an interesting bit that HN seems to discuss a lot:

Some community members believe "Perl 6" is a very confusing name: it uses a digit as part of
the name and it conflicts with the name of a sister language "Perl". Some outsiders don't realize
"Perl 6" is a brand new language—vastly different than "Perl"—and so avoid it, thinking they
know what it is already. At the same time, some who love "Perl" come to "Perl 6" and feel tricked,
because the language isn't the next release of that language, but an entirely different one.

To clear up the confusion, Larry Wall created a second name for the language, a "stage name" if
you will. That name is "Raku". It can be used interchangeably with the original "Perl 6" name or
even be combined with it to form "Raku Perl 6". Pick the one that works the best for you and use
it consistently
London is a special kind of hell. Of course, you can have a meaningful and fulfilled life outside of London, but maybe unsurprisingly for a city built on finance (in the modern area?), it attracts people who can only think of money, not cost. Or, for those less driven, maybe moving to London is the equivalent of going to uni, you do it because everybody else is and you don't have a better plan. IDK, I didn't get it and still don't.

For Americans, I imagine NYC or LA is similar. The traffic alone would keep me out of LA.
A function passed to a functor as you described it seems to take only a single argument, which is the value(s) from inside the container.

But then, a function passed to a monoid seems to take two values, as in your examples. (addition, multiplication, concatenation) How is this reconciled?
Yes.

Engagement is measured across the entire subscriber cohort. consumer "councils" are made up of a selection of subscribers, so we can adequately get data from all sections.

We had a webapp, the users were very engaged. We replaced the webapp with a native app, we got way more people who very engaged, we also got loads more people who were mildly engaged. The overall effect was more engagement from a wider base of subscribers.

Lowering the bar to entry, proper offline caching of content, faster loading, just a better more seamless experience.

Interview with Jacob, a Site Reliability Engineer who works remotely
I don't follow. I meant to suggest that humans will never agree on the same structure of premises and argumentation, and that we simply cannot get past that, to a space above or beyond historical language, to an uncontested consensus. But if not, on what grounds can we possibly say that one particular conception of morality is True or Rational? That is what is required of moral realism - which I take, as an atheist, to be as odd and implausible as theism.

Your hotel example is pretty absurd, because there's no friction involved in carrying around a hotel room key.

Amazon handled this great when I set up Prime Video streaming on my Sony Blu-Ray player. I don't remember the exact sequence because it was 8 years ago, but it was something like this:

1. Go to Amazon on my computer, log in, and tell them I'm trying to set up a new device for Prime Video streaming. They ask me for the make and model and serial number, which was available on the device in the Prime Video app.

2. Amazon gives me an integer. I don't remember the length, but I'm pretty sure it was in the 4-6 digit range.

3. On the Blu-Ray player, give that integer to the Amazon Prime Video app, and it completes the setup.
Even in cases like Cassandra it's far from flawless, mostly due to the massive complexity. Failover works great, compaction works great, schema changes work great, repairs work... but what happens if two of those happen at once? Or all of them? There have been quite a few bugs over the years that involve corner cases when the various coordination and deferred-work systems interact.

Most businesses are small businesses. Think restaurants, cafés, small retailers, etc...

Most are owned by individuals who have families, employ individuals with families and cumulatively small businesses such as these employ a rather large percentage of the labour force.

For many individuals and their families, the fact they can put up a small amount of capital and start a business is the only way they can ensure a future for themselves and their children.

Not all business owners are already rich SV venture capitalists or multi-millionaires. And his point is valid - how much risk do you force upon blue-collar small business owners who are already operating on small margins?
>Even in prehistoric times, it was generally understood that there was societal benefit to letting women take care of children

> Anyone who wants the benefits of owning a business can be subject to those rules.

Oh, those benefits of running a business. You know, like working more hours than everyone else, putting your own money on the line, being the last to get paid. Here's some hard facts:

1. Most businesses are small businesses

2. Most people are employed in small to medium businesses

3. Most businesses fail because they lose money

If you push for more and more requirements of businesses to fulfill, only the biggest corporations will be able to survive, because those are the companies that can deal with all the regulation, all the legal risk, who figure out all the tax loopholes, who have the best standing with banks, etc.

You'll eventually kill all the competition from the bottom. There won't be any more artisan bakeries or coffee shops, there will be McDonalds and Starbucks. Everywhere. No more innovative software startups, only Facebook, Google, Microsoft, IBM and Apple.

I did no such redefinition. Though I also didn't downvote you, because I think it's a valid misunderstanding.

I'm arguing that mere truth is unknowable without faith. We have evidence of derangement all around us and it takes faith to proceed as though our actions are our own and are unclouded. From a bayesian perspective, one of our priors must be that there is some probability that the very mind that is doing the thinking may be of a nature that is unable to effectively reason. But there is no escape because the mind is the centre of all investigation.
Uber ATG Safety Report
I gather your point is that the employee gets the value rather than the rest of society. But that's just the broken window fallacy.

Most companies' margins are small. More than 90% of the value typically goes to someone else -- customers, other employees, suppliers (and their employees), etc. Even the business owners for a lot of small businesses are only scraping by. There is no guarantee that 0.75X value can outweigh 1.25X value just by going to one person rather than another, and all the usual reasons to expect that it won't.
