They will continue to support it apparently, so no need to switch yet, unless you want to expand it beyond just Steam.

But a Pi will likely not run it as well tbh, always notice some lag, where with the Steam link it's buttery smooth.
Silverblatt is an amazing interviewer of authors, and a deep but totally unpretentious reader. He's been interviewing writers for almost 30 years and still does every week. I'd recommend the podcast version (or radio, if you live in the US) to anyone who wants to improve their experience of reading fiction.
It also won't listen when you say "this is not a login field", super fun.
>Laugh tracks are of their time. It's unfair to pick TBBT out as a bad show because it has a laugh track.

No, it's a bad show because it's badly written, cliche, and lowest common denominator humor, just with nerds as subjects instead of some regular families as per usual.
Nice! I really enjoyed his book "Disrupted", will check this one too.
I don't necessarily care about the gender politics angle, I think it's just the tale of Bob learning to be a single parent. My problem is with the basics, the basic plot wasn't very well though out. I think Bird really shot himself in the foot by deliberately avoiding a time skip.

Then at the end of the movie supers are legal again thanks to one judge's ruling even though we've been told in previous movies that this is a government ban. There were so many little details that just wrapped themselves up nicely with no thought.
> So saying they don't care about something they use daily is ....wrong.

Its not. They just dont care if something is open source or not. Maybe they would happily use a free, closed source library instead.
You could laugh at the characters and the show still be good (if the characters deserve to be laughed at). The important thing is the quality of the joke.

> HTML5 rather than XHTML

Huh? Parsing HTML5 is much more complicated than XHTML, and everything else is about the same.
"nothing to hide" is itself an attempt to hide something. For example, it implies that when a neighbour gets disappeared, I'm not going to film the agents doing it, or raise a fuss in any way. In practice, it usually implies obedience to a range of criminals and abusers, and the the pledge to not pose a seriously meant threat to them.

I say "in practice" to exclude native tribes and such; most of us don't enjoy the option of being neutral. That's not a matter of opinion, it's just a matter of unpacking everything there is to unpack.

If this offends some people too much to partake in the discussion of our responsibilities, and what we best should be ashamed of, if we want future generations to even have the option to not be born complicit and deceived (they might not even rationalize it as benign like is done today, for them it could be all there is), I would prefer to discuss with those who have a thicker skin, rather than discuss something that is more palatable but has nothing to do with reality.

The situation determines what is required of people. The whims and abilities of people don't determine what the situations is. Any offense people might feel for being called complicit or foolish, I see and raise by the offense done to countless of people who had their rights denied in all sorts of ways or even were murdered.
Except that Google has a credible threat: they can delete your account, including your email, your Android applications, your Youtube videos, etc.
I agree, and as a gateway to his fiction I'd maybe recommend the short story 'The Depressed Person' (https://harpers.org/wp-content/uploads/HarpersMagazine-1998-...) which is characteristically both very depressing and very funny.
So like what happens every week on many actual startups?
But for some reason the pay doesn't increase. So apparently the "offer/demand" law doesn't work for salaries.

So why do we see only people complaining about the shortage of teachers, and not an increase in offered salary? Maybe cutting taxes to tech companies so they come to SF instead of the Peninsula wasn't such a good idea?
> Those protocols are a lot more complicated than HTTP. So it's much harder for a small group to implement them.

Why does a small group need to reimplement HTTP/2 and HTTP/3? It's important that we have more than 1 or 2 implementations, but we don't need more than a small handful, and we definitely don't need every independent group reimplementing them. We just need enough that anyone who needs it has access to an implementation that's usable for them, whether it's bundled with the OS (such as Apple's Foundation framework including a network stack that supports HTTP/2), or available as a library (such as Hyper for Rust, or I assume libcurl has HTTP/2 support).

10 Most Common Acne Myths You Should Ignore
As someone who really admired Lin when I was younger, I now think that he embodies exactly the kind of ironist DFW criticised, too afraid of being seen as uncool to ever publicly care about anything.
It's a continuation of pretty how much Africans lived in the past, before colonisation. My theory is when colonisers arrived it was probably too much of a headache to try and assign everyone a title deed. Lead smelters and mines will need government permits. I meant you can build any house that you pretty much want.

Most people will acquire the land in their village. Typically a young couple wanting their own home. There are two options. If you family has some land available, you can just go inform the headman that you will be building your home there. Second option is you approach headman who keeps tabs on land that is available. He will show you were to build. The community is always consulted before land is allocated. For example someone may object that you are too close to them and your livestock might cause problems with his garden. Other objecttions might be that the family closest has a son who is going to build there in near future. The headman tends to be aware of all these maters though and he tends to have spots ready to allocate.

In the past we used to build Blair toilets[0]. People still fetch water from the well. Carrying the bucket on their head or pushing it in wheelbarrow. We are starting to dig boreholes (very expensive) and flushing toilets with septic tanks are starting to appear. Very few though have piped water. Gas stoves also starting to appear along with solar panels for lighting. We still have a long long way to go though.

Our model server just works with every format. We created our own DL framework and maintain that. Eg: We're the 2nd largest contributor to keras alongside having our own DL framework.

We've found it's easier to just have 1 runtime with PMML, TF file import, keras file import, onnx interop coupled with endpoints for reading and writing numpy, apache arrow's tensor format, and our own libraries binary format.
We also have converters for r and python pickle to pmml as well.
Happy to elaborate if interested.

For ingest we typically allow storage of transformations, accepting raw images, arrays etc. We have our own HDF5 bindings as well but mainly for reading keras files. Could you tell me a bit about what you might want for ETL from HDf5?
It's an interesting question- which one helped me focus on my role and deliver? I can see in the abstract that distributed work can both demand and benefit from strong focus. In my case, when I was a "distributed" worker I had a much narrower scope of responsibility and along with that, less ability to gauge whether something was "good enough" to ship and perfectionism/procrastination and poor remote communication on my part really hampered my work. As an in-person worker, when we were betting the company I was able to constantly assess all work being done by all the company and pivot us and others to what was the most risk-mitigating thing we needed to do. When distributed, I suppose that was the role my Engineering VP was supposed to do and I was just focused on my narrow domain, but overall the company wasn't able to leverage my problem solving and triaging strengths and I was just a remote coder/designer resource with a task. When it was late, I knew it was bad, but I didn't have a sense of the consequences to the broader team (just my own job). In hindsight I think management was trying to shelter me from the stress and I respect that but I was really stunned at the end of the day how out of the loop I was. I was East Coast, CEO was East Coast but four hours away, some execs were West Coast, Engineering Lead was UK. I did a great job for them with engineering for in-person clients, but when I switched to being managed from overseas it really didn't work out. I always didn't want to interrupt the UK VP since he was so busy and/or because I was behind but the communication dynamic was ultimately dysfunctional for which I take more than half the responsibility. (I have since been on the flip side of that coin with a remote worker! It's an interesting challenge.)
It's not just gender politics. Incredibles 2 wasn't an animated film. It was a regular film with bland, unoriginal and in your face critique of modern world. For some reason it was animated.

For example, I can't imagine kids sitting through Screenslaver's monologue on society's vices when I as an adult was immediately bored out of my mind. Or, for god's sake, a meeting of world leaders to sign documents.

The whole movie was one inconsequential set piece after another with exactly one of them being funny and interesting: Edna.

Edit: can anyone explain to me why Frozone is a) so useless and b) given so much screentime?
The ruling specifically focused on the militia aspect militia. Quoting that ruling:

The prefatory clause comports with the Court’s interpretation of the operative clause. The "militia" comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense. The Antifederalists feared that the Federal Government would disarm the people in order to disable this citizens’ militia, enabling a politicized standing army or a select militia to rule. The response was to deny Congress power to abridge the ancient right of individuals to keep and bear arms, so that the ideal of a citizens’ militia would be preserved.

People conflate militia now a days with military, but they are not the same. The "militia" are the armed citizens of a state. And similarly the security of a free state is talking explicitly about security against government itself - not foreign invaders, which was the domain of the federal government. An armed population can prevent the imposition of tyrannical rule, an unarmed population cannot. In verbose modern text the amendment might read something like, "A well regulated and armed population being necessary for the protection of a state against tyranny, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Earlier this year, I wrote these tips to improve estimation: https://blog.amirathi.com/2018/02/05/science-of-software-est...

I will summarize it here:

- It's not just about code. New developers typically don't account time for testing, documentation, data migrations, backwards compatibility work and such

- Spend a few hours to discover unknowns. Unknown unknowns can rattle the estimation big time whereas known unknowns can be factored into estimation with some upfront research.

- Have a deeper conversation with product owners. Often you realize that some nice to have use case is taking 80% of the time and can be decoupled from the core feature. Win-Win.
Teachers at least can control the revenue stream fairly effectively by going out on strike next time their contract is up for renegotiation. If the schools shut down then local governments will find a way to raise the funds. Unfortunately that hurts the students but the only way to effect real change is to force the issue.
What do you mean by "freedom to extract money"? Charge and negotiate? If they don't have the right to negotiate fees for commercial use of their content, that sounds like quite a large missing part that needed adding.

Can you explicitly put down a case of something they couldn't do, but now can, and why you think that's a concern? Because I honestly just don't understand the point that people are trying to make with this.
Or just... you know, pay more?

Ah, but then you must raise managers’ wages too, because they obviously have to make more than your engineers. Okay, then I guess open sourcing your code is indeed the best option!

Well perhaps they don't care that much about the teacher shortage.

That's still supply and demand. A perfectly reasonable response to a shortage is to simple live with the consequences of the shortage.
Because that's where the money is.

VC are in SV and they want founders/CEOs close by. And founders/CEO want their engineers close by.

But honestly even if you really need your headquarters in SV (for VC money, network, saying you're a "Silicon Valley company", etc) your best bet is to open offices in other locations to hire engineers. Not only they can have a better standard of living even if you pay them less, but you will have less competition to hire and retain engineers.

There's the power of the refererendum (for instance, Prop C)

Prop C was a charter amendment, not a referendum.

"Referendum" has a specific legal meaning in CA and is almost never used because the signature threshold is the same as for Initiative statues that you can bend however you want. Referendum takes just as much work with far less utility.

a dedicated neighbor can stall construction for years by forcing reviews

Again a random "dedicated neighbor" has no power to "force" anything... even in SF. In SF, especially, it's money that talks.
I have a question for some other HNers that is kinda related to this topic.

I've got a library built solely by myself that I'm interested in open sourcing.

I'm tossing up between putting it on my own Github account, where it probably blends in with the rest, or putting it on the OSS page for the company I work for which, honestly, is a bit of a wasteland (numerous unused forks mainly)

I guess I just wonder what looks nicer on a resume. I would assume having something on an OSS Github org looks better but is it really? I don't recall ever looking at eg; a Google or Netflix project and looking into the authors vs looking into an individuals Github project.

I dunno, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts. I understand legalities come into play too but for this is more of a hypothetical.

Where does the post say anything about it being disabled for those languages or that Chrome "specifically" ignored this on ProtonMail?

It just says they had to turn off the suggest translations feature, which would apply to all sites/languages.
True. My anecdotes correlate with the issues someone raised here of VC bias against remote work which other people didn't seem to have any sympathy for so I figured I'd mention my real-world experiences.

I've worked with offshore resources on and off in my career and have a variety of more mundane (?more representative?) experiences pro and con.

In my experience, it's hard to transfer knowledge, wisdom, and strong (micromanaging?) technical/quality-oriented direction offshore. Onshore tech lead becomes a bottleneck. If there are strong persons offshore leading efforts, or some rotation onshore of people from offshore largely focused on communication I've seen it work out better.

Two downvotes for pointing out that it asks for permission to translate, and that the feature is pretty important if you're traveling in a foreign country and don't speak the language?
is that really true though for one of the world's most recognizable brands with a unique name?
Put it under your account, in case you stop working for the company. If that library gains traction, you can move it to its own ORG, which makes it easier to manage other contributors.

Finally look out if that project could be moved to other big OSS orgs at some point. I created some packages for the Atom editor, and when it became clear I couldn't maintain them, I found another ORGs that were able to pick it up.
Since you are making tool argument syntax highlighting a challenging but nice feature would be to be able to switch between command separators. For example in sed you can make a dense one liner with semicolons or expand it to multiple lines. Would be nice to read it expanded and copy as a one liner
Google also has additional power by simply not implementing things introduced by WHATWG participants. Case in point: the menu/menuitem elements which would have provided scriptless interaction in a limited way (removed from W3C HTML 5.2). Any small attempt to make the web more declarative by extending HTML is doomed since not essential because it can be implemented using JS.

WHATWG's specification process, putting the world's main communication medium into the hands of browser vendors with an interest to eliminate competition and define entirely new Turing runtimes (WASM), and advertisers who turn around and create competing mechanisms (AMP), then not actually ever delivering a standard (the "living standard" nonsense) is broken, and has been for a long time.
Microsoft's browsers got this functionality pretty early as well (I believe around the IE9/10 timeframe), though they of course had and still have numerous other issues that would make them undesirable for regular usage.

a lot of current residents showing up at planning meetings

Do you go to such meetings? Do you watch them on cable access or view the tapes at City Hall? (Heck, into the 1990s, the only available video of San Jose city council or SCC Supervisors meetings were if we taped it ourselves.)

In reality, almost all such meetings are lightly attended at best unless a "progressive" interest group transports then in.

Almost all Bay Area city council try to portray themselves as "progressives". Even in stodgy San Jose, not one councilmember is a Republican.
Of course, you just know that the answer from most of the hardcore Linux people will be that you should "get involved" with the projects you named and contribute code - whether or not you actually know how to program is inconsequential.

Most users of HTTP have never been too concerned with it's overhead

End users complain all the time about latency. And that includes the latency to your small website hosted on a single server hundreds of milliseconds from your visitor... certainly more than it includes google's websites.

What you really mean is that small website operators generally don't care that their visitors are irritated by how slow their website is... and just brush it off and ignore it because they have no solution to the problem.

Maybe you should consider h2 as being for the benefit of visitors across the internet, and a benefit for those who care about performance.

It says it all that even though h2 is not required, small website have adopted it across the globe... now at 1/3rd of all websites, and growing.
