The top end of teacher scale in APS in Arlington County is $157,029 [0].

Not saying they don't deserve it, far from it, just saying there are plenty of high paying jobs (tech or otherwise) in the DC area.

This is on the Go 1.13 roadmap, tho hasn't been announced as such.

It has dropped the dependency on Go 2 Generics described in the initial proposal.

Yeah, Wall Street has much more experience in this. Whenever there would be something illegal to discuss, there’d be a phone call between our personal cell phones (company lines were recorded).
Scientific laws are just quantified observations.
These kinds of blog posts are always awful.
"These cash-grab books about teaching kids to program are bad so teaching your kids to program is bad." Throw in some anecdotal evidence about how the author is doing it right and then show off to the internet.

It's not like there isn't a better underlying point that could have been discussed (forcing STEM on kids) but the author didn't.
The SoC window is not 0 to 100%, it's might be eg. 15 - 75 % or something. That's also why you don't notice battery degradation, since the window might be moving (keeping constant energy limits for 0 and 100% charged).

For kWh capacity it's just a matter of counting the cells. Actual kWh will vary abit by measuring technique but I assume there is a way to drain the nominal Wh:s from them.
That's the sort of thing that got Microsoft deemed an abusive monopoly, isn't it? Handicapping APIs when used by competitors?
Honestly, unless you have some crazy tech there is no way you can complete with Google and AWS in this space. The Google API does this in real-time too (think what is backing Google Home, etc). The new deepmind wavenet tech is getting way better at sounding natural [1]. I think your only option would be to use these APIs, slap a front end on it, and try to undercut everyone in the market (and quickly). But, it is a race to the bottom, and you likely have a brief window to make some real money. Plus, this is typically a one time purchase for most folks and not a subscription business. So, you'll constantly be chasing customers.

I explored this idea, also the speech-to-text option, and when you run the numbers you'll need thousands of hours per day just to keep the lights on. Probably not worth it given you'll constantly be tracking new customers down. One option might be to target news companies and try to make automated news castings or something and try to get consulting fees + using your custom tech. But, I suspect it would need to be the tech + some other offering to differentiate you from everyone else that will be doing this.

Not trying to dissuade you. Just telling you what I think about it after looking at this and building out a few prototypes.

I don't see a righteous battle.

You mentioned Emacs as a solution which has a Rust plugin that has problems like most other Rust tooling. Yes, Rust's tooling landscape is immature and still a work in progress.

Obviously you can just forgo editor integration all together. But you can do that in any editor.
That’s the whole point of this legislation, and one of the reasons the legislation specifically supports the death penalty is to allow this legislation to be used by Australia to support the USA, where the death penalty still exists.
There are at least 230 games released according to https://deepmind.com/research/alphago/alphazero-resources/

Agreed that it would be nice to get all 1000 (or maybe there are more? Since these seem to have come from two matches played under different conditions, and they mention pitting AZ against Stockfish in many other sets of conditions) and it really shouldn't compromise DeepMind's IP.
Do you have kids?

As a parent, the idea of exposing my kids to the internet is frightening. There are so many paths by which they can get exposed to stuff they shouldn't be exposed to. I, personally, think that attempts to make more of the internet child friendly are good. The internet as it exists today is like walking down the Main Street of some town, except that people surprise you by randomly jumping out from behind mailboxes and shrubs and engaging in hardcore sex on the sidewalk. It's insane.
I understand adding bug compatibility in the days of IE6, but in the days of Chromium, why not just fix the bug in Chromium source?

If anything, FB gave away too much to Developers early on, making it difficult to pivot to the Apple model of facilitating credit card payments and paying 70% to Developers.

Hence the recurring theme of "Data Reciprocity" in the U.K. acquired docs. FB needed something, if not revenue, to justify the Developer's ongoing use of platform.
There is no single project lead; there are OWNERS in various directories who make decisions collectively. I would be thrilled to see more non-Google OWNERS.

The decision-making process varies based on where in the codebase you are. Blink has a lot of details on this, because it's what impacts the web platform and where we've needed to work with the most external input; you can read the various process summaries on https://www.chromium.org/blink . Things are less well-specified as you move up the stack because there's been less need to specify them. Perhaps that will change going forward.

Employee participation is the same as for Opera, Intel, Samsung, Yandex, etc. today: review and commit code, be an OWNER, participate on the mailing lists. Chromium tries to be a true open-source project.

As for disagreements about direction, I think the existing web platform discussions among all vendors provide an example of how disparate companies can come together and try to agree directionally. People from Brave, Opera, etc. already participate in those forums despite basing their browsers on the Chromium core. Blink sets a high bar for shipping features that have interop risks, so it's already true that the goal is consensus rather than a fractured web. And I'm sure Microsoft would not be keen to use Chromium if they didn't feel like they would have significant directional input where desirable.

Most of the concerns expressed in these comments seem reasonable on their face but also sound like the people expressing them haven't actually contributed to Chromium/Blink. I encourage people to chip in changes and even express opinions on our mailing lists. We try to welcome such contributions :)
I deadass pre-planned being asleep during my second hour of high school, after recognizing that whatever alertness I summoned in the walk, the bus, and first interactions of the day would dissipate by then. If a study hall was an option, I would take it and sleep at my desk. If it wasn't, I would still sleep at my desk and try to cold-test my way into a D.

When it counted? Each degree the climate changes is worse than the last. The first .5 degree of climate warming was probably actually a good thing but going from 1.0 to 1.5 isn't and 2.0 to 2.5 is much worse than that. We don't know if low lying Pacific islands are doomed and if we'll have to be accepting a bunch of refugees but it's possible we can save them. What we almost certainly still have the power to prevent is tens of millions of people in India from dying in heatwaves where the dew point exceeds survivable temperatures without air conditioning. We don't actually know where runaway positive feedback loops might be.

Hi, I'm Alex. I'll solve your problem in something related to programming: 1) web/mobile/desktop, 2) data science/machine learning, 3) security & 4) blockchain/bitcoin.

I'm stronger in the first 2 areas. And less strong, but pretty interested still in the last 2.

At the moment I'm available part-time because I'm working for my client on a Sharetribe.com web service.

Southwest Airlines for a long time just focused on point-to-point flights, avoiding money-losing flight patterns that routed passengers through a Chicago to New York type connection. Additionally, SWA only maintained 737's, and free checked baggage allowed for faster onboarding and deplaning, and therefore, faster turnaround times. Eventually, this little airline became the largest airline after the major airlines botched their oil hedging, customer service, etc.

From an outsiders view, Lyft looks much more operationally focused. Instead of legally battling a bunch of different countries, it eyes only the biggest market, allowing it to slowly expand after it sees how Uber fares in each country. Instead of settling a lawsuit over allegedly stealing self-driving car technology, it is focusing on its core product. Instead of buying 19-month-old scooter company for $2B, it is spending money on its core value proposition.

At some point, investors might not hand over Uber any more cash. Meanwhile, Lyft could get to profitability more quickly while Uber deals with acquisition/project "hell" as Elon would say. As an outsider looking in, Lyft looks like it is playing the long game, drafting behind Uber until Uber catches another edge and slips.
No, that’s what you have to do in his position. If Zuckerberg sends out a mail like “can you get me information on how flowers are sold in China,” a SVP will delegate to a VP, a product marketing manager will fly to China, they’ll prepare a 200 page slide deck because this is “for Mark.” It’s very hard as a CEO with absolute power to participate in a conversation without dominating it and this is his best effort to do so.
Me too. I've been using Firefox for quite a while now (on a Fairphone 2, which is rather slow) and it performs fine and never crashes.

I particularly love the possibility of opening multiple links at once in the background, and buffering them until I switch to the Firefox app.
I also very much related to this, the two exceptions I find awkward from the command line are:
* Doing partial adds with `git add -p`. I see the hunk it presents see what I want from it, but then sometimes have to go through several iterations of splitting, skipping etc.. A visual tool (even like the tool in vim-fugitive) is a huge improvement. At the end of the day I'm still looking at the staged diff before committing
* Looking at diff or blame logs. Once again these are super low risk for unexpected behavior, and for larger changes that span multiple files, I find the shiny editor features make it easy to see the context quickly.
off topic but I'm dying to know: why is the "American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)" in the "People" section of that IANA well-known URI list?
Well, idk about Win10, but in 8 Microsoft obviously thought a UI should be made out of tables, just as they did in '95.
UWP was truly the worst of both worlds.

First you have to use asynchronous I/O which means you can't easily port Win32 apps to UWP.

Second you have to use Win32 which means if you don't know Win32 you have to learn Win32 + asynchronous I/O.

No wonder Microsoft told people to just write client-side web applications if they want to write UWP apps which is also dumb. If people wanted to write web applications they could just make web applications and be crossplatform.

I know reporters like to string along Microsoft and Intel because they are afraid they won't get any review samples or interviews if they tell the truth but had reviewers not gone along with the lies Microsoft and Intel might have been prevented from some of the own goals they have scored in the past ten years.

(e.g. every time a new intel integrated graphics comes out, arstechnica will say "finally intel integrated graphics don't suck"... they'll say it the next time too. intel thought they could destroy NVIDIA and ATI and capture more money out of each PC sale but instead the GFX card companies were saved by deep learning and cryptocurrencies. In the meantime, phones had better graphics than the integrated GFX from intels so people had one less reason to buy a PC. Systematicaly Intel has tried to squeeze every 1/10 of a penny out of their customers and ecosystem rather than delivering as much value as they can to their customers. Hyperscalers are pissed and Intel might have to drop out of the server market by 2022 once they have a choice between AMD and ARM)

I hope it is not too late for Microsoft to give up on "Windows Lite"; it seems like they are obsessed with the idea that people like Windows because it is a great OS. Actually people like Windows because it has great applications and driver support. Take that away and you might as well have AmigaOS or BeOS or something.

I won't get my hopes up because there is two things about those people:

They don't listen.

Consistently invest an amount that you are comfortable with. It's called dollar cost averaging. I'd personally keep dry powder for when the market is far beyond the standard deviation of historical records. 2008 and 2018 would both be years this is true. Shorting though is only for the brave or stupid.

Personally, I put a certain amount in every quarter.
I asked the same question yesterday and it seems that FB acquired Onavo. They joined this data with the rest of their user data, and then used it to make anti-competitive decisions.

It'd be like if Apple bought Appannie, matched the behavior with their existing customer database, and then used the data to delist Spotify from their app store because it competes with iTunes.
Carbon from the gas reacts with air so you need to factor the mass of the oxygen the car uses as well to produce CO2 and other emissions. It's been a long time since chemistry class but you could calculate the end mass of the CO2 using teh atomic weights of carbon and oxygen used in the inputs, or there's probably a website that will do the math for you.
Noting that you can’t seek legal advice because you’re not allowed to talk to anyone about the request.
It's not unreasonable when you consider this in terms anticompetitiveness and related laws.

Imagine if Microsoft just came along one day and literally banned any office software, including LibreOffice etc. from running on it's OSs.

Imagine if Nissan bought up a bunch of gas chains in the US and refused to sell gas to ... to let's say ... GM cars.

Or the electric company, which had invested in some solar panel outlays, decided to ban all other 3rd party solar panels from the grid.

These things are always a little fuzzy, but they are real.

Also - the lack of user clear consent is another one ie telling users that apps 'cannot extract their data' but in reality, they are selling it to Netflix.

FB can legitimately explain a way a lot of issues lately, but this one is bad. I think it's far worse than the Cambridge Analytica scandal in which case they weren't really doing anything wrong, just late to maybe close off said APIs.
this is so simple its worthless

It looks like you've been using HN primarily for nationalistic political comments. That breaks the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Could you please review those and use HN as intended, i.e. for intellectual curiosity, from now on?

The test we apply is whether an account has crossed the line of using HN primarily for political battle. If that is the case, we ban the account, regardless of which politics or nation they're fighting for or against. That is because these battles have a way of consuming everything if allowed to, and therefore must not be allowed to.

Further explanations of how we moderate this are here for anyone who wants more: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
The Five Ways Peloton Weave Community and Content Beautifully
I picture MZ screaming and hitting things because the adults won't let him do whatever he wants. I just don't see him as being the calm, cool, collected type of villain.
I prefer the '90s overall. There are good points to the modern web/internet world, but given a choice the '90s design is a better paradigm. Of course this assumes that one does their respective paradigm well, there were a lot of bad designs in the '90s that are worse than today's equivalent. However I contend that if effort had been continued in the '90s direction the result would be better.

Again, there are some major points in favor of the current internet/web world. For any "program" which you will use rarely it isn't the worth the cost to install the program.
I'm not really sure that's true at all.

If all of my friends are using Uber and I'm using Lyft, I get the same amount of value out of Lyft whether anyone else is using it or not.

Now, there is some network effect with new drivers signing up for a more dominant platform, making it harder to use others. Since drivers can (and usually do, in my experience) sign up for multiple platforms. That effect is greatly diminished.
Hmmm, I swear, there was a 500+ comment thread on the front page just a moment ago.

I think a big part of it was the community that formed around the Linux brand. I have a feeling that it could have been Minix, if it was properly open source at the time. But a lot of people in the community were promoting Linux as an alternative to Dos/Windows (based on my recollection of Usenet and BBS postings at the time), whereas GNU, BSD were pushed as an alternative to Unix. And Minix's aim was educational, although Minix 386 (a set of community patches to the system) was more aimed to make Minix production capable.
I've long been in the camp that we worry about climate change more than makes rational sense.

I'm not saying we should ignore it, but we often overstate. It's worth remembering that the effects on QoL will be completely eclipsed by technological progress within that period and that the timescales that GW happen over (50+ years) are long enough that most people will hardly ever notice it. Gradual relocation will be our primary means of fighting it. Other cities will be raised, like Chicago was in the 1850s.

FUD is not a genuine approach to invoke action - which has sadly been the main approach of many. We should remain reasoned.
How is the INF dead? Trump announced he is withdrawing the US from it but he has no authority to do so unilaterally and requires the approval of the Senate to actually withdraw. That approval has not happened and, as far as I am aware, the Senate has not even discussed the matter yet. It's just being used to strongarm Russia into complying with the treaty after they violated it at least once (that I am aware of, anyway)
That's a good point! I suppose the grass is always greener...
There are very few such climate scientists. Scientific skeptics mostly dispute the degree of warming projected, or some of the anticipated consequences.

Oh, so when you say “Eviation’s Alice is an all-electric, nine-person aircraft” you mean “Eviation claims Alice will be an all-electric, nine-person aircraft” and when you say “this isn’t another claim by another overoptimistic purveyor of electric dreams” you mean “this probably is another claim by another overoptimistic purveyor of electric dreams.”

you're not wrong but careful not to fall into the internet's favorite form of broken depressive reasoning: splitting

the way you get mass action is by getting a mass of individuals to act. there is technically no other way. thats why I left the 'individual' stuff to the very end and made sure to explain how its not really about your footprint as much as its pulling your oar in the overall solution.
You can teach your kids to problem solve, sure and more emphasis should be put on that. So once children choose to start programming, they will already have the knowledge to think critically and will have a much easier time resolving issues. That is what is so good about critical thinking. It can be applied to any field. Hope what I said makes sense.
No that's not what s/he is saying, or anything like it.

Another option is git add -p, which asks you about each change so you can review them once more and maybe leave some (parts of) them for future commits.
Old Android had the back button on the right. Google fixed that mistake on Android 4.0, but Samsung chose to keep the old order.
Here in the Czech Republic, and I believe it's similar in most of Europe, several months of no-questions-asked guarantees for mattresses are very common. This is different from warranty (common to be 25 years).
This is an interesting question. Haven't there been much warmer periods in our planet's history that were followed by an ice age?

It is hard to sort out exactly what climate change means.
