How did you come across these implementers? I’ve recently been thinking about a concept like this, and how effective I would be to have one, but I’ve never heard the term until you used it.

What does your group do? I’m very into the “crazy professor” work concept. I’d love to talk a little, even if just to see how others like myself are pursuing success in their own way.

I think the meaning of "concentration camp" hasn't changed, actually. How come you seem so certain that it has? Most of the time when concentration camps appear in the news, they are often not of the Holocaust variety.
Yep - I totally understand that. I wasn't commenting on wires ability to act as antennas in general - I was commenting on the addition of this wire to the UART for the purpose of wireless comms.

That addition is what makes your original point wrong : "Nothing is happening here that doesn't happen already with normal use of the UART"

Design Literacy by Steven Heller is a good comprehensive book about graphic design.

Here‘s a more general video you could watch now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBCa_jbxGfI

What‘s important to understand is that graphic design, architecture and product design did evolve at the same time, with similar underlying principles. It‘s all related.
The problem is that you're assuming I'm in SV, I'm in a small Swedish city and I'm seeing our _very_ windows heavy company starting to adopt Apple computers.

And when I think of the companies I worked for in London they were also increasing the Apple quotient of desktop/laptop machines.

Yes, this is anecdatum but I really can't tell you how strongly integrated Windows is at my company and we're still seeing adoption of Apple computers.

Regardless of that, Sysadmins and Developers tend to get to choose their OS at most sensible companies. (Every company I've worked for, barring the current, has allowed Linux; most even encouraged it)

I don't know how much the analogy holds, but when you're growing Peyote for consumption you want to let it grow a long time so it can produce as many of the alkaloids your looking to hallucinate on.

Grafting Peyote onto most cacti allow it to grow faster, but by reports doesn't increase the mescaline content since those chemical pathways are just as effective as they always are.

Interesting reading:

These data suggest that low-calorie sweetener consumption may deleteriously affect visceral fat deposition, a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality.

Mechanisms for the association between low-calorie sweetener use and progressively rising prevalence of abdominal obesity remain unknown. One potential explanation derives from the physiology of the brain food reward system.

Therefore, individuals who consume low-calorie sweeteners may compensate by over-eating in order to experience the expected satiety. Another possible mechanism may involve the gut microbiome.

Of course they are! Propaganda is much less effective when you constantly see conflicting evidence with your own lying eyes.

> In 20 years you could go full solar electric for such trips.

In 20 years major natural disasters (which presumably will get more frequent) will blow away your solar panels together with your house, the same as they do right now. Take Puerto Rico after the last hurricane, for example. Had it not been for diesel gas and its use for power generators a pretty dire situation would have become even more dire. It's pretty easy to transport diesel gas even to a island affected by a major hurricane. In contrast had the buildings been fitted with solar panels they would have very probably get blown away, and it would have been at least an order of magnitude more difficult to install them back (you would need technicians to install them on place, it's more difficult to transport a large quantity of solar panels over sea compared to just diesel or gasoline).

Thanks for the insight. I’ve only been working independently for a short two years and I’m constantly wondering if I should feel as weak as I do about it. Your analogy is very meaningful. You’re right - that billionaire never would have taken the job. Not that my goal is to be a billionaire (a few million would suffice XD), but more to be in a position where I get to call the shots in my own life.

Hope things are working out for you.
Wow. Founder here. Thank you!
Right, it's easy to make fun of the interviewers, but it seems incredibly unlikely to me that they would miss something like that on a resume (or that the interviewee would fail to bring it up). It's more likely that they just wanted someone who met some very specific requirements, and the people who were rejected simply failed to meet those requirements, even though they were possibly overqualified in other aspects.
> Google is free to do this for my website too, but they don't.

As my GGGGGP post said, that is the entire point of AMP. It can be validated safe to preload, which is not possible for HTML pages in general. So no, Google, Bing, Pinterest, Baidu, LinkedIn, and other sites that preload AMP pages are not free to do this for your website unless it is written in AMP.

Vital meta lesson from this:

When we see that repeated for many successful people, I hope the takeaway becomes: your interview process is probably not doing what you think it is. In some cases this extends to the entire work culture. E.g. workplaces that situate themselves in a mindset equivalent to "we must hire the best unicorns to possibly succeed". Other, better ones instead try to embody "we will continually improve our hires. we will help make them great. (oh, there are no unicorns.)"

It's very strategic on Microsoft's part.

They aren't the industry leader, so leading the conversation on regulation helps them to impact the market leader.

It also let's them steer the conversation on regulation before it becomes a conversation occurring outside their control/influence.

Self-regulation is EXTREMELY common for both those reasons in the corporate world. It also never actually works as well as independent regulation, and when there are issues in independent regulation, it frequently occurs as a result of that independence being undermined/corrupted by revolving doors/lobbying/etc.

It's a nice press release, and smart on Microsoft's part, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's not in their self-interest to be doing this. To date, I don't think I can recall any instance of a public corporation acting against its own self-interest for moral reasons.
I would argue that in this case, the big change from 1.9 to 9.0 would catch your attention even more than the change in exponent.

You keep willingly not knowing what AMP is and how it works. This conversation becomes moot. I do hope you may find two seconds and educate yourself. Perhaps read the other links, which you clearly didn't.
You might well be right on that. "damage" would be good to define in general for these kinds of things. I'm guessing the FCC regs talk about this to some degree.

So, reality is, this is likely very low-power and likely low-impact experiment and likely not cause a lot of issues with nearby devices that are designed to accept all interference and continue to function or fail gracefully.

But IMHO, it is a good idea for anyone doing these kinds of experiments to think a little bit about RF design and the impacts devices might have ..hence my other comment about the value of HAM technicians license & training (which is fun and pretty easy).

This sort of thing is an excellent seed for host authority if you're making a search engine. Often the trick is to find places where humans have curated 'good' web sites out of the sea of all possible web sites. HN is a good source of data because you get several human signals, one is up votes, the other is comment points. Between the two you can create a rank for both how non-spammy it is and how controversial it is.
> Hardware design flaws are not irremediable and will be fixed in time.

There's no particular reason to believe this. Neither Intel nor AMD have committed to any form of side-effect-free speculative execution or similar. That'd required a rather large chunk of transistors and die space, and if nobody is footing the bill for it it's not going to happen.

Preventing side-effects from leaking between processes (and ring levels) entirely at the hardware level is definitely going to happen. Within a process, though? That's not going to happen without multiple major players demanding it. Since nearly all the major CPU consumers are currently happy with process boundaries being the security enforcement zones, there's no particular reason to believe that in-process sandboxing will ever have hardware fixes to prevent spectre attacks.
> Some places have cities and electricity just fine. Some do not.

Last I read stuff on the matter the country of South Africa had huge problems with keeping the power on 24/7, and we're talking about the most developed country on that continent.

> And guess what, many already have power generators. Even AAA has generator trucks to rescue EVs.

Power generators that use diesel/gasoline, you're supporting my point, which is that we'll never get over our reliance on this stuff.

> You know one thing electric vehicles don't care? It's where their electricity come from.

Until your electricity just stops coming from anywhere, at which point they do start to care. You seem to never have been in a situation where electricity is not a constant 24/7 "resource", so to speak. I did live at a time and in a place where that was not the case (meaning constant power cuts even in the middle of winter) and as such I've learned how "brittle" and fragile the power network is.

Anyway, I'll leave this discussion as it is right now, I should have learned my lesson a long time ago never to enter into any discussion about EV on HN.
Good stuff, thanks for the h-index link, I'll take a look. I've seen something similar, SCImago Journal Rank, but I think that is only for the journal, not the individual. I really like the idea of moving away from the idea of a journal brand as the ranking of importance.
> “Noncompliant” explores one of the darkest chapters in modern American history, but with a crook and unabashed narcissist occupying the Oval Office, its lessons are proving remarkably timely.

The chapters in question took place during Obama's terms, and the repeal of the Glass-Steagal act was a bipartisan effort. Yet that sentence is implying that, if someone superficially decent was President (R or D), then this would somehow get fixed/those responsible would be prosecuted. I think it's pretty obvious that, if you want to go after Wall Street, you either need a third party, or to substantially change the two main ones.
Does this have any meaning to anyone? As someone that enjoys submitting articles and trying to find patterns in their success or failure, I do not see much significance in where the story came from as opposed to a catchy title or subject.

> Why is there an input stream going into a function?

The function is constructing a temporary object and reading into that object. The object includes a reference to a named tp object, and the temporary parser object is parsing from the input stream, which writes the data into the tp object.

> but... I still don't understand all of the technical reasons behind that decision.

Because he wants to support input from an istream, and inputting from a istream necessarily means overloading '>>'. That's just how things are done in C++; if you want to support reading from or writing to an istream/ostream, you overload the '>>' and '<<' operators.

It's a trade off; he could have designed it so that the constructor of tp simply accepts the format string and the istream as parameters. But that has the downside of not looking like idiomatic istream code.

I personally think that the way iostreams are implemented in C++ was a mistake. (because I don't like the way idiomatic istream looks, and I think friend functions are generally smelly.) Unfortunately, it's something like 35 years too late to correct it. (I'm aware that C++ is only 33 years old; iostream.h and cout << "blah" << endl; and cin >> foo; preexist C++) But here's the thing: it's badly designed iostreams that make the linked code confusing, not operator overloading.

surprised no one has mentioned the fork, https://www.classicpress.net/

I brought up similar issues times ago when WP was rolling out major changes that were likely to break things and not add any value to a majority of WP users. Glad to see enough others have banded together to actually make a good fork a serious option now.

I have already begun using a couple of plugins that convert WP sites to static html /css - so no updates needed, no more breaking things from auttomatic.

Unfortunately some of WP sites I'm running need to stay open to udpates regularly, fingers crossed I can revert them when the update rolls out.
I would keep politics out of your business.

You'll offend 50% of your potential client base and 50% of your employees (potentially) if you bring politics in to the picture.

I wouldn't allow employees to dictate business decisions like that, and would look at quietly letting go the ones who are threatening to quit.

Also look at what information your employees have access to, I would minimize discussions and employee access to who your signups are and minimize their access to how they are using the app. Make client privacy a priority.

And security as well. Make sure employees with access to the database are trustworthy and aren't going to take extreme measures against clients they don't agree with.

Avoiding groups that are promoting hate and criminal activities is understandable.

Now is a good time to improve your ToS to outline reasons why you might suspend or terminate a users account.

And would definitely consult an attorney as to how to go about informing clients you don't want their business if you decide to go that route.

Good luck, congrats on the growth, update us how this shakes out.

Wow, this is a blast from the past. I got started "programming" by writing batch files to do all sorts of interesting and crazy things. Stuff like sleeping for a second by printing a predefined number of spaces because the sleep construct didn't exist. There was some guys homepage (think 1996/7) that I remember had an incredible amount of scripts to do things like grabbing the logged in users name, etc all through batch files. In the process of researching possible commands to use in the scripts I came upon "debug" which seemed to be its own language but was far too advanced for me as a 9/10 year old. Glad to see someone finally found a use for it! Good times.

It could be quite bad for morale to keep their business. You'll probably have a group that quit, plus the ones that are left but still would be unsettled by you valuing a bit of $ over principles.

This is my problem as well, I’ve started to take web sites I like the look of (like mobile twitter) and first drawing them by hand and then using plain html and css try and copy them pixel for pixel.

I’m copying images etc and buttons don’t work because it is the layouts that I’m trying to get right.

I’ve learnt so much doing this that it has really helped.

Reading some css tutorials and learning css is a world away from having to find a way to get an element to appear in a very specific place.
Many towns and cities in Europe are installing electric car charging points to on-street parking.

It's certainly not enough to rely on to charge a personal car, but it's increasing. I usually see the pay-per-minute rental cars parked in the spaces.

It might help that 220-240V is the standard voltage, it's a bit more worthwhile than 115V would be, but for more than a couple of points the existing wiring (streetlights etc) probably needs to be upgraded anyway.
