Not related to memory, but I have had trouble with balance issues for years, and I'm only 38 years old. Now I got a Xbox One X recently, which means, of course, increased gaming. I'm not 100% yet but it does seem to have almost wiped my balance issues. I was always feeling nauseous and tired when, for example, moving my head too quickly sideways, or simply driving a car.

Its not outside the realm of possibility, my hypothesis is that I am very visually dependent when it comes to my sense of balance. Lots of fast-moving visual stimuli without any input to my balance organ probably tunes my brain to not use my eyes as much. There is also something called "Roll adaptation" which is rolling the head under visual stimuli that does not match. Maybe I should roll my head when gaming for even better effect...

This is such a Linux Desktop community statement. "Your experience is irrelevant because it Works For Me(tm)".
I think a big flaw of Pokemon Go was how different the experience was for urban folks and the rural folks. While the former were running between Charizards and Blastoises, the latter were enjoying their very rare Pidgey and Rattata spawns.
TL;DR: not so much "data on Aaron Swartz" as "metadata on Swartz's email correspondence, as part of an unrelated investigation". The amount of email addresses about which 'metadata' was collected was obviously quite large, so it would be a mistake to read anything of significance into the fact that Swartz's email was involved.

Hm, why is zstd marked as "BROKEN"? zstd would've been my first choice for something like this.
I have not dug thought this specific offering but here is how it works in general it works this way:

Account has 3 parts:

1. Marketable securities -- value is NOT insured.

2. Cash on hand -- value IS ensured.

3. Money market fund -- value is NOT insured.

(3) may or may not be offered and if (3) is offered it has to be elected by the account holder. Money cannot flow from (1) to (3) or from (3) to (1) bypassing (2) due to securities regulations -- one cannot pay for one security with another security, a settled cash must be used.

If the APY is on (2) they will get killed by the fatwallet/slickdeals crowd. If the APY is on (3) it is more complicated but debit/check transactions against (3) are very expensive to clear so I don't quite see what the play is.
If budget is not an issue, I would use Qt with C++.
Speaking of abusive bosses, let me recommend a favorite book:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Q9J0RO

It's Lundy Bancroft's, "Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men". It's the single most astute thing I've ever read. The guy spent more than a decade as a counselor for abusive men, most of them ordered to him by the courts. It's clear he heard an ocean of bullshit and became very good at seeing through it.

It's targeted at domestic abuse, but his insights are so clear and well-explained that it's easy to apply the lessons elsewhere. E.g., a couple of years back my boss got pushed out, so suddenly I was being managed by his boss. I walked out of my first meeting with him wondering what the fuck had just happened; everything I said he jumped on aggressively. But the pattern rang a bell, so I thumbed through the book. He lists a variety of abuser styles, and the one called "Mr. Right" fit him perfectly. In one meeting he hit something like 2/3rds of the items in the checklist.

Had I not read that, I would have probably walked away thinking that the problem was me, even though my original boss had been happy with me and my work. Instead, I was prepared for what came next: a couple more abusive meetings and then a surprise, no-notice "layoff" where I and the other manager my boss hired were pushed out. (And where we were asked to sign a no-disparagement clause if we wanted any severance. Seeing it a further abuser-style manipulation, I passed.)

Over the years I've given away maybe 15 copies of the book, often to people who were in abusive relationships without recognizing it. If you ever even begin to wonder, I strongly recommend reading the book.
3 Reasons Not to Use Blockchain Within Your Organisation

I have a fair amount of stuff on Google drive and I would have liked to consolidate there, but the lack of a Linux client was a deal breaker, so I'm stuck with Dropbox.

Not that Dropbox is bad. It would be nice to have things in one place only, but maybe it's better to not be completely dependent on one service.
We use http://redash.io to look at our timescale data. Works our quite well for charting, and searching... they let you put variables into your sql query, then they become input fields, making search easy.
Linux Desktop's failure isn't, and never has been, that it just doesn't look enough like Windows. People have been saying variations of that idea for decades now and look where it has gotten us. Stop looking down on users as stupid people who don't have good reasons for the choices they make and need to be fooled into using your system!

Ugh... Google never misses an opportunity to shit on its most ardent supporters - the people with personal G-Suite domains.
Great examples, thanks!

Can you suggest any good material you know on stats? (I'd prefer videos, but everything works)
It seems to me you have a very solid background.

I wish I could filter Pinterest and more importantly Quora from all search results forever. I consider those sites deceptive and malicious spam.

Google released a Chrome addon that filters sites, but this doesn't help users of other browsers and it hadn't been updated in over three years.
Funnily, on my encrypted disk in Debian, Dropbox needs constant monitoring to make sure it's working (need to execute a couple of simple python scripts now and then), while Drive works perfectly through InSync.
You can compare site's performance with it's performance under uMatrix or even uBlock. The amount of nonessential third-party JS is really a big problem.

How come humor for smart people causes you to chuckle but not much else?
Too easy to infiltrate, too difficult to enforce participation internally. And you've got to advertise it somehow to the workforce.

I don't think it's achievable without outside help and political organisation.

I'm not sure about that. Even basic sites with only the 'title' tag set, still create a popup in WhatsApp, albeit with just the title text (obviously).
Maybe I was not clear - the point that I was making the instacart killer is not a specific whole foods product. It is whole foods doing order picking/delivery using its own trained workforce that knows that specific store and is fully integrated into the logistics pipeline of WF. In the race to the bottom WF does not even need to charge more than a nominal fee for delivery with zero upcharge on the product (of course it would right now since Instacart showed that people will pay markups even for inferior service, which means they will definitely pay such markups for the superior service)
I was also confused until I read until the end, especially since its a BBC article. Might have been worth putting the little explainer about the series at the top (instead of the bottom) of the article.
I think there is a single reason, one reason in particular that every problem with Linux Desktop ties back to: The people who make it have a low opinion of users.

Every time this sort of thing comes up you get dozens of posts about how the "average user" wants this, or doesn't want that, or just uses the OS that came with their computer, or just wants it to be pretty, etc.

Consequently, they think putting lipstick on a pig will work and are really surprised when it doesn't.

Very true, this is the case among many of their products. For example Google Home is not fully working on G Suite accounts, ridiculous.
My preferred title would have been: One step sideways

A much needed paper which goes into the programming model in serverless rather than the operational model. Although, the first cases study is obviously bad for serverless (training a ML model) whereas the second case study does not indicate bad results (using trained ML model) as half a second latency is acceptable. As the paper itself quotes:

`One might argue that FaaS encourages a new, event-driven distributed programming model based on global state.`

Yes, exactly. It is not made for distributed computing or data-centric applications. It is made for making applications more modular, atomic and compositional with the upside of less ops and more scale and the downside of lower performance.

EDIT: Added preferred title.
The fact that you are being downvoted is a pretty good data point for why the Linux Desktop sucks and continues to suck.

Rather than develop something good, the people who work on and evangelize the Linux Desktop would rather stick their fingers in their ears and pretend that everyone who doesn't use it is just too stupid to see how obviously superior it is.

Of the books I've read this year, there are a small handful that I think are beyond good.

Antifragile: This book has informed many decisions I have made recently. It is insightful, entertaining, and in its concern for human choices manages to send a beautiful message about nature and reality.

The Power Broker: I listened to this via audiobook and I highly recommend the experience. It's a large dose of history and a fascinating exploration of city politics and, as its name implies, power. And I learned a lot about New York!

Lonesome Dove: I hadn't read any fictional "westerns" and this came well recommended. I loved it. Listening to it while backpacking and on a road trip was extremely rewarding.

Man's Search For Meaning: Extremely powerful and potentially life changing. It was both cathartic and therapeutic for me, and has affected how I live my life.

The Lathe of Heaven: Incredibly enjoyable dystopian future fiction. It came recommended via the "HN reading list" released some number of months ago, and I liked it a lot.

The Fellowship of the Ring: I had started this book in high school but hadn't finished it for some reason. I picked it up again, and I'm glad I did. It is a gem, and there's good reason that it has become a part of our cultural bedrock. Its exploration of purpose, challenge, and choice is quite moving.
Seconding Ableton. Live combined with the Push 2 is the best computer interface I've seen for anything. I've often found myself starting a project at 9pm at night and just getting lost tinkering with the sounds. The next thing you know it's 2am and I'll have a headache at work tomorrow.

You can do the same thing with a keyboard and mouse, but the Push makes playful experimentation so much easier, tactile, and fun.
None of us should aspire to emulate this way to greatness. You'll lose everything and for your reward, people will say, he was successful. If you can ever find someone who does not know you, maybe you could pretend to be different and they might like you, but you won't like yourself.

Well, considering that the rural areas of Poland looked like that and seeing horse carts delivering coal in Katowice was nothing unusual back then I'm not entirely sure if it is so wrong considering how much of Poland is/was rural. Even though I must admit I miss this "modern socialist" architecture that was there in the bigger cities for sure.
Why would laws be better? I absolutely don't see how any law could be better than something the people did themselves. Comparable - maybe, but a law is usually way more expensive in the long run and not exactly flexible - and if you were from eastern European state you would know how unions work here (they mostly don't).
I wonder if he's related to Trump.

Have you considered hiring in someone with relevant experience? They could both help you out and provide a good mentoring/learning aspect. If you don't know 100% what good leadership looks like, it's hard to make that journey on your own.

Not saying finding such a person is easy btw, but could be worth considering?

~40 years of "total career", approximately speaking, and usual caveats re YMMV, is a long time. 3 years coding then 37 years managing/leading isn't necessarily the best balance. That is another factor to consider. Drifting from hands on tech this early could cause you problems relatively soon into your own career.
Your job isn't decision making but you can make sure management is fully aware of what they are dealing with. Outline major problems that you keep running across, you mention highly coupled platforms, that usually means changes in one system can have negative affects on another, and may not happen right away.

The big trade-offs for ignoring tech debt are software quality, system health and speed of development. Those things will get worse with time. If you bring up facts with evidence, on how those are poor because of the tech debt, it could help. Better yet, align tech debt with product strategy. For example, you know the product strategy is to do more X and system 1 is primarily involved with X but changes impact systems 2 and 3. Propose untangling system 1 from 2 and 3 as part of the effort with improving/building more X features. It really pays off when system 1 is loosely coupled from others and can evolve on it's own.

A common theme I've seen from some developers is basically to toss out the old system and build a new one. This usually never works. You probably need to start small with minor refactors to improve things and build credibility that refactoring is a path towards a better system.

When it comes down to it though, if management listens and mostly just ignores your advice, wait for the next failure and after it is resolved, gently (not "I told you so") bring it up again that maybe it could have been prevented.

Snowboarding for Geeks
What is not achievable? We're talking about collective bargaining, how is that not achievable without outside help and involving the government? People got it working just fine 100 years ago... Of course back then laws were not favoring corporations that much (in my country where it worked then, not the USA).
Sure! Will do so as soon as I'm home.
> If a line worker makes a mistake, they will hopefully catch that within hours.

To finish the parable: If an engineer makes a mistake, it might not be noticed until users start to die while operating the product.
Hahaha that's awful.

Hope that since Trump did this, that liberals can see how ineffective government is.

Nope, guess not? HN isnt as smart as they act.
Agreed, when I read the title of the post, I thought this would be about self-driving cars.
I am using this method to a great success at my current job. It leads to always having a clear, well-defined place where you look for changes related to issue XYZ.

Support from tooling also helps a lot, e.g. "checkout branch of issue XYZ".

Generally in order for unions to exist at all they need a certain amount of protection from reprisals; union organising needs to be a protected activity.

Surely the big Eastern European union success story was Solidarity? Although I can understand how unions would struggle to operate in the post-communist era.
bit off-topic, but why is it called a linker? I would have thought a more relevant name like optimiser or pruner or something.
>The Ads don't go away...

In fairness, maybe that's because journalism isn't cheap?

I don't know? I'd need data from inside of NYTimes, or AFP, or Al Jazeera, or whatever to know for sure. But I suspect stuff like that costs a great deal of money. Subscriptions that would fully fund something like NYTimes, or WSJ, or Le Monde, or what have you would likely be unaffordable for the majority of information consumers. (Again, that's just my guess. I don't know?)
My experience with Google's Backup and Sync means I would never trust Google again.

I put everything on Google's Backup and Sync... and was initially happy enough with it as a replacement for Dropbox.

Then my laptop crashed.

When I went to restore, I was limited to copying files down 2 GB at a time.

Worse... the process didn't tell me that, I had to figure it out after doing a few downloads and finding that not all my files made it. There was no warning, no errors. I hit download on a folder, it came down "successfully" but when I looked at the contents locally vs. what was on Google Drive it never matched up.

Can't stress enough how shitty this was. I had to manually save everything and manually check to make sure it all saved. I'm still not convinced I got it all downloaded correctly. Took probably 100 hours of my time. Never a single error message if you tried to download a folder that was bigger than 2 GB, but behind the scenes it was truncating files.
> And as soon as anyone mentions unions

Can we make it mandatory for everyone that is anti-Union to have to report to work on Labor Day and also they need to work the previous Saturday since it was normally a six day work week before Unions?

I still don't understand American working force's love affair with the filthy rich individuals and corporations. I am constantly told, "This is just how economy works" from my Father-In-law and other "conservatives."

When I mention that we as the working class are getting less and less of the GDP pie and more is going to the corporations and rich. The feeling is this has always been that way. I immediately say "I'm talking percentage" and sadly the average American is stuck at a 4th grade math level and I guess 4th grade doesn't cover the meaning of percentages.

The filthy rich's best warriors are conservative leaning voters right now and I have no idea how that will ever change.

Google One sounds like a device to me. I think it would be clearer to take the existing "Google Family" service they already offer (of which Google One is feature) and add "Shared expanded storage on Drive, Gmail, and more" as an optional feature.
If I were in your shoes I would not even accept a job that requires 20 hours per week to commute to even if it was a great job. Thats a 60 hour work week in my book.
If you regularly work 12-14 hours then with commute your job takes away 80-90 hour per week from you.

What you describe is a clean and well lighted highway to burnout even if its a good workplace. And it's not.
I like this approach. Kids are going to test their limits, try things out of a natural curiosity of "what if..." without always understanding the consequences. The whole "just because you can doesn't mean you should". Dealing with it as a teachable moment seems the best way to go for minor infractions lime this.

It’s literally a series of profiles of different beers, and clearly billed as such.

There’s literally nothing strange about journalism that reviews and profiles different kinds of products, from restaurant reviews to album or movie reviews or a blog with fashion tips.

That’s not the same thing as advertising, and the difference isn’t particularly confusing.
Stock isn't money. If you owned 50% of the shares of Google you couldn't easily turn it into 50% of Google's market cap. You might be able to turn it into 45%, but the price right now is the price at the margins to buy ~1 share from someone who is willing to sell one share. If you tried to sell half, you would find radically less people are interested at that price then you would need to sell all of your portfolio.

Getting collective bargaining started requires assembling the collective - this is a lot harder to do if the employer can just fire anyone seen organising.

Traditionally bootstrapping into a situation where union organising could happen safely and peacefully required a period of violence on the picket lines. There used to be quite a lot of this in America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_union_busting_in_th...

These days it's even harder in some ways; the more "virtual" an organisation is, the easier it is for the company to just disband and restart it and the harder it is to picket. It's not clear if the various strikes against Uber by its workers have achieved anything.
