I think there are a great many places in the US where you can live a good life for 1500 a month. In many college towns you can find an apartment for <$500 a month and there will still be a decent amount of culture from what the college brings in.

I lived in one of these towns for a few years and was incredibly happy with my lifestyle and spent around $1500 a month.
No, it's only scary if you bought into pro-Brexit propaganda.
Just like people say America instead of USA - they might say EU instead of Europe.
Well, the alternative is to be an originalist, trying to determine what a bunch of dead white guys in the 16th century -meant- when they wrote it, which is big in a number of conservative circles, and amongst a number of conservative justices.

Personally, I find that an unhelpful approach because the world, and yes, society, change. But it -can- be a helpful guiding star. Those who don't learn from history, etc; well, we have this document that was very intentionally trying to protect against a variety of evils that had been directly observed. Reintepreting it to today gives us value, in that it's a warning against behaviors that are detrimental to society. What exactly is the extent of freedom of speech? The document won't tell you that, or what a good extent of it should be, but it -does- tell you that -it's important-. The countries with the most restrictive speech, the ones where the wrong words routinely get you thrown in jail, where there is little to no free press...there is no document the government is predicated on saying that freedom of speech is important. Etc.
A 200 MB text editor, no matter how fancy, is also insane.
Building something usually refers to that thing not already being completed.
> Most developers of Java I've encountered

Java has about 10M developers, who do everything from developing banking systems, GMail, Netflix, to people writing avionics, air-trafic and weapons control, and manufacturing control. Even 1% of Java developers is more than many language's entire ecosystems.

> I think Java has a lot of merit, but it also has an "ecosystem" rife with bloated, dogmatic, hyper-abstracted code that was never really given a thought about optimality and requires purchasing big servers with lots of RAM.

Again, it's really hard to generalize with such a diverse ecosystem. 1% of Java developers is still ~100K developers.

> that stems from lack of understanding that there are still big juicy low hanging fruit to be found and incorporated into our tools

I'm not sure there are, but if so -- go ahead and prove it.

> The line about "lots of smart people have been optimizing the JVM for a long time" seems like a go-to defense of what I see as stagnation.

Well, as one of the many people working on OpenJDK, I won't comment on that :)
As long as you're productive and meeting deadlines, I couldn't care less about the "hours" you're in the office.

Also, the market well balance itself. If someone is more productive they'll be rewarded more.

I just don't want the "equal outcome" crowd to start enforcing equal pay when most of them are clocking in minimum hours and others are over-delivering.

This is for merit based companies, which personally I can't fathom non-merit based ones.
That's how I read it as well. Not cool spreading such rumors..
At risk of sounding like a broken record:

> I did also list other options that wasn't reliant on your ISP as well.

However that aside, you could nitpick solutions until the cows come home but it’s unproductive because self hosting is still more resilient from takedowns than a SaaS solution. And that’s what matters. Self hosting gives you options that you simply don’t have with SaaS.

Frankly, I’m amazing anyone is even arguing against that point in the first place.
look I get it - ivies attract best and brightest and the incentive structure for businesses is such that things like this make sense (as a recruitment tool) but why not drop this kind of program on a good-not-ivy state school? there are so many to pick from (um Ann arbor, ut Austin, UF, stonybrook, CUNY, etc). it's just strikes me as very similar to wealthy donors donating back to ivies - like c'mon what is marginal utility of that.
On earth you get atmospheric pressure 0.6 kPa around 35 km altitude. It's very low pressure.
Sorry if I misunderstood you, but you said you were using Brave. Perhaps you should review how you evaluate the products you use because your record isn't great.

If you were wrong about Brave, your concerns about Firefox and Mozilla could be wrong as well.
It's just an attack vector I wish didn't exist at all. There's also metadata. Sure Mozilla doesn't have your passwords, but they know who you have passwords with. That creeps me out.

There's nothing wrong with the all-purpose heavily featured approach of stuff like Chrome and Firefox, and I get that other people like Sync, I just really wish there was a totally stripped down basic internet browser I could trust.
I think this "growth hacking" will spectacularly backfire and destroy the company. It's 2018, this stuff doesn't fly anymore. And as the tweeter pointed out, it's breaks the GDPR in Europe. Disaster.
Unfettered education (non-proscribed and auto-didactic forms in particular) has always been a threat to authorities. And, as always, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

And, as Engelbart predicted, it has created a race. Lets take a look on online content, and we see that - because of vested interests - there's very little in-depth content available (at any price) and plenty of superficial content to foster the dangerous. (What's there has largely not been a concern of SV.)

Television (and FM radio before it, as the creators of both complained) played a similar role (with better control-rods)
before the net. Pouring out thoughtless sludge creates the expected result.
This article leans too much on the current state of the art to extrapolate towards possible futures, and it shouldn't. AI is dangerous, sure, but the examples we're getting here are a DOTA2 team that lost to humans in a modified version of the game, a blog post that doesn't adequately explain what the heck was accomplished, and Atari bots that buttonmashed their way into exploits that let them directly change registers in the game (all very cool but not super relevant).

It kind of buries the lede that we're one or two technical achievements away from the apocalypse (learning from unlabelled training sets, say) and instead starts with "AI sentencing guidelines are biased against black defendants", as if that exists in the same universe as Skynet IRL. IME the people who are even worried about AI risks at all are overwhelmingly in the "what if it disenfranchises minorities even more?" camp, and only a tiny fraction are concerned about having the atmosphere packed with graphite superconductors in the next fifteen years. Any article like this should probably start off with the assumption that the audience thinks AI is that cute thing in their iPhone that dials the local pizza joint instead of your mother when you try to speak to it. Whether or not AI will eventually let Donald Trump sustain himself eternally on a golden throne as the God Emperor of America is a red herring and needs to be deflected, like, immediately, or else people get on their own hobby horse about how AI represents a turning point in the bendy straws community. All the right notes are in here but they're at the end for some reason.
Wait so there's a form to fill out for complaints about incorrect charges, but the customer just didn't fill it out for some reason?

No keepass? Disappointed.
Yes, but... What if the passenger opened the package while the car was being driven, and the commotion with the glitter and fart bomb (and perhaps a exaggerated response by the passenger) might contribute to an accident.

Maybe the smell and the shame might make the thief stressed and make bad decisions in traffic.

Both scenarios might seem silly, but I think they are in quite a different legal light when there is intent to disrupt.
It’s not like they throw away the frostbite engine and start over for every new battlefield game.
I’m sure the code for BF1 and BFV is pretty similar.

Same with whatever engine is used for CoD, although I’m not sure if each studio is using the same engine.
Thanks for the reply, seems to me that is a natural evolution from the previous game, the new hardware is more powerful and they had the money and time to add those details and polish it. I 100% agree the graphics and details are great, I was wondering if they brought something revolutionary since the last games that I missed in the reviews and gameplays I watched.
Facebook is reportedly planning its own stablecoin
While many of the objections you list resonate widely (even though I personally don't share most of them), I would also point out the obvious - that for all of its problems, it is because of the conscious, organized (and yes, largely elite-driven) effort to integrate European countries in a framework of shared interests that eventually became the EU that the centuries long practice of constant, bloody conflict that culminated in WW2 was finally broken. This was an explicit aim articulated by all sides after the war and in that aim the EU has been extraordinarily successful.

That is not to say the EU isn't in a deep, existential crisis, because in many ways it is. I would simply caution against throwing out the baby with the bathwater in this case, because the fundamental achievement of the EU is something far more important than overly disconnected bureaucrats with a penchant for arbitrary regulation.
> a complete overhaul of the game code to run on multiple CPU cores simultaneously

Did they switch to Vulkan already to do it? In the past they said, that was the plan.

Also, no word on Linux version in this announcement.
Mattis is out, and Blackwater is back: ‘We are coming’
So then I have confirmed it. I read about browsing the internet and generally no one working 8 hours a day it they work in software. Some days I literally don’t have work to do, so I browse the internet. Sometimes it’s nice to work on tasks around the home if I am working from home that day.

Management must know this. I consider it an unwritten/not talked about fact of working as a software developer.
The scale of the art is the biggest thing for me. The ship designs are incredibly detailed, but then you zoom out and there’s a whole planet and several moons and it’ll only get bigger from there.

When I fire it up occasionally I honestly don’t even do missions, I just go see what new places have been added and go chasing alien sunsets.

If you want more technical stuff, the panels from Citizen Con are a good watch, but individually I’m sure there are other games doing some of the same things.
They also remove it if you login on the mobile web page. So perhaps it's them just trying to get you be be identifiable.
Let's not forget that Apple tried to force license-encumbered formats into web standards. If the publishers don't play along, any resulting poor experience is Apple's fault. Don't support bad actors.
What do you mean by 'fast enough'? As compiled languages go I think it's generally accepted that go compiles relatively quickly, especially for large projects with lots of dependencies (as it has saner dependency rules than c/++).
This was pretty obvious imo, based on a cursory viewing of the original video when it came out. I immediately blocked the dude's Twitter account as I only use it for following fintwits. People wanted to believe it was true for whatever reason; just take a step back, and you'll see how obviously staged the whole thing was. Don't feed the troll.
India's Government to Monitor, Intercept, and Decrypt All Data on Computers
I generally don't share those things with my American friends either, many probably don't understand, and for those who do, it just unnecessarily makes them feel guilty about things they have no control over.

So applaud you to be interested in those nuances and being empathetic!
I would suggest cutting your losses and change contractors or internalize the code. Take a look at the contract, there’s probably a reversibility clause to cover this contingency. From what you’re describing, it’s probably the best solution in the long term.

If you really want to make them improve (or if you absolutely have no other choice), I would suggest taking a look at the situational leadership model.

From the sound of it, that team is squarely in the lowest zone of autonomy. This means you have to be directive with them. Don’t try to argue or discuss, tell them what to do. Micro-manage them. Give them small tasks and check often that they’re doing what you’re telling them. Review every line of code they send your way and reject anything that doesn’t pass muster.

If this sounds like a lot of work, it is. You’re basically taking over the role of tech lead and scrum master. It may not go down well with them and it may be unenforceable. But eventually you’ll get them to a point where you can discuss with them and convince them of what should be done rather than outright telling them. This is step 2 in the STL. Your ultimate goal is to take them to step 4 (full autonomy)... Hence my first suggestion: ditch them.
I disagree. I think cumulative hours across the average spectrum of users, they spend far more time on the web / in a web browser / in web tech-based apps than they ever spend (or at least notice they spend) in a "native" app. The web platform has won. It is native toolkits that have to follow web conventions now (hyperlinks, routing, deep linking, system back buttons, etc), and there are users starting to complain when they don't. The platform distinctions are starting to be meaningless to users so long as basic "web" usability is met. (I've met people that switch between Android and iOS regularly based upon whatever was a cheaper device or had a better plan with their carrier. Those sorts of people absolutely don't care about "native" widgets and see the differences in platforms as a silly barrier to the web.)

(Arguably that's a problem with Flutter too because it isn't "native" nor "web", it doesn't entirely meet the expectations of web users currently either.)

For better and worse, the web is a ubiquitous platform, and I think getting to be just about the only platform that matters today, regardless of the remaining fan wars between the "native" platforms.
What about plain Chromium?
Note that Alexa keeps listening after giving a response, so you can give a followup question without a wake word.
Thankfully, no (knocks on wood). But you have to base your design around the idea that real and fake trades are indistinguishable until the last possible moment. That critical requirement needs to always be in your mind.

I would never try to bolt those kinds of optimizations onto an existing system. It’d be too easy to miss something.
It'd help to avoid lumping all jobs into a single pile and proceeding to suggest a planet-wide remedy.

A software developer has different needs from a convenience store employee. I hope that's obvious.

I don't understand why this is even on HackerNews, because this article contains no news at all. It's just pandering to those who feel that working fewer hours is a good idea for them, nothing more.

ps. if you're in a job that involves using your brain, you're not working more than 3-4 hours/day max. Maybe when there's basic income, we can start having honest conversations about how people actually work in software.
I'm using Chrome's built-in password manager. What are the drawbacks besides it being Google?
It was messy and bloated, we had many different plugins built in different languages and couldn't share patterns and code.

Single language simplified our architecture, less plugins created less bloat, and ultimately we moved faster with Kong.

Engineers also really enjoyed that they got to learn something new and also could get into C easily with Kong as well using LuaJIT.
I see thanks. I guess it wasn't clear to me because I only use them on my Android.
I think what most people understand by "unstructured data" is that it's hard/impossible to define a common schema/template that all instances of the type of data in question would adhere to.

Brave is a web browser that takes your money and claims to pay out to your favorite websites and content creators, but in most cases actually pays into a "user growth pool" that funds pyramid-shaped marketing (paying users to use the browser) and referral programs for partner content creators. How is that not fraud?

Convergence. Per capita GDP becomes approximately equal in both countries. That's still a long time coming, or never.
I have a capacitive touch button that my dogs press when they need/want to go outside that makes a noise and sends me an SMS. They used to have all hours access to it and when they expected me home at the end of the day, I would start receiving texts in rapid succession. Access was removed shortly thereafter. The novelty of getting drinks after work and receiving a "Where are you?" text from my dogs every three minutes wore off quickly.
I have my doubts too :-) but then I fall back on two things
1. The Raj were apparently sticklers for record keeping.
2. The nature of Corbett himself. He never killed a cat, unless he had proof that it had killed a human and he would hunt only if the reward was withdrawn. It doesnt fit his character to overblow the kill numbers.

The Tsavo lions are also believed to have killed over a hundred people before they were killed. (interestingly by a man who learned the art of hunting maneaters in India)
Extremely. I've been so pleased with Keepass and the security it provides. I'm using a web interface now (https://app.keeweb.info/) which is open source and worth checking out.
A more apt mantra here is "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission".

After all, FCC Commissioner Mike O’Rielly said the size of the penalty “is probably not significant enough to deter future behavior". I'd guess that Swarm knew someone would notice and they knew the fine would be worth paying in lieu of dealing with the red tape needed to get the launch authorized.

Now the question is, what penalty is significant enough to deter this behavior and why isn't that the penalty presently?
It's a shame. It was one of the most innovative cloud provider and my personal favourite.

Voting with your wallet works if there are viable alternatives. Where are you going to take your business? Bank of America? JP Morgan? There are only a handful of large banks in the US and they all offshore and they are all guilty of shenanigans.

You're forever locked into Google Chrome!

I realize this is becoming an increasingly minor problem in the modern world, but it still bothers me. I don't know what future situations I'll find myself in, and I don't want to be locked out of all my accounts.

• What if a new browser comes out that's actually better than Chrome? (I don't want to admit to myself how unlikely this actually is.)

• What happens if I'm using a Windows 10 S device, or a locked-down library computer, or a Wii U, or some other weird gadget with a non-Chrome browser?

If you want to play power games in Freemasonry, you certainly can do so. That seems to me to be missing the point. I'm also not sure what kind of second secret life your friend has to hide from the craft.

I think most folks misunderstand the use of secrecy in initiatic orders. If someone joins an order to learn their secrets, they will be sorely disappointed. Signs, passwords, and grips can have symbolic meaning, but they convey nothing the initiate is unlikely to already know. Some of the secret legends can be entertaining, but they, by themselves, won't improve your life. Rather, all these things are tools that, when used in concert, can bring about a change in a person. Not everyone needs or wants that, and that's fine.
That is a super opportunity!

If you can, attend meetings with the CEO with the goal of observing these things;

* Conflict resolution
* Group commitment
* Performance management and expectation setting
* Information sharing/hiding
* Individual empowerment and delegation

Those are the key interactions that come to mind when operating a company on a day to day basis. I'd suggest you take notes of all your observations at the meeting and then spend ask the CEO to tell you what they saw. What did they like? What concerned them? Given the meeting what did they see as the actions that would best help the situation move forward toward resolution.

Dan Warmenhoven once told me that he spent a lot of time trying to help people get things finished. As he described it, people can get caught up in the thrill of "doing things" and that is great, but they can also be afraid of the "what am I going to do after this is done?" question. As a result the project they are working on stretches on and on because it pushes off the scary question of "What next?"

It is a balancing act to keep what ever comes next exciting enough that people want to finish the current project and get on to it, versus making the next project so exciting that they cut corners finishing the current project to get on to it!
