The fear that the demands of you will rise after successfully finishing the current job is irrational. You will still have some autonomy to make an informed decision later. Don't fret about it now.

I've been in that position with bad management where finishing a project quickly would get you a look like, "Is that all you're going to do? I thought I figured out how to make you productive, but I guess I have to try again." With the wrong kind of management, finishing a project puts a cap on the credit you get from it, and finishing a project quickly can create an impression that you're getting nothing done. A three-week project is worth 50% more than a two-week project, a system that requires constant patching in production gives you a constant flow of achievement, etc. Good management with strong technical chops will remember the systems you built that are humming along problem-free. Good management with strong technical chops will not base their estimations of difficulty entirely on how long you take to build something and how much trouble it is afterwards. Good management will appreciate you not adding functionality of uncertain value to the codebase. Bad management can make engineers reluctant to wrap up work too quickly lest their work be perceived as lower quality than it should be, and engineers can always find ways to gild the lily if that's what management demands. Especially coming up towards review time, if you have no chance to add an extra line to your accomplishments after completing your current project, it is tempting to find a way to add an extra week to inflate your achievement —- if that's how your management thinks about it.

The opposite problem (with the same kind of bad management) happens when they ask you to incrementally add more and more functionality to a system, but because they keeping using the same label for each additional increment of work, they end up feeling that you took forever to complete a single simple project. The worst form of this is when they don't let you deploy the system. A few years back I spent the bulk of two quarters adding new capabilities to a system that was never used. (It was deployed in production, but for business reasons related to the customer it was built for, it was idle. Another maddening factor was that I was building on a codebase that had been half-completed by two developers who were writing Scala for the first time, but that's a different story.) Good management would apologize for wasting my time. Bad management blamed me despite their ongoing direction to continue the work. (When you hear someone say they want developers who are "entrepreneurial," that means you're supposed to go outside the process to talk to product teams, because management is going to get the business priorities wrong, and it's your ass on the line when they do.)

Bottom line, when you find a great manager, do your sanity a favor and stick with them as long as you can! There's enough wrong with you already without your manager compounding the problem.
Doesn't even have to be deep beneath your feet, a square meter of average soil contains thousands of species.

In that square meter you can have 10,000,000,000 baceria, 1,000,000,000 protozoa, 5,000,000 nematodes, 100,000 mites 10,000-200,000 individual Collembola, 10,000 rotifiers and/or tardigrades, a few thousand larger insects/spiders/diplurans and dozens of slugs & snails. That's within a few inches of the surface. A cubic meter would increase that considerably for stuff like bacteria and protozoa.

This is my biggest issue with terraforming another planet. It isn't the massive geo-engineering, it's adding all of that biodiversity and spreading it over a regional or global scale... even transplanting an initial acre would be a daunting task.
I would prefer not resorting to begging.
This also shows the power of focus in marketing: it's much better, from a branding point of view, to be the best in a smaller market, than a "me too" in a bigger one.
How would I handle that? Get a new job.
What you write is true, but this mistake was deliberately spread through IBM's hype, such as seemingly empty promises to apply Watson to all sorts of business, medical, and political problems. This hype is the reason these demonstrations get as much attention as they do. This hype, which IBM uses to sell unrelated services, also seems to be the only thing IBM actually gets out of funding all of its AI development.

>Is there anything intrinsic to healthcare that limits the ability of a free market

Oh, lots (the biggest fundamental failing being that a person will generally pay anything to not die or be in pain -- its why extortion and robbery can never lead to an efficient market). But examining costs doesn't mean we have to apply a market-based approach to controlling those costs.
I agree completely. For private vehicles, there's just no evidence showing that these inspection programs improve safety at all; almost all private-vehicle accidents are caused by driver error, after all, since we as a nation absolutely refuse to require any kind of real driver training, and also refuse to enforce any real driving skills, and only focus on "speeding".

Commercial vehicles are a little different I think, since 1) the drivers actually are skilled for the most part (far better than private vehicle drivers at any rate), and 2) they get a lot more use, and so have more maintenance issues. Retread tires, for instance, are a big issue with them, and really should be banned as they are in other countries. They can cause the truck with them to crash, and they can also cause other vehicles to crash by being a road hazard.

I looked up the Victor Powell visualization they cite and it's quite a bit more in-depth then the version they have:

http://setosa.io/conditional/

But seriously, all of these interactive visualizations are amazing. I wish they had this kind of stuff when I was an undergrad. I remember trying to plot the beta distribution for different alpha and beta parameters in MATLAB trying to get an intuition for it; just dragging the sliders around on the prior and watching it update as each data point comes in is a million times more accessible.

Maybe try to pivot into a less technical role, like a developer advocate where you need to be technologically current, but also have a social teaching-esque component to your role.
IMO, the two most important things are:

1. Put role="main" on the element that contains the main content of the page.

2. Make sure your headings are semantic (h1, h2, etc.), not just visual (e.g. divs or paragraphs with certain font sizes).

The rest is nice, but much less important IMO.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see an article on this subject on the front page, and it's very thorough. I just thought a very brief summary of the essentials might be helpful.
Yeah I don't agree even a little bit with Japanese whaling policy but I don't think it's fair to dismiss any argument involving the preservation of culture with "well, why don't you live like your ancestors from 1000 years ago?"
You should never push against it. You will be fighting against yourself, if you push strong, so do your opponent.

Like with cancer, young people with cancer worsens much faster that old people, because cancer is stronger, your cells are stronger, because cancer if fighting against your own cells and body.

You should understand what creates anxiety, so you do not feel anxiety, so you do not procastinate.

My advice will be for you to take a notebook and start writing down what you feel and the thoughts that created those feelings.

More than understanding, it is a routine, we are used to think some way in a particular situation that makes us feeling some way, that loops again making us thinking, and feeling...

You have to change your routines, slowly, but without stopping and you will be able do materialize the great ideas you have in your mind.

True.

I'd argue that trumps all other control over the account. If you can show that you control the payment method, then I'll accept you as the legitimate controller of the account.
So, notarized, translated, and apostilled letter from the bank branch manager stating that you are the person in control of the account, sent by certified mail with signature delivery and I'll send you back a link to type in manually the same way.

As a shortcut, I'd say it's mostly safe to accept a picture of someone's face holding up their photo ID with the same billing address.

Or confirming the amount and/or origin (some banks/credit systems do not display the merchant name for some halfbrained reason) of a small transaction (e.g. 1.37 USD from merchant account ACMECORP-294817) that is refunded after a week.

Explain.
I think the tone could have used improvement, but the underlying perspective has been useful for me when getting through hard times of all sorts. It's easy to lose perspective and focus on the negative parts of life, and often times, I've been able to find comfort in difficult situations by reminding myself that everyone has struggles and acknowledging the positive aspects of life. At least to me, a simple shift in perspective can have a huge effect on my mood and happiness.
My point is "what's the value added with this article?"
is it - ease of explanation?
- numerical example?
- code?

I can find plenty of blog posts which do a better job at all these criteria with a simple google search.

I don't see any value added with this post.

Maybe the author wrote it to teach whatever he has learnt, but it's not worthy of HN front page.
Seems to me the only logical thing to do in a digital world is to abadon the idea of intellectual property?
The article really doesn't do a good job of explaining what's going on, in particular:

> It means Japan will be able to freely hunt species currently protected by the IWC, like minke whales.

Japan has already been hunting Minke whale, in 2016 they killed more than 300[1].

What's changing here is not the facts on the ground, but a maneuver in international diplomacy. Japan, Iceland and Norway have opposed the IWC's total ban on whaling. Japan has, until now, decided to work around this by claiming the whaling is "scientific", an obvious farce. It's been commercial whaling in all but name. Iceland and Norway have made no such claim, but issued commercial quotas in defiance of the moratorium.

Now Japan is going to withdraw from the IWC entirely, which e.g. Canada did a long time ago[2] citing similar arguments.

They're also going to restrict their whaling to their "territorial waters and economic zones", i.e. stop hunting in the Arctic. This was arguably the most controversial part of what they were doing before, e.g. Iceland and Norway don't hunt whales outside of their EEC.

Does anyone have a clean link to a transcript of this?
Uh, what?

Deep blue beating Kasparov obviously wasn't staged because there was no human strong enough to beat Kasparov at chess. The jeopardy thing wasn't staged (but also wasn't necessarily that impressive). To this day you can download a chess engine greater than the strongest human for free online (stockfish).

This, however, is almost certainly a human-controlled PR-Stunt.

Asking for evidence is fine, but let's not conflate this with something real like chess.
What’s the difference between a Bearer Token and JWT? I thought they were related?
That’s all fine except SMS is the defacto method that most use for password resets, dual-factor, etc. This was mentioned in TFA.

What does one do about that?

I think it would be amazing if banks and financial institutions used iMessage but I can’t see it happen.
Pick use cases and walk through the code. I usually start with something simple like login, or common functions like logging etc. Use case focused lets you see the app in use and then trace what the code is doing which to me is far more valuable than just reading code. Reading code without a purpose is useless IMO. Also doing this is sometimes great for the team because you will find stuff they have missed and can ask questions about it which will result in either them explaining why it is that way or saying crap, good find.

Other options (I usually use these to build documentation from a codebase I don't know but to get up to speed faster I use the above method):

If it is object oriented, find all the base classes and work your way up through the derived classes learning what they do. Once complete, follow the procedural method below.

If it is procedural, then find the entry point and walk line by line, and at the first non-system/sdk level function call start building a function map so you know what calls what and what data is needed, passed etc.
No, they've described a Bearer Token workflow. JWT is a specific method that also (most times) uses Bearer tokens, but it wasn't the first, nor does it have a monopoly on Bearer tokens.

I remember building a service when I was experimenting with web development that used randomly generated tokens in a custom HTTP header, and that is closer to Bearer Token (the standard) than Bearer Token is to JWT.
So why even argue that? Why not just say "I like whale meat"? I hate this "it's a tradition" bullshit. Just say it, stop hiding behind traditions.
> If you are building consumer grade software, go with a reset procedure through email. The consumer is responsible for keeping that secure. If their email gets compromised, it can't be your responsibility.

That defeats the whole point of 2FA.
It was actually much harder this year due to unexpected higher temperatures for this time of year, more snowfall, and whiteout conditions which all led to slower skiing. Many explorers failed to accomplish their goals this year due to poor conditions.

Immediately brings to mind: The first book I read on TDD recommended writing "return 12" and waiting for a test that fails. So I guess PR/marketing could say Microsoft pioneered an early form of TDD in WinWord, combining it with the power of pair-collaboration between a developer and a tester. Just one more in a long line of MS innovations.

login.gov at least makes you prove you copied the 2fa backup number... at least on the next screen. So far that's the best I've seen.

After dealing with the shitshow that is the treasury's login, I was pleasantly surprised that login.gov appears to be pretty good. I was literally feeling sick to my stomach when creating a login.gov account in anticipation of more crap, but nope turns out it's fine :)

Honestly if I'm playing a Basketball game the last thing I care about is the detail on tattoos, just parody them...

This isn't such a crucial issue at the end of the day, I don't think you should be able to copyright a tattoo, the design may change as the person ages, or gets into a crazy accident, or whatever. Heck, when they die and decompose / get cremated it's all gone.
What you’re describing - a microservice architecture - is actually a legitimate use case for JWT. I would say that’s an example of sound authentication, but it’s not session authentication, which is what’s being talked about here. Microservices authenticating and communicating with one another don’t utilize the concept of sessions in the sense that clients (users) and servers do.

For that reason I don’t know that it’s fair to say the disagreement throughout this thread is due to people talking about different things. Microservice authentication notwithstanding, session management is not optimally handled by JWT.

> One suggestion : I would love, when I create a new note when having a Notebook selected, that this new note is automatically added with this tag (currently, manually importing data from Kontact is painfully long). Autocompletion of tags could do too.

Definitely, tag autocompletion may be a bit tricky but putting the note in the current tag should be implemented quickly.

Look around your local university's external job listings to get attached to a team as a research programmer. Often they are just looking for somebody to build and maintain a UI the scientists can use more easily, but you'll have lot's of opportunities to start rewriting algorithms to make them more efficient, and you're working with post-doc researchers and grad students so everyday is interesting not to mention some come with benefits, such as free tuition credits so you can P/T take courses at the school. Some resources here for teaching yourself these topics https://functionalcs.github.io/curriculum/

You will also collect letters of recommendations from the PhDs you work with, guaranteeing future employment on more research grant teams or for use to apply to a grad school program. Most students and developers pass up these opportunities because they don't pay near the same salary as industry does but if you can live with a hit in income you'll never be bored again. Sometimes you'll be the 'CTO', your job is to design whatever you think is the best way to sort/access/display research data which leads into Knuth territory generating all permutations, creating graphs, building a DSL, creating the user interfaces for it, best way to host an interface online for remote access, ect.

Any luck with phase change materials for more dense « cold » banking?

You do say « However, this needs a material that freezes at a higher temperature than water, and most such are oils, which are less dense and so store less cold overall. », but I wouldn’t underestimate the enthalpy of melting.

Depending on your climate, a long heat pipe would be interesting to move heat outside when it’s cool enough outside (even if only during a few hours overnight). But that’s getting complicated to fabricate oneself.

Oops, edit: you have it outside already. How do you prevent freezing everything ? (Again, climate dependent).
Certainly the act of whaling itself is also very cultural?

Well, as far as questioning deep blue:

1. There were only a handful of players around during those matches who could hold a candle to Kasparov. A team of the top GMs could maybe topple him, but that would require a significant conspiracy by individuals with no clear incentive to hype-up computer chess.

2) It wasn't long until you could run open source code on your home PC that could crush Kasparov.

I suspect that much of the power of Watson comes from it's data sets and preprocessing, and that technically it wouldn't look nearly as impressive as Deep Mind's work. Open sourcing its core algorithms might not give any useful insights, especially if one lacks the data sets and a powerful enough custom-built machine.
