> Because sharing like that is done routinely, is generally accepted, and has not created a massive uproar

It obviously is not accepted (that's the whole point of that link!), and genetic and health information sharing routinely creates controversies, ranging from insufficient diversity to worries about AI (see DeepMind & NHS). So your premises are just wrong.
Yes that's true, although sometimes it seems like game programmers are exploited due to their passion for video games.
Thanks, that is the other one I couldn't remember and was too lazy to Google.
In the windows universe though, that sort of bundling is not really necessary for large parts of what would constitute a GUI application in UNIX land, because the OS provides a guaranteed base set of libraries you can use.

I've been working with Zig a lot lately, and writing a GUI Windows app with no support from any MS tool was a simple matter of some DLL calls. I don't have to recompile for every version of Windows because they might have a different version of libfoo, or it might be under a different name, or any of that garbage.

Even if I did have a complicated set of library dependencies on top of the OS, I can just zip them up in a folder with my application and call it a day. In UNIX land, I'm expected to jump through a bunch of packaging hoops and make the user jump through hoops to get my package to avoid conflicts that may or may not exist. Even if I want to distribute my application as a straight AppDir, or with something like AppImage, I have to include a hell of a lot to cover things that any given distribution might screw me on, or make the user jump through hoops getting the right dependencies.

>More to the point, the phrase DLL Hell was literally coined by and for Windows developers to describe Windows-specific headaches

Yes, when everyone tried to copy their DLLs into the system folder and share them all UNIX style. There's a reason they don't really do that any more.
You made me curious so I looked around. I couldn't easily find an open Python project with 1M+ LOC.

Python 3.7 has 542,292 lines of Python, according to David A. Wheeler's 'SLOCCount' . And another 418,581 lines of C.

NumPy has 159,208 lines of C and 113,842 of Python.

SciPy has 174,580 lines of Python, 83,155 of C, and 79,514 of Fortran.

Pandas has 225,417 lines of Python.

Put them all together and that's 1M lines of Python to run the standard Python data stack.
Surprise, eating one egg also wastes 55 gallons of water.
Okay, so the important thing to understand that with this method your mirrors don't overlap. Before, you could ignore your rear view mirror and just look in the side mirror to get the same coverage but slightly extended on that side. With correctly set mirrors you absolutely have to use both rear view mirror and the side mirror if you want to change the lane or are looking for a cyclist when turning.

I made some tests when I first started. I parked my car parallel to the street and observed when cars move from behind they move out of the rear view mirror and start appearing in side mirror before wholly disappear from rear view mirror.

With bicycles it is more difficult, not all parts of bicycle are easy to spot. If you just get a rear part or front wheel in the mirror you might miss it (it may be below your vision if you have SUV or have mirrors set bit high). For this reason I have my side mirrors set low, which also aides backing up when parking.

It is also important to look at your mirrors correctly. If you look for things moving faster than you, which is most of the time (for example when you are changing lanes or looking for cyclists when turning right) then you need to first look into the rear view mirror and then to side mirror, in that order.

I taught myself to scan all mirrors constantly when driving to have a map of all cars and their relative positions and velocities around me. It is tiring at the beginning but it means I am rarely surprised by normally moving cars (ie. not doing any stupid manouvers). It is very helpful when you need to suddenly swerve and you can frequently anticipate problems other drivers have and accommodate.
Afraid so. The 404 is happening because the server cannot find a 50x.html file.

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. I often use a charge card because I want the protection of being able to reverse a transaction. And merchants like this too. By reducing shopper risk, people are more willing to spend money and try new things.

We want it at the systemic level, too. I used to work for financial traders. One day one of our traders made a quick profit by buying something at an absurdly low price. It turned out that a major market participant had fat-fingered a trade offer; they lost enough that the company could well go out of business.

Eventually the exchange stepped in, reversed all the transactions, and put things back the way they were. I thought our trader would be mad, but he just shrugged. And why not? The rules protected them all.

It doesn't have the flash in the pan moment of sucesss like a unicorn startup but these guys will make billions some day due to all the peering agreements and interconnect (most the long haul is probably leased), especially as IPv6 takes majority prominence in the coming years.

Excellent slow burner kind of business and smart customer acquisition through low pricing and easy turn-ups.
That's okay. I like micro-macroservices.
At 1T it’s still not really a growth stock.

20 P/E is the edge of growth. Consider a utility with steady 5% returns + inflation is often an appealing option for people looking for steady returns. This always depends on what options are available.

Further the entire market is down which changes expectations. The Dow going from 26,800 to 23,300 would mean a drop from 1T down to ~869 billion.

Yep, people think Apple is slightly worse off now. But, Apple has been stuck as a relaticly high volatility value stock for a while. The expectation is lots of profit, but little real growth.
Is this pepper's ghost, or something different?
I do this with app specific stuff. Only general utilities do I install globally.
I first got a PlayStation (1) when I was about 9 years old, and we got Road Rash 3D with it. Looking back the graphics were pretty shocking (though cutting edge at the time). But my main memory is how liberating it felt to leave the race route and just ride around aimlessly for hours and hours, exploring the countryside and the towns and cities you'd discover. I got a lot more out of that than trying to keep up with the race. Now I think I might try RDR2 some time if it offers a bit of that buzz again.
It's definitely not on layers. There's a weird perspective illusion vertically but it's not parallax and you can't "see around corners" vertically. It's a lenticular effect, horizontal only. Check out the Vimeo holographic channel: https://vimeo.com/channels/thelookingglass Each video is a 5x9 matrix and each view is a different angle. If you're working with a 3D object and not a video it's the same deal - it has to be rendered from 45 different perspectives and these are sent to the device separately.
But if remote were more of a thing, a startup could have access to even more experienced developers - a whole world's worth, instead of just a city's.
I certainly would want it to happen if I lived there. I like all sorts of wildlife, but introducing invasive species is not something to be taken lightly.

Perhaps it's something for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to consider? They seem to be the one in charge of Burmese Python control in the Everglades.
The problem with hydro is mostly fish. Anyways, from an economic perspective, hydro is definitely renewable, and works much the same way a wind turbine does (substitute blowing wind with flowing water).

I really dislike the political fatalism that hides behind individual-action climate engineering. The argument says we can't convince our leaders to tax carbon emissions or invest in green technologies, we have to push feebly against the 9% of US carbon emissions which are related to agriculture while the world ignores us and burns to death.

This is not the way. The way forward requires democratic, organized, serious reforms of many areas of life. Individuals can't do it. Political participation, communication, compromise, honesty, and skepticism are necessary. Individual action is merely pandering to the laziness and timidity of those who find it easier to stop eating delicious foods entirely than to have a conversation with someone who disagrees with them about politics.

The fact is that I can't do anything for the planet. My suicide would save nobody. We can stop global warming by working together.
If there's something in particular you'd like me to respond to, I will. Otherwise this isn't a constructive comment.
It sounds like there's some hope in that she will free up in a half year. I'm sure it's going to be hard but at the end it will seem like it was a short time. So, how to make the best of that journey is the objective...

It seems like you might have a little more flexibility in your schedule than she...Can you get in front of her schedule and then make some "NO" blocks in your time where you simply say you're not available? (That means NO to anything else, even meeting with a potential investor) Even a 2-3 hour block per week will give you some time to connect. If you're not organically finding opportunities to couple up, I suggest prioritizing some of this "appointment" time for sex. Connecting physically will help you two make it through tough times like you are facing now. I'm speaking from experience on that. I'd also suggest perhaps if possible to find a set time every day to have a 10 or 15 minute conversation. Just a "how's your day" supportive intimate connection. Set a timer for the call, and you both get back to the order of the day when it expires. You both will have to be disciplined in keeping it on the highlights and not diving into problems that can wait.
> The problem is that your attention isn't riveted on the mirrors at all times.

Well, sure, no one is going to be perfect, but similarly, no one is going to always check over their shoulder.

> In road tests, you have to do everything by the book, though.

Of course. I expect proctors to do things by the book. That's easier and more consistent than trusting each proctor's judgment. My complaints about the test methodology were in jest, but I do think what I did was not in any way unsafe.
I don't think that attitude is unique to Chinese people. My experience is based on my name rather than looks. Whenever people from my father's country ask me my name, they suddenly expect me to speak their language - and then to tell me what a shame it is when I don't. I've seen the same for British Germans, Polish and Vietnamese too!
One does not simply develop cross-browser. Different browsers have different issues with different graphics cards. As soon as you're not drawing a textured triangle anymore, things get hairy. Same for the audio API. And don't get me started on the sad state of WebRTC and websockets.
PS4 and Switch both have kernel level hacks which have allowed folks to boot pirated copies of games.

But for the most part, I'd say that yeah priacy is effectively dead. The ease of hacking the consoles and running pirated games isn't there (IMO) and thus the percentage of users who are doing it is very small. Much more an enthusiast community moreso than a community of pirates who want to play games.

This could all change, but I don't think that the piracy scene for the newest generation is anywhere close to the last two.

Hell, I remember flashing the firmware on my xbox 360 disk drive within the first year.

Or soldering a modchip into my OG Xbox. RIP that console, best console ever.

> Aside from the fact that it's not in open air

I once put a lot of work into researching how to build an "open air" 3d hologram like they have in the movies and came to the conclusion that it is basically against the laws of physics. This is because its impossible to bend light beams in free space.

There are however a lot of cool tricks and hacks, 3d holograms are a really cool subject, this Looking Glass product looks fantastic I want one.

One of the biggest problems these kinds of holograms in a box have is, even though horizontal scrolling works fine, being able to look at it from the top and bottom does not. Here [1] is a video of a 3d hologram in a box based on a rotating mirror that has a head tracker for viewing from different vertical angles. It's really cool but the thing rotates so fast it's also extremely dangerous.

Another approach for open air 3d holograms is to create a series of small explosions that emit light by shooting dangerous high powered lasers into the air and using plasma emission. See [2]

Finally here is a cool video of some fan based holograms [3]

Well I admit, I never did the math on my rule of thumb. Perhaps it's time to revise it and give even more space. Maybe I've been, despite effort, still following too closely. Like I said, I try to give maximum space and be as responsible as possible. Not perfect though. I can still improve as a driver, as your math shows.
Ask HN: KPI's for Developers / Metrics for Devs?
We didn't ship the things we wanted to last quarter because we were too ambitious in setting goals (we should have committed less)...and our director also happened to leave mid-quarter. The leadership team is now asking us to implement KPI's. The rest of the company has them, so shouldn't the dev team? In their best world, every individual in the company would have KPI's...so you can see when someone is doing their shit and if they're not, you can address it.

Honestly, I'm skeptical. "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." (Goodhart's Law). I especially don't believe in individual KPI's.

What kinds of metrics could we look at using to satisfy the rest of the company without making devs lives harder? How hard should we push back against individual KPI's? Are individual KPI's even possible? What about team KPI's? Are there any good books or articles out there that can help solve this problem?

Thanks!
Apple’s Precarious and Pivotal 2019
The design of its batteries is another advantage. Air cooled batteries, as in the 2018 Leaf, come with some rather big disadvantages. This makes the 150 Kwh battery that comes with the 2018 Leaf a lot more limited than the same size battery in an older Tesla.
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I have lousy eyesight. It's easy for me to miss details like that.

The point is that when you're looking to redevelop, you go after low-hanging fruit -- like, for example, low-rise / brownfield industrial districts where the industry and people left decades ago and would otherwise never be coming back in great numbers. Like say the waterfronts in Brooklyn / Queens (which are of course exactly the areas the city is focusing on).

You don't just seize and destroy neighborhoods that have been thriving and integrated for 150+ years, like the East Village for example. Which seems to be what you're proposing.

(BTW I say "seize" because what you're proposing would never happen alone on any significant scale without eminent domain).
I’m not sure how much of that is commute, but I’ll echo other comments, try to reduce your hours.

You’re going through a slog with your wife in school. Figure out a way to roll back your time away between now and when she is done with the schooling.

I was in your boat a few years ago. Now I work 8:30-4:30 and will stay late two days a week only. It was tough to get there but we’ll worth it. End of the day, you’ll manage better with a time constraint.

With kids especially, every minute counts. You have a few years and at some point they won’t want to be around you. Don’t lose that time.

For friends, the best luck we’ve had has been setting standing times in advance.

Trying to juggle five calendars over text is a recipie for drama. We have standing group happy hours / dinners that we do on a monthly cycle. It’s less spontaneous, but turned into an awesome tradition.

I avoided making that Swiftian satire of a conclusion, but it did occur to me.

I think it makes sense to push for changes to the production of livestock as well as agriculture, to aggressively combat deforestation, and of course reduce emissions of road transportation, which is 10% of total emissions.
Back when I was a lad, we used to get up before we'd gone to bed to go down the mines!
They're certainly not obligated to reduce tax expenditures. This is the commonly repeated falsehood that the fiduciary duty of a company to its shareholders obligates them to do anything and everything within the law to maximize profit - but that's incorrect. The fiduciary duty is much broader and can be respected while not blindly maximizing profit.

> Why are these questions so hard to answer?

At a micro level, because collecting accurate data on the best diet or the best workout system is functionally impossible and because a lot of the people who are theoretically researching these questions have a ton of conflicts of interest.

At the macro level, these questions basically are answered: eat food, not too much, mostly plants. Exercise regularly with a combination of resistance training and cardiovascular training (i.e. lift something and run/bike/swim somewhere).

The problems come when people:

- get overly bogged down in super-specific details of diet and exercise

- get overly invested in finding outliers to the broad guidelines

- think they're going to find some magic bullet combination of these things that will let them live forever

- are unable, due to personal characteristics or societal structures, to easily follow the two big guidelines

All of which I get, and all of which are traps I've fallen into before. But the anecdotal evidence suggests that there are lots of ways to achieve good health, because humans are wildly adaptable creatures, and obsessing over the details is mostly a waste of time unless you're trying to perform a specific physical task at an extremely high level for an extended period of time.

Well no it might spend that much water, but if the egg is eaten then the water is not wasted.

Also where is this water coming from and going to? It's not a zero sum. The chicken may need this much water to produce an egg but the water doesn't disappear. It goes back into the same system it came from.
Yep. She will be way more free in next 6 months. I have a little more flexibility although there are fires that cause me to miss things.

Thanks for the feedback. Everyone else here who says "quit" or "work wouldn't make you make these choices" isn't understanding.

We're definitely not perfect and work does take over our lives but we both love it. Just have to find a better way to manage the little time we have until her schedule is more free
The only thing I install globally is yarn. It just helps make things more reproducible to install everything locally (except yarn because we don't use npm directly).
Essex Crossing and Atlantic Terminal are poor?

There's no political will? There's political will for affordable housing, which is related to housing density. Hence the zoning changes are attached to below-market rates for 20-30% of the newly-built units. Next there's plenty of political organization with varying opinions - some want more, some want less of this development. It's all trending towards more.

Most of the stuff being redeveloped is re-zoning to residential to something that wasn't. Pfizer for Broadway Triangle, Rheingold in the case of that project, Essex Crossing was empty lots, Pacific Park unused / commercial stuff...

I'm done replying piecemeal to someone's emotive factual errors. I sent you some links in my previous comment to explore. I don't do "Reddit" style emotive discussions.
> Everyone agrees factory farming sucks

Not enough to change their diet though.

> why not push sustainable agriculture instead

Because factory farming _is_ the most environmentally sustainable form of animal agriculture. Environmental sustainability and animal welfare are in competition with each other, to give to one you have to take from the other, so the obvious choice is to simply reduce animal agriculture.
