The Stellar protocol has not been yet peer reviewed. Not saying that is wrong but I would say that when you start relaxing consensus assumptions you can come up with even simpler protocols. For example, using trusted third parties to timestamp your transactions. In this way you solve the ordering issue in consensus (assuming no timestamp can give the same time). For example, imagine if Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and companies from other countries provides this (Microsoft has a timestamp server for creating code certificates).
Also, at least here in India, if you are brilliant in academics (or above average) there are entrance exams and you can get into really excellent colleges (mostly run by central Govt and some by state Govts too - engg, law, medicine, design, journalism etc) at affordable tuition (which may sound like free if compared to US educational cost) and even if that cost also feels a burden education loans are really easy for such better schools and once you start earning those loans are like nothing compared to the salary you get.
Agreed. There is some value in slight hints through gradients or borders.

Problem is, places that use monorepos also tend to have whole teams full of people who feel entitled to f#ck with stuff across the entire repo, often without going through the normal review or other processes for each component. Thus it's not uncommon to commit code early in the day so that you can build packages for system test, find a problem in system test, then come back later the same day to find one of those randos has already "fixed" your code to adhere to some new standard they decided on at lunchtime. Now reverting only your own commit is a mess, and reverting theirs as well invites a s###storm of epic proportions because they're higher-caste than you.

3) A monorepo with significant investment in ecosystem and tooling is a better choise than a polyrepo

For other (smaller) companies, polyrepo might be the better choice because [significant investment in ecosystem and tooling] is not appealing, and the investments of Google et al. have not leaked through sufficiently into general available tools. Some headway is being made in the latter [1], so monorepo might be the "obvious" best choice in 10 years or so.

It's not short-sighted since it's not its intent to be an RSS reader.

I also wouldn't call it short-sighted that Mastodon lacks embedded racing games :-)

I think it's a nice idea to have RSS feeds available on Mastodon, but without changing the technical basis quite a bit (I think), this won't happen without Bots as proxies.
There are two major differences.

1) BMW is a much smaller company, 15x smaller than Apple. Apple's valuation is partly based on them pocketing _most_ of the smartphone profits globally. There is no expectation like that towards BMW. Remember, stock market is a game about expectations.

2) Cars don't seem to be a winner-takes-it-all market. IT services are not always like that either, but closer. It doesn't make your life harder if your friend is using a VW and you're driving a Toyota; but it does make a difference if your friend is on iMessage and you're on Android. So there's a market force towards oligopoly.
In Ontario, an increasing number of pet stores house rescue pets on a temporary basis. At my local Pet Smart, there's a room of cats, 6 or 7. Mostly cohabitating. And every few days they bring half a dozen more. Those little floofs move fast, even the old ones.

Whenever I'm nearby I go in just to see the cats, but also to see all the "I've been adopted!" signs, that seem to make me feel just a bit better about things.

I certainly wouldn't call the conditions anything less than "acceptable". It's not a palace but they're not caged. They're in a maybe 8x8 room full of cat toys, blankets, water, food, gyms, etc.
For easy computations assume octagonal cells. Their vertices will have 135 degrees each. The edges of the portal will be visible because the left and right images do not match (since 3*135 ≠ 360). And a object (as long as it is modelled as an Euclidean 3D object, not a point) will not be able to go through such a vertex.

It's worth pointing out that while Google has a monorepo in Google3, it also doesn't at the same time. We have are other projects such as Android, ones based on Chrome, etc. that are composed of multiple git projects and use repo to manage and sync.

I'm not sure where you're coming from. Where do pet stores got their animals from before this law? If anything it's the opposite, providing a solution for pet shelters that have too many animals they can't rehome.
Same here. I really have no interest in talking for eight hours to an inanimate object.

Maybe it’s just me, but if I’ve been talking for four hours a day, I can feel it the next day as throat itch.
Thanks for the link. The presentation is great!
> … the magazine sells posters of guillotines.

Sounds like glorifying political mass-murder to me. That seems in profoundly poor taste.

Every person who died under the blade of one of those guillotines was a human being, with hopes & fears, good & evil in his soul. The great number of them weren’t murderers, rapists or thieves: they were just people who had the unfortunate bad luck to be born into the wrong caste.
Hrm, guess it depends on your notion of what proof of concepts are. Celeste on pico8 is essentially the same game as the commercial release from a gameplay perspective but with lower res artwork (as pico8 dictates) and far less content (again a pico8 constraint). Also, I have tooled around with writing homebrew NES games in 6502 asm, and pico8 is nothing like that. It’s a stripped down lua interpreter, which makes it light years easier than asm. I’ve proved out quite a few concepts in pico8 (pendulum motion, an entity component system, 2d physics models), so for me, that’s exactly what it’s for. The constraints of the platform are there to act as guard rails which prevent you from going “too big” with your idea and focus on creating smaller programs that actually work, and I think this is where the beauty lies since a lot of games die during the “let me create a bunch of scaffolding” phase which pico8 discourages.
I do have automatic withdrawals, but unfortunately I often end up taking some of that back into my main account. I also have 10% being kept from me each month by my employer as part of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan - it is my one bit of savings that I literally cannot touch until the shares are actually purchased. The next purchase period is in February and my plan is to immediately pay off my thankfully fairly minor debt and then learn not to touch the rest.
‘Seattle-ization’? American cities fear what’s happened here
This is a great move. Many pets sold in a pet store come from puppy mills which are terrible places. Even if a person wants a particular breed, you can almost always find a specific rescue. Rescues also typically stop people from doing stupid things like bringing an English bulldog into a house with small children. Which in turn ends up putting another animal into a shelter or rescue.

My wife volunteers for a bulldog rescue, and we have adopted 3 French bulldogs (in addition to many cats over the years). If my wife had her way we would live on a farm and adopt every animal in need.
A big part of 5G are deployments at sub-6Ghz frequencies.

So for this part, you do not have to worry about 5G being short range or easily blocked. Compared to LTE you will still get benefits like flexible numerology (ie. lower latency) and full duplex (ie. increased bandwidth).

The name 5G is more of a marketing term rather than an accurate technical description, just like the term "retina display". Different vendors can market the same technology very differently. For example, HSPA was marketed as 3.5G, 3G+, Turbo 3G, 3.7G, 3.9G and even 4G. It did not help that HSPA evolved a bit during its lifetime. I would not be surprised if operators arbitrary decide to call whatever they are using 5G.
It isn't even the clicks or stutters, though that can be annoying. It's the stickiness. I turn on my bluetooth speaker and ... it connects to a phone in the other room. So, now I have to walk through the house to find it and turn off bluetooth. Now I can connect to the speaker with my phone.

Headphones, same issue, phone wants to initially connect to any other bluetooth device except the headphones in my hand. So, now I have to dig into settings, etc... I don't have that issue with 3.5mm jacks.
Can you imagine an occupation where you have to give speeches all day?

I'm not sure what GIC and HISA are, but it sounds like they may be US-specific? I'm in Europe, not sure what the equivalent is here if any.
Ideologies often dont make much sense in the real world. The world's leading economies are in fact mixed.

The best way I've found to find truth seems to be the scientific method. Test your ideas and reject the ones that fail.

Ideologies are antithetical to that. But people are smug enough to think they just simply know better and dont need to test and modify their theories of the world.

StockX | Detroit | Full-time ONSITE | https://stockx.com/jobs
From HR:

StockX is the world’s first 'stock market of things' for high-demand, limited edition sneakers, streetwear, watches, and handbags. Launching in 2016, our live marketplace allows users to anonymously buy and sell limited edition consumer products with stock market-like visibility.

From an engineer:

- Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube all visited our offices in the last month. Snoop took pictures with people.
- We're well funded, growing fast. Just closed Detroit's largest VC round ($44MM from GV, Battery).
- Engineering team is doubling to 120ish in the next 6 months.
- Link above has some job descriptions and ways to apply.
- Our edge team is doing cool stuff with serverless. We're over a billion invocations of our lambda functions a month.

Tech StackX:
- Clients: iOS with Swift + Android moving from Java to Kotlin + React/Redux on web
- Edge/Serverless: Cloudflare (workers are coming!), AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambdas (Node.js), DynamoDB/Redis for caching
- Backend: PHP/MySQL moving to Node.js and Go microservices with Kubernetes, Redis, Postgres, other things
- DevOps: AWS! Terraform! So many things!
- Other: Really depends on the team. There's autonomy to try new things. What do you want to use?
I've used Redash [1] and Saiku [2] with good success. Redash is a swiss army knife approach to dashboarding and can run/schedule queries against a plethora of data sources and visualise in different ways

Saiku uses Mondrian (OLAP) tech to give a slice/dice drill down view of data. Unfortunately the docs for Saiku seem very disjointed these days - there's a docker image for the CE (Community Edition) that I recently setup okay. Quite a learning curve on setting up Mondrian schemas here, though, but worth it when it's done.

All the evidence I've seen points to it being almost always better to tax and regulate markets than to push them underground.
I used to be a cancer researcher. "used to" mainly because of people like this cancer researcher you showed, who often have no clue (or have archaic preconceived notions) about a lot of things that affect their experiments such as this. The vast majority of them cannot tell the difference between one and two tailed t tests, and have little regard to the degree to which the artificiality of their experimental conditions screws up their results.

This is precisely the reason "50% of cancer research is irreproducible" is a conservative statement.

If you have the same functionality that can't be re-used (for no reason), then I'd call that a design flaw.

I'll need a few more validation functions for each clients. I don't want to write+maintain multiple functions that do the same thing, even if it's just copy+paste.

It's "data" validation. So let's put that in the "data layer" repo.

We now have, at least:

- Server

- Web (GUI)

- Android

- iOS

- Data

- More clients?

We'll also have branches for each development task. How do we know what branch the other branches should use? One "simple" feature can easily spread over multiple repos. Does each repo refer to the repo+branch it depends upon (don't forget to update the references when we merge!), or we add a "build" repo which acts as the orchestrator?

Most PRs will need to be daisy chained - who reviews each one? Will they get comitted at the same time?

How do we make the builds reproducible? commit hashes? tags? ok, we now need to tag each repo, and update the references to point to that tag/hash... but that changes the build.

Well, I'm glad our code base is split over multiple repos because "scalability".
Seriously? It seems really inhuman to me.

One word. Consensus.

Ethereum is not ready yet. When it is ready it will be decentralised. Still, miners need to agree for the hard fork and if they don't just like Ethereum Classic they can split. Protocol changes in blockchain projects are about consensus.

> And that's not because of the battery, that's just because of the software updates. Like, the CPU didn't lose any MHz along the way.

The software changed its requirements. Within reasonable limits that's just the nature of technological advancement and availability of faster hardware. I don't know if the performance degradation of iOS 11 and 10 were reasonable, but judging by user feedback Apple seems to have increased performance with iOS 12, particularly for older devices. Of course that comes too late for the iPhone 5C, which isn't supported anymore.
This sort of thing sits wrong with me.

Why don't they force the breeders to have better conditions for the animals, and include livestock and lab animals along with it?

By doing it this way they aren't acknowledging there is a demand for certain breeds of dogs unlikely to be found at a shelter. The market is going to find a way around this, either by dealing with the dealers' directly (or through some sort of "finder") or going out of state.

Either way, the poor conditions for animals are going to continue in some shape or form, and no one is going to be able to set up a breeder farm that treats its animals ethically without finding a way to sell their animals, which means jumping through yet another hoop.

It's just dumb, kind of insulting to the voters, and I suspect the politicians for this were intending to avoid taking the heavy donors of the farming/pharmaceutical industries to task while still trying to cast themselves in a progressive light.
Or, you know, listen to your existing users. For all the bleating about professional features, they sure miss big ones like CMYK support.

I've already applied to a few positions from the last HN posting and haven't heard anything back. I think I'm a relatively strong candidate for the position, would love to get an email back regarding the positions I applied for.

Thanks.
That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Rewrites are incredibly hard, and these things tend to suffer from second-system effect.
