RDBM's are a domain, and have their own terminology.
While that may be true, everything I have seen has told me to absolutely not give my baby salty food.
Do you feel the same way about a current-gen mid-tier GPU vs a 4 year old GPU? Why or why not?

What about cars? Are you proclaiming that everyone should drive a Corolla? Or that everyone should drive whatever it is that you personally drive?

Who are you to decide what is significant to the "average" person, if there is such a thing?
Your frustration is understandable, but I hope you don’t give up. The history books are full of people who’ve made invaluable contributions despite facing any manner of social challenges.

It’s worth noting that trading on sex appeal for money and power is an avenue plenty of men pursue as well. We are a sexually reproducing species so it’s always going to be of major importance thanks to selection pressure.
I wonder if we'll see a new SE. I hope so.
Feels weird to see Microsoft as a technology in the top technologies diagram. Also it is surprising that there are many job posts for assembly.
I'd pay a pretty penny for a cure, or total suppression of transmission.

It's not life altering in any way besides the fact that HSV2 has such a strong stigma in the US and tends to turn away a non insignificant number of romantic partners. From a health perspective, I had a rash once in my life and basically entirely forgot about even having it (outside of taking 800mg of Acyclovir every day), but from a social perspective, it adds a 50-70% chance that someone will turn you down. Dating is non-trivial already, adding another 2/3 dropoff to your dating life is no joke. On the plus side, it was nice to see a show like Adam Ruins Everything cover the issue to try to dispel some of the stigma, but I suspect that it will not be addressed within my lifetime.

Additionally, in the state of California it's a well known way to shake down people of wealth. I always disclose my status before getting intimate, as required by law, but I also need to make sure that I have your consent somewhere in writing. Otherwise later you can claim that you were never told, you got the virus, and it's my fault, and now you're entitled to restitutions for the stress and damages to your lifestyle. It becomes a he said vs she said and practically a coin toss that decides if you are to part ways with anything between $100k to a few million. You always think "Is this person going to be the one who decides to use me to make a buck?". My legal counsel always advises that a new partner send me an email consenting to the risks she would be exposing herself to by engaging in intercourse.

If that's not romance at its finest, I don't know what is.

Wilderness (1985)

From the sound of it, RDR2 would be a great starting point to build a modern implementation of Wilderness.
Interesting, although the article is strangely silent on the subject of property taxes, which are extremely high in NY. NYC and surrounding areas undoubtedly have higher property values, so perhaps the ratio holds, but the rest of the state is very very big. It may also be that property taxes don't find their way to the state coffers, I'm honestly unsure.
Maybe not $300 but I can get a sony xperia xz2 compact for 3000 NOK ($345ish). Sony makes the cameras in many other phones including iphone.
I have the larger version, but my wife has this and it takes excellent photos.
If you never bounce ideas off of anyone else, its too easy to lead yourself down the path of convincing yourself that you are right.
I'd be curious if there's a trick to doing this (or aproxamitly) without relying on the Equinox.

I wonder if the explosion in homelessness is in any way related to the importation of voters from San Francisco & related areas. Similar policies, similar problems?
Huh? You'd download dependencies for the repos you need, not the code and dependencies for the entire company.

It could be several orders of magnitude larger and with a larger organization could be a lot of unnecessary code that any given Dev may never touch.
If I only need to check out one of the smaller repos then I've gained quite a lot in terms of download speed, storage size, etc. Git LFS adds a lot of complexity I'd rather avoid.
HFT shops refer to things on nanosecond and sometimes even picosecond scale if you want to talk seriously about it.

They are very easy. I had some long time ago and they even lay eggs and breed in my aquarium, but is not my favourite kind of fish for a community aquarium. Having evolved in clean and rapid rivers in India they are fast and nervous. Always darting and ready to engulf any food scrap. Can be a real source of stress for the other tank inhabitants and also for the owner (all you see most of the time is a blur when you try to observe your fishes).

I wonder how they can pick up a male and two females in a larvae pool. The sexual dimorfism on young zebrafishes is close to inexistent.

I had breeded fishes more transparent that those larvae, but must admit that the macrophage video is very cool.

My preference for inventing over learning is what I hypothesized as a learning disability. Does this really require the opinion of a _________ specialist?
I use public transit unless leaving the city, almost never use uber/lyft, and yet have a new iPhone.

Why? I hate driving and would rather be reading or goofing off on twitter than being angry behind the wheel as I get somewhere.

Not for everyone but I'll never go back to driving.
Not enough to warrant a near-trillion dollar market cap.
The issue I have with this sort of bioengineering is that it assumes we understand the processes well enough to identify real mistakes. The “byproduct” could be a key component for the long-term survival of the plant.
Apple has been aiming for the mass market though, even if at the slightly pricier end of it. How exactly have they not been? Though it does seem from here on out, they might try to shrink their market and focus more on luxury products.
It seems the Semantic Web is truly taking off with MIT/Inrupt.com's SOLID effort - where all communication between decentralized machines is via rdf triples. We are about to launch this commercially.
I'm using 1984 [1]. I'm writing a blog post on this soon [2], but in short I use Ubuntu Server LVM [3], unlock my system via Dropbear SSH (a very small SSH client)[4] and did move the entry point of incoming data to another server which will store the incoming data only when the main server is down. This is because I want to keep recording incoming data and my encrypted server can't boot without me entering a password. So in case of a power failure the data of my customers will still be recorded.

Too slow as in "to do it" or too slow as in "to use it". In either case I think if that were true there wouldn't be monorepo's at Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. I will say it's true that didn't come for free, e.g. Microsoft had to make GVFS due to the sheer enormity of their codebase but that's already done and works pretty well.

I agree share library style makes more sense in most cases though. The main problem with it is forcing everyone to use the latest library versions but that isn't insurmountable by any means.

My suggestion for KidkArolis is to rename his project to one fo these:

> I never understood why bicycles aren't required to ride on the sidewalks in areas that have them.

I'm so positively gobsmacked that a statement this plainly ignorant came from a fellow HN participant, I don't even know where to begin.

Start with: bicycles are vehicles—always have been, in fact.

Pedestrians are not. Sidewalks are for pedestrians. (It's not a "sideride" after all. )

Even razor/bird scooters on sidewalks are typically forbidden—we have PSAs on the buses here in LA reminding e-scooter riders to ride in the road.

Bikes can participate in traffic, so they ought to be on the road. Bikes mix better with cars than bikes mix with pedx: anyone who walks in a city regularly would know this.

Wow. Just ... wow.
Hmm... I'm not convinced by that. At least in the UK, I don't know many people who use FaceTime (WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are the most popular video chat software). People do use iMessage, but that falls back to SMS if you don't have an iphone, and SMS messages are universally free here these days.
Nobody. It's called a loan which Apple offers as part of the plan; they call it the Apple Upgrade Program.
It's not a trick, you can do it, but the geometry and the calculations are more complicated. At Equinox we don't have to know or worry about the axial tilt. Away from Equinox we do have to both know it and use it.

It's not hard, but there's a lot more too it, so it starts to lose its elegance and simplicity.
No need to checkout a terabyte of code. If your repo is scaling that high, you're going to want a VFS layer. Microsoft made a VFS layer for Git. As you might imagine, you simply grab files as needed, and your version control just deals with diffs for the most part. Google's own monorepo is proprietary but the Bazel build system is open source and would work great with a VCS hooked up with a VFS layer.
And most of them aren't getting jobs. Software development and acting are barely comparable professions. The average programmer is far better off than the average actor, even with their Union
There's more to an item, especially one like a piece of clothing which involves design, than its utility value.

For a t-shirt, these things jump immediately to mind that may increase its cost:

- A limited batch

- A particular cut

- A particular print

- Supporting a clothing brand / designer you have a connection with

Why judge someone so harshly because they value some other aspect of the item differently than you? There's something incredibly ugly about being confident in your ignorance and casting judgement on other people.
> If a mono-repo has a terabyte of code, or if 10 small repos have 1/10th a terabyte each, what have you really gained?

If it's a small company where every developer touches every part of the application, sure. Taking the FAANG approach if you're not part of that acronym sounds like introducing inefficiency.
If you want something truly configuration-free you could try Meteor. It's mostly an advanced zero-configuration (not even optional) build tool these days that supports automatic code splitting via dynamic imports, full npm integration, multiple bundles (old/new browsers), ...
Typescript support could be better, but I believe they're working on that.

Of course being zero-config you loose some flexibility.
Sure, there are definitely different degrees of censorship. Sometimes it happens for good reason -- slander, libel, inciting violence, exposing children to pornography. Sometimes it happens for bad reasons -- to suppress different opinions, to intimidate individuals, or simply to exert undue power over another one for monetary gain.

But censorship is censorship, and when we refuse to call it by its name, we allow ourselves to forget that there is a powerful force controlling what we can see and consume. That kind of power must be checked, and checked always, and we must constantly re-affirm our consent to that power just as often.
Personalized bio weapons and future plans going on for centuries. Sounds silly to me, the case is over done.

what about the discussion of microservices? Why would you ever have these products separate by servers all in one repo? These technical constraints dont really help and are just another attempt to create a silver bullet.
Also, I believe if we're being pedantic, this causes issues:

> However, because the Moon (and to a lesser extent the other planets) cause the motion of the Earth to vary from a perfect ellipse, the equinox is now officially defined by the Sun's more regular ecliptic longitude rather than by its declination. The instants of the equinoxes are currently defined to be when the longitude of the Sun is 0° and 180°.[4] There are tiny (up to 1¼ arcsecond) variations in the Sun's latitude (discussed below), which means the Sun's center is rarely precisely over the equator under the official definition. The two understandings of the equinox can lead to discrepancies of up to 69 seconds.

Yes, there are absolutely skin products that improve the skin. If you read the article, they mention tretonoin (originally marketed as Retin-A), a retinoid, is frequently used as a skin rejuvenating agent. It has genuine medical uses; softening fine lines is a happy side effect more than anything. It's a prescription cream. There's also urea (also called carbamide), niacinemide and many others that modify skin biology in subtle ways. As the article mentions, many of the beauty treatments are in fact not creams, but things like laser treatments.

A very interesting history of the NYC subway. https://www.amazon.com/722-Miles-Building-Subways-Transforme...

It's been years since I read it, but as I recall, the system was built by private entities, who were gradually driven out of business when the city set a cap on the price of a fare (first at a nickel, then at a dime). When they folded one by one, they got subsumed into the MTA, and I guess at some point it was decided that it was ok to raise the price.
For a stretch of a few hundred feet (like a city block) where you'll both likely come to a stop, do you prefer cars overtake you beforehand or to trail behind? Do cars trailing you make you anxious?

I don't think I've ever forgotten about a biker I've passed, but I also like to avoid situations where I might forget, which put the biker in a position to surprise me, or which impede my maneuverability if something else happens.

But while I'm okay poking along for a block, if there's traffic behind me then that could result in an impatient driver overtaking both of us, which could be far worse. It's a tricky balancing act.
Ask HN: Do you think this is a reason to work without being paid?
Hi fellow hackers,

I'm a remote dev, it took me a while to get to where I am now, working for fun brands on challenging projects, while also working on my own side-projects.

A while ago I watched a James Bond movie and thought "I want to have access to that kind of luxury, but would be embarrassed to keep it to myself". I came up with the idea to set up a network of talented devs + designers and give them access to perk-filled mansions all over the globe, in return for a few hours of fun agency work a day. I personally love the idea of surrounding myself with talent constantly.

Last summer I got a fun job in for Red Bull Music Academy, and was wondering if I could shape this into a try-out for the idea. It worked: many talented devs and designers applied. I initially thought it would be mostly rookies that would apply, but instead most applicants were experienced and highly skilled. Red Bull was happy too: we managed to build the most successful game of the year on the Mind Gamers platform.

Next try-out is in Bali, 1- 27 Feb 2019. We're building the sequel of a VueJS synthesizer game for Red Bull Mind Gamers, built with Tatsuya Takahashi. 2/5 slots still available.

I noticed quite a few people don't like the idea of working for free, when I post about it online. My question: what is your opinion on this? If you are amongst the ones taking offence: can you think of what we can change to make it more appealing to you?

Help is highly appreciated!

The initial message:

Imagine you could stay and work for free in a perk-filled mansion, amongst world's most talented devs + designers, in exchange for a few hrs/day agency work for inspiring brands.

Flagship games have DLC, or season passes that makes the actual cost more than $60 for early buyers, and ekes out extra revenue for later sales.

>Researchers and engineers working on the GM Rear Camera Mirror have been awarded 10 patents – one for the streaming video mirror and nine for video processing. The patents cover innovations in the wide field of view camera image calibration, de-warping, glare reduction and camera hardware design.

I assume that this will add some friction to adoption of similar video mirrors by other automakers.
It would be challenging for the developers to make sure 3rd party skins were balanced for competitive play.

I wonder if China is seeing any impediments due to people being loathe to invest in a country where personal freedoms are very restricted and millions of their citizens are swept up in re-education camps. I would be hesitant from a personal standpoint but most larger wealth funds are probably not so restricted. By the same token neither are most manufacturers.
How well does it work with Linux? I didn't see anything about it on the site. It'd be neat to hook up to my laptop, but if Linux isn't supported at all there'd be no point.
> Personally, iMessage and shared iPhoto galleries between a dozen family members around the globe make it fairly "sticky" with me, but there's no reason I couldn't just consume the photos on desktop.

Just last night I re-evaluated the various photo services that were of most interest to me (Apple Photos, Google Photos, OneDrive, Amazon Photos), and settled on Apple Photos. As a macOS/Windows/Android user, who is normally pretty aggressively platform-agnostic I see abandoning mobile access to my photo library as the least-bad option available.
It's not 'AI' - just a statistical filter. A short term solution which will maintain horribly in the future. When this transfers to actual insights then yes.
Yes indeed - "Equinox" us being used here as a shorthand for "the date that makes this work, which is roughly Equinox, but might be a little different".

The differences are small, there are larger error margins elsewhere in the calculations as given. It's an interesting exercise to start to chase these down and make this as precise as possible, but that wasn't the purpose of the post.
I agree it should be an option, but I do really like being able to use one connector to satisfy all my charging, keyboarding, mousing, videoing, sounding, and other peripheraling needs.

A MagSafe-like magnetic connector that spoke USB 3.1 or whatever Type C uses would be perfection and would make me seriously consider buying a modern Mac.
Sounds like a tooling problem. We shouldn't use the current state of tooling as an excuse.

Thank you so much for writing this. As someone who’s worked in the best and worst of these two words, the productivity gains are absolutely insane and the limitations, as stated by the author, are no more painful than limitations of federated/polyrepo code.

Fighting back against monorepo design is dangerous - embrace experimentation.
Absolutely. Think about turning a super tanker or something other huge. It must happen on time. It doesn't matter if it takes one or two seconds to initiate.
I suppose that means that at least the category theorists might get some use out of it.
To add to this, if you travel to China, find someone ahead of time that you can prearange to send USD to in exchange for red envelopes in WeChat. Getting it setup with any of your own banking is a royal PITA, and many places only accept wechat payment or alipay.
To guard against the risk of a bug/design flaw affecting all vehicles simultaneously, I would include an independent "dumb" override that was too dumb to drive but could stop all vehicles as soon as any of several TBD conditions occurred, regardless of what the primary "smart" system was telling the vehicle to do. It wouldn't be "smart" AI, but just something listening to both the AI's smart sensors and it's own, independent, simple sensors, and if ANY of them reported a listed condition, it would override the smart system and stop traffic.

Human intervention would be required to enable the vehicles to move again.

After some real-world experience, I would want to give the emergency stop system the ability to release the hold on one layer of vehicles at a time, allowing the smart AI to drive again but at a speed limited by the "dumb" system to nothing faster than human walking speed, enabling them to clear the area. If they cleared without further incident, the next layer would be released until the whole stoppage either cleared itself or was restopped because something was still wrong.
That's interesting and fits with SF -> Portland migration as well, but were policy preferences in Seattle all that different from SF before the last few years?
