"But I've observed that negative people easily self-prophesy into negative situations far more often than positive people." Very much agree with this.
Wow very cool. I’m actually a graduate student at Harvard getting my master’s in biology and CS, so this is right up my alley. I’m going to dive deeper into Serotiny and check out some of the awesome work you guys are doing. Do you offer internships for folks like me?

I’d heard about Asimov from their original work on Cello at MIT, but SBOL is news to me. I’ll check it out as well.

It sounds like this space is becoming pretty competitive, which is interesting.

> English speaking country, stable and predictable legal framework, cosmopolitan city.

English speaking being the only real differentiator here and probably the most critical reason. However that only goes so far. And what for sure has changed is that we're down from 20+ currencies before to one huge single market with mostly the same currency.

How that all factors in is impossible to say, but to argue that nothing has/will change seems equally unrealistic as the over-the top reporting of the media suggesting the UK banking sector will collapse. Things will go on, but my bet would be there will be a considerable hit.
You're right. Here in the exurbs where there's 6 lane highways and one way is completely clogged, I can see miles and miles of empty space where housing could've been built, had the zoning commission any common sense at all. It's just, employee's choices are very limited and you don't get to choose which companies are highering. Employees can say they want to leave the bay area/high COL areas all they want, doesn't mean employers have to do it.
That is separate from tax structure.
For some people it's about getting to the destination on time. Plus on the way there I don't think they were about to send a report ticket.
There is foreign earned income exclusion. Which stops at $100K but this is still a lot for many people.

I’m not American so it’s not my problem, but it’s what I hear from other tax exiles.

My parents are American but given the choice for me to become American I declined due to the whole tax issue.
I love this. I did something similar .. but then I kept on putting them through the wash. I briefly looked up notebooks that are washing machine safe, but I think the ones I found cost more than I wanted to spend.

I'll give this a go, again, but be more diligent about taking stuff out of my pockets for laundry. Well, I'll try to be, at least.
Hey thanks, I’ll check out the video! That seems super cool
Where? Somewhere with decent jobs or do you need a remote gig?
For games, benchmarks are released. Computerbase for example has their review article online, https://www.computerbase.de/2019-01/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-.... For that workload it's at the level of a GTX 1080/RTX 2070 when overclocked, only a bit lower on stock. Pretty good, and clearly faster than the 1070.
Rather than treating predicting startup success as an intractable problem, I think anyone considering joining a startup should act like a startup investor making a bet on how much the value of equity in that startup will grow over time. Startup investors do this for a living and that's essentially what you are too. You're investing your time and they are investing money.
I work for VCV, which also ships for Linux. I don't find it an issue at all, since the build system is a Makefile supporting Mingw64/MSYS2 on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

We statically link everything except glibc, which we've decided to dynamically link to glibc 2.23 (meaning that Ubuntu 16.04 is the oldest we support). We've had no problems with this approach, although the disadvantage is that we have to use an old version of GCC to compile the software, since I haven't figured out a way to make a new GCC version produce binaries which link to old glibc.

No need for containers or anything, just make a mostly-static-except-for-glibc binary.
Again, it'll take about ten seconds for those London Banks to spawn subsidiaries in a member state to take care of that.

Meanwhile they get to drop the EU common external tariff. That alone will be a significant economic benefit to UK.
Most jobs hire for minimum wage in Mid-South with no benefits. They also try to give you part-time, not full-time. Think 12-16 hours for many people. There's enough desperate people that the employers are happy to ignore or fire anyone who wants more money or better schedule. That's easy because it's At-Will Employment.

So, that's the baseline to compare against for these welfare programs.
It means one of two things:

- Of the cases he reviewed since 2013, approximately 80% were denied. This would, as you note, be better phrased as "80 percent of the cases he reviewed were denied".

- Each year since 2013, he reviewed an unknown number of cases, and a certain percentage of those cases were denied. The arithmetic mean of those 6 yearly percentages is approximately 80%.

In the second case, the 80% figure is meaningless, but it's a calculation people often perform despite that fact.
Besides your personal anecdote, there is no data to support you premise. Price increases for the flagship iPhone have resulted with increases of the average selling price across the entire line.

One of the major points of the article is that potentially, the XR just like the 5C, did not perform as well as Apple expected, because consumers want to buy the "best."
This is a really great analysis of the situation but I think Ben, and Tim Cook in his public statements, are missing one important point: iOS 12 made the older devices (iPhone 5s, 6) run _much_ better than they were running on iOS 11 [1, 2, 3]. They improved the software so much on this iteration of iOS that they probably relieved a lot of the hardware upgrade pressure users were beginning to feel in the first half of 2018.

It will be very interesting to see if Apple even supports the iPhone 6 generation of hardware on the next version of iOS. If not, or if the software performance regresses significantly, I would expect the hardware upgrade pressure to really ratchet up again in the fall.

> There are several professional IDEs geared towards ARM embedded development

Having been an embedded developer for around a decade, yeah they exist but are absolutely terrible. I seriously don't understand how Keil, Metrowerks, and IAR still make sales. Like, they're somehow worse than the FPGA toolchains I had to deal with.

If RISC-V doesn't get those parasitic business models attached to it, it'll be better off.
> When states take in more tax than their expenses, they run a surplus. When they take in less, they run a deficit. Usually when they run a surplus, they find ways to spend it after not too long.

Those ways to spend it typically help the poor, so taxing the rich more helps the poor. The money doesn't magically disappear.
I've seen reasons listed and also:

- Health Care. Before a few years ago, it was possible to be completely rejected by all carriers and not be able to buy it at any price. Even with insurance, a major illness or chronic condition can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions and wipe out a lifetime of savings.

That reminds me of a Billy Joel (singer) interview. He said he was always asked if he was happy now and he stressed out when he couldn't answer yes. He ended up pursuing happiness at high cost. He eventually realized just because he wasn't happy didn't mean he was sad. Happiness and sadness are extremes. Most of the time you just are. He learned to just be and appreciate the happy times.
One of the best uses of GitHub is being able to search for some obscure framework method name or enum constant, and find examples of working code that uses it. This has saved my life many times when trying to figure out how to configure Java frameworks to interact with each other.

When searching for this kind of code, you have to wade through an awful lot of repos containing half-baked personal projects, experiments, unmodified clones of upstream frameworks, and barely-modified boilerplate examples. It would be nice if there was less of this detritus clogging up the search results.

However, sometimes the code you actually want is embedded in some otherwise useless, half-baked personal project, or barely-modified boilerplate example. So if all these projects disappear behind a veil of privacy, maybe it won't be a net win.
I don't think tublr has an issue with guns considering that they eventually allowed the posts and the rest of rather large collection of gun photos wasn't flagged.
D’oh! Fixed, thanks.
> comparing Red to Clojure when Red doesn't run on 64-bit machines is also misguided

It is misguided, and such comparison wasn't made by any of official representatives, if that's what you imply. I only recall that decision to make a split between Red Foundation and core development team was influenced by Clojure business model, which is backed by Cognitect (correct me if I'm wrong).

Project has ambitious goals and strong, visionary roadmap. Perhaps too strong, as your comparison to TempleOS is slightly worrisome to me ;) Which tells me that current approach to marketing and overall pitching should be reconsidered...

However, I strongly disagree that Red is esoteric, and all technological advances with implemented features up to this point (covered in official blog) serve as a testament to it.

As for small community - risking to sound like a snob, I'll say that Red might not be for everyone, so as any other language - it pick you, not the other way around. Besides, this is still the early days for us, full of ups and downs, challenges and struggles. These things, they take time [1].

Happiness is a process, not a destination. I have seen far too many of my colleagues get the spouse, the house, and the children and then go ".... oh shit, now what?".
There are other things that governments do besides tax and spend. Things like individual and civil rights and freedoms, etc.
This is an awesome detailed response from an informed perspective, thank you! I’ll check out the article.

Do you think that despite the high error resulting from the sheer complexity of those interactions, design tools would be useful to researchers? Or is it mostly just long shot proof of concepts with no practical purpose right now?
Yeah, I agree. The older versions would pop up a warning and force you to acknowledge it, but it felt like something that would have driven away casual users who maybe didn't understand or care about the implications.

In saying that, the previous behaviour can be restored (for you) but you can't force it onto users who are communicating with you.
> I'm not sure disability should be paid to anyone who is obese.

Forced starvation diets tend to kill people.
I've paid $8 for the basic plan for years.
It'll be interesting to see how aggressive they are in trying to gain market share by putting off profitability improvements for the Github business. $40b in operating income and $135b in cash, they can certainly afford to play the long game if it makes sense competitively.
OMG I forgot about TELLME. We used the bejesus out of that at the time.
I drive a toyota at 180k and it's fine. It's not pretty or perfect, but it gets me to and from work with no issue.

I should get around to replacing some suspension components to make it more comfortable to drive, probably will later this year when I get some time. They're not terribly expensive.
Yep, although one of the products this competes with is Azure DevOps - which also offers unlimited git repos... and is of course also owned by Microsoft!

I'm wondering what the future holds for both GitHub and Azure DevOps. I actually use both, and have done for several years, and they're both great products - I'd hate for either of them to go away.

Sure, I realise I'm something of an anomaly in my views. Something of a tangent I know, but I can't even walk to my local shop without being choked by diesel pollution, and this in a not particularly large southern town. Is this supposed to be progress?
um, no, it sure looks like the electric car is already taking over...
I am not an expert but from what I have read after a few years people drop off the unemployment numbers and aren't counted anymore. They pretty much cease to exist as far as the employment world goes. Either they have to go on welfare or disability.
Maybe, maybe not...

Open source is just as much a culture. I don't mind fewer repositories without a LICENSE.

I suspect people who wanted free private hosting used gitlab or bitbucket.

Last time I checked, both AMD and Nvidia expect you to download manufacturer drivers for Windows. I'm willing to jump through similar hoops for Linux. (Incidentally, when someone complains about how hard it is to install Linux, that person has usually never tried installing Windows without using the OEM disc from the manufacturer. Take that away, and Windows becomes a lot harder.)

Linux support for Optimus and friends is abysmal, I agree. When I say good things about Nvidia's Linux support, I am referring to their discrete desktop and workstation cards.
Adding Glue to a Desktop Environment
Anybody else find it ironic that there's such a barrier for people to get approval in the name of protecting taxpayer dollars, meanwhile huge amounts of taxpayer dollars are spent on paying these contract doctors?
> In several decades people in Britain will be asking why people in Poland have a better standard of living than them.

In case this ever happens - it won't - this will be attributed to the EU pumping billions into Poland's budget every year. Net benefit to Poland is higher than the UK's yearly contribution to the EU budget nowadays.
I was left very disappointed with the quality of his images. He used a large format camera, so there ought to be a lot of detail and grit in these images, but the framing and the processing leads to pretty dull images...
Too much, and too dull skies, boring central compositions etc...

Traditionally, large format photographers would produce much more interesting work!
Similarly, if I hear from all my friends that a program crashes a lot on Linux, I'm much less likely to want to download it in the first place.
Accidental breaches do happen; they're embarrassing, but not critical. Deliberately or repeatedly breaching embargos will quickly put you on a blacklist. Nobody is going to provide you with embargoed press releases if they don't trust you.
I can only speak for myself, but I had simply put all of my private stuff over in GitLab instead. For folks like me, this will result in no external change. Just a question of where I stash stuff.
I like the last two paragraphs :p
The Definitive Guide to Contributing to Open Source
> Name one important issue where the EU has reached a satisfactory agreement and results.

Whenever someone asks for one single thing, they don't mean it. I predict anything I name will either not be important enough or you will not consider anything less than complete unanimity across the continent to be satisfactory.

But fine, I'll play. Abolition of mobile roaming charges across the EU.
California.

Sure, there are bad actors occasionally that need to be clamped down on. But it's hard to argue on the whole that the US' forest management isn't a massive success based on the stats from above.
Awesome, I hadn’t come across Luca Cardelli’s work before, I’ll check this out! Thank you :)
But why is this a problem? You don't go to work there and then you are stuck for 20 years. You can learn in 3 months if it is viable and if not, assuming you are well credentialed and easily employable, move on. It's worth the chance if you've drunk the kool-aid otherwise.

You're just giving yourself reasons to fail. Give yourself a reason to succeed.

This is exactly where I'm at, my 970 handles everything I've needed so far.

I'm interested in exploring VR dev, but am waiting until I have a new GPU, and can't really justify the upgrade yet. I've had my eye on the recent Ryzen cards, but I'm not sold on the reliability yet compared to Nvidia.

I do like that AMD at least seems to be trying to play nice with the open source drivers and kernel infrastructure, but in practice Nvidia still seems to be the most straightforward solution, so... meh.
Nice. I wonder though whether in 5 years they won't discover it costs them money and decide to take it back.
Yep, but intented this way.
If you want I suspect you can just go play with:
https://blog.github.com/2017-01-19-github-data-ready-for-you...

I guess it only counts open source projects, but still that's a lot of data.
It seems they should just feed the reviewers some small percentage of redundant claims, and use statistics to direct oversight and scrutiny. The high-volume reviewers who statistically disagree with their peers would be easy to spot.
Sounds like the doctor screwed up.

That probably turns on "failed to obtain". The state collects and dumps case files onto the contract doctors. Is it the doctor's responsibility to search all sources of records for ones which were omitted and might be pertinent? Do privacy rules even allow this? I assume there is some waiver signed by the applicant to allow the state to request medical records, but is that then granted to the contract doctors?
>Outside a few job categories like tech emigration is quite difficult

This is the flip side of the whole "I'd like to leave the US" movement that is hardly ever talked about. A lot of people who express these desires to leave and gain citizenship elsewhere simply do not have the credentials to do so.
I wanted to leave the US well before Trump. He's not the disease. He's just the most visible symptom.
It's just gotta pass the Turing Test. The doctor in question could be represented by this pseudocode with no nesting:

claimstatus = rejected

randomvalue = GetRandomValue(1,100)

If (randomvalue <= 20), Then claimstatus = approved

return claimstatus

Doesn't even have to read the application. Well, maybe the name or app number just so it can reference it in the official response. That might be another application, though, with this one being the review application.
Completely agree, I had a similar experience. My team found ourselves liking the Qt approach so much that we started using it for headless projects too, including our server (which used protobufs). Qt is so useful.
In a few years the industry will catch up to Tesla and we'll see further price decreases across the board and mass EV adoption using current tech.

Can this catch up be quantified? There must have been a study of how entire industries ramp up infrastructure and develop economies of scale. This has happened in wartime many, many times, and well resourced countries had an interest in how fast these things could happen. (And how they could be prevented.)
None of those are "standard" sedans. Not by a long shot. It's perfectly reasonable to compare an A3 to a Model 3, but it's not reasonable to say that the standard sedan is 4000#, since Civics & similar outnumber Audis & similar by an order of magnitude or so.

The point still remains that an EV is about 8-12% heavier than a sedan in its same class (see sibling comment below). This will apply to semitrucks too as those electrify, which'll be a bigger deal than sedans.
Very true. When I look at C# pretty much all the cool stuff they have added relies on lambdas and closures. Same for JavaScript. It's the one feature that enables a ton of other features.
Yes but I seriously doubt it would have gone anywhere.
Isn’t the CIA, NSA, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Coast Guard (which is not part of the Pentagon), etc. all part of national defense? You can look up the public portion of their budgets online. The VA should be counted too since it’s a cost of national defense.
For this particular business. I don't think he's representative. Using tools like Unity makes it much easier to deploy on Mac and Linux.
Hello, fabrice_d :)

Oh, yes, I do remember of a branch that used to deserve complaints. As you know, that branch doesn't exist anymore :)
I agree that DevOps becoming a job title is a perversion of the term. That applies equally to an operator or a developer calling themselves "DevOps".

As the article mentions, DevOps is a methodology. To quote the author, "The most concise definition of DevOps is that it is applying agile/lean methods from source code all the way to production."
We already have the capability to wipe out humanity with nuclear weapons. Nothing would really change in this respect.
Thank you. This might seem trivial but I was struggling to put my thoughts about this into words for several weeks.
Then what is it?

Jordan Peterson, who for a long time I wrote off as a crackpot until I actually paid attention to some of his interviews and lectures, talks a lot about this. Happiness is a pretty crappy goal to have. It's a side effect of pursuing actual, worthwhile goals. People need to take some responsibility for their own state of mind and the things they are choosing to do that affect it.
Just an observation: By the time we get to $33 an hour the needed amount will again be higher... Very possibly by a relatively larger ratio than 33/15.
> Does anyone really think Apple hasn’t done market research to determine which size phone would be best for them to sell?

Given that around 70% of the iPhones in use are the 4.7" and under sized phones, I would say it is questionable. People like that form factor.
Yes. Look at Roxham Road.

In my case, Bitbucket will lose someone who was just using it as a dumb git storage backend, and did not engage with the Atlassian products at all. I assume that they won't be particularly bothered to see the likes of me drop off.
I'm not OP, but what about the realm outside of rational protien design? DNA base paring rules are pretty well understood and we should be able to build useful tools using them. Is there any work out there using only for computation?
I'd like to see this comparison, but with TypeScript instead of JavaScript. I'm sure it will still be better than Rust, but it seems like the main thing making Rust really awkward here is the memory safety.
The Blot're 2018 Year in Review
Or maybe there’s a fourth option: they’re listening and they know something you don’t. Maybe 1% of people will never buy an iPhone again if it’s not the SE, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth it to keep offering it.
