Yep, the lucky grunts in the weapons squad get to lug around the 7.62 ammo.

The Army doesn't use the M249 as a crew served weapon (unlike the Marines) so the automatic rifleman on each team usually has 600 rounds of 5.56mm linked ammo to carry around.

I'd be curious to see standard ammo load-out by conflict and country.
Likewise, I spent a day building a proof of concept but lost interest after.
The argument being made is that USA is allowing companies and medical practitioners to price gouge, therefore allowing for wages for medical practitioners higher than can be offered locally.

I don't think inflating your own wages to match a system that appears systemically ineffective is the right response, especially when your own system is more effective overall than the one you are losing talent to.

In the USA, medical practioners get paid more and the country might gain talent as a result, but the people pay more for it and it results in it being less accessible and less effective overall.

The government are the ones who came up with this awesome indentured servitude scheme, I doubt they'll be motivated to do more to prevent it.

while I’m sure out of billions of people it’s trivially easy to find a handful of nuts taking almost any position, it’s dishonest to tar everyone else with that brush.

Not just a few out of billions, but throngs of people on social media, including acquaintances and friends of friends all willing to jump down your throat, as if asking questions or any nuance is an immediate sign of deplorability.

The intellectually honest response to being confronted with the reality of just how far off the mark you were

There is some kind of dramatic disconnect here. There was plenty of weird toxicity on the other side which you seem oblivious to. Its volume is quite a bit louder than your voice and your message, and it's very much the message many received.
It's crazy that they began building GitLab without knowing of Bitbucket. Talk about doing some product research before building...
Most of the startups I've come across in Europe usually pay at or near to market rates. Maybe it's just my experience (I've mostly been working as a contractor), but I find this somewhat surprising, given that the social structures here mean that taking a risk by working unpaid/lower pay for a startup isn't such a big issue.
What amazes me if that Vox has a show on Netflix that is supposed to explain things when their organization is notorious for getting basic things wrong. Look, everyone gets something wrong, but they sometimes do so with intent to mislead.

I'd say they are worse than Fox News. Fox News gets a lot wrong, yes, but also everyone knows their entire prime time lineup is opinion...Vox makes no such distinction. If you're pretending to be straight news but you're opinion...that's a big problem to me and worse than misleading commentary that you know is commentary.

I've seen Matt literally copy something straight from MMFA (a liberal news watcher) and Think Progress (a liberal think-tank) and treat it as news...not commentary.
I'm sorry this has taken so long, but we are working on some foundational API's to manage and list images right now: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/55978. I've also added your feedback on sorting, thank you!

We are also setting up a team to focus on just packaging related features within GitLab, like the Registry, which should improve our velocity in this area.
Aha, that's true. I wasn't using hash maps when I did this, but what you write makes sense.
There’s also the option of running a pair of 970s in SLI. That was my solution a couple years ago when it beat the 980Ti in both performance and price.
I share my very real world experience of police in the USA, and I get downvoted for it. I must be posting on Hacker News. (I now consider it a badge of honor to get downvoted. It means those who can't entertain disconfirming thoughts have been offended.)
Needing to copy code around is largely a JS thing IMO. Java has such good standard and third party library support that I don't see what would be that reusable between the front and backend. Except maybe validators, gRPC doesnt support even basic field validation its annoying.
He’s talking about when they were first getting started. Their differentiator was going to be free private repositories, and he was disappointed to find out that someone else did it first.
You can't get out of a parking spot if you don't know how to drive stick. With this, I'm not so sure it's that straight forward. You know how to do all the functions required to drive, but then you get on the interstate, hit 70mph, turn too quickly and lose all ability to control the vehicle when it presents the slightest unexpected input, over correct, and then end up careening into 4 lanes of traffic.
I'm confused about this definition of social network. GitHub is a place where we work. I have thousand of commits and 1 actual friend. Am I the only one or are we changing the meaning of social?
Sorry, it's a stereotype, but in my experience JS is a super common first language devs that know JS and nothing else are less experienced.
Not speaking for the person you asked, but another thing my mother did when I was about the same age was to allow me to touch a hot stovetop when she knew it was still painful-hot, but not serious-burn hot.

I think it was the correct choice. My curiosity was sated, no punishment was involved, and she made the (for me, anyway) right choice of letting me experience the direct consequences of my actions when she knew they wouldn't be too bad.
This is alien to me. Tell me more. Do you trust the software to not have dangerous bugs? Do you drive while text messaging, commenting on Hacker News, or watching video? Are you perfectly fine with your whereabouts and driving style being known and sold, for example to insurance companies or toll collectors or the police? Are you using the features to compensate for any kind of disability? Would you be fine with a car like HAL 9000, saying "I'm sorry muzika, I'm afraid I can't do that" to you?
Their "mid-tier" GPU has a bigger die, and die size directly effects pricing. And the absolute most important point, they have 90+ days of GPU Stocks sitting on shelfs and Channels, that is a whole quarter worth of stocks. They have their RTX Order placed early with TSMC, so they will need to price both approximately to move them.

Just to give some context, having 90 days of Stocks sitting during any Normal Quarter is already bad, having it sitting there Before your next gen product launch is even worst. ( Hence why the Stocks has been hammered )

We will see in their next report if Christmas has helped to Lower those stock pile.
And I just got Gitea working on my ARM mini-server.
With this release, bash now has three built-in variables (um, I mean "parameters") whose values are updated every time they're read:

$RANDOM yields a random integer in the range 0..32767. (This feature was already there.)

$EPOCHSECONDS yields the whole number of seconds since the epoch.

$EPOCHREALTIME yields the number of seconds since the epoch with microsecond precision.

I'm thinking of a new shell feature that would allow the user to define similar variables. For example, I have $today set to the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format, and I have to jump through some minor hoops to keep it up to date.

Does anyone else think this would be useful enough to propose as a new bash feature? Would it create any potential security holes? Should variables like $PATH be exempted?

(Of course this doesn't add any new functionality, since I could use "$(date +%F)" in place of "$today". It's just a bit of syntactic sugar.)
Highly recommend TypeScript. It brings so much method to the madness. Build tools are another clusterfuck but at least with TS you have a decently structured language with "standard" ways of doing things

Almost identical paragraphs in Cassandra and Dynamo white papers
The argv array (and the envp array) are in a page the kernel set up when it created the process, and the kernel holds on a reference to it, and remembers the addres of those arrays in the page. The kernel doesn't need to "watch" that memory, when you read from `/proc/$pid/cmdline` or `/proc/$pid/environ`, procfs literally reads directly from $pid's memory space (remember that the kernel controls the page table, it can look in to the memory space of any process it wants to). The kernel doesn't "know" that the value changed, it just reads the current value from process' memory.
There are tons of things that the biomarker could be subject to, there's no evidence that diet is relevant.
Rule of zero classes are awesome. It forces a separation of concerns too, generally a good thing :), as the handling of special things is done by a class that does that(e.g. unique_ptr, vector...) and your class describes only what is in it and how to interact with it. But no more detailed than that.
There are two known phenomena related to this:

* "Unblinding," where participants are able to figure out whether they're taking the placebo vs. the real medication by noticing whether they experience any side effects.

* The "nocebo" effect, kind of a reverse placebo effect where participants in the control group experience false side effects because they believe they might be in the experimental group taking the real medication.
I wonder how long other industries will let the healthcare companies get away with this.

The first Fortune 500 company to give it's employees free travel to Mexico, Canada, or Cuba for affordable care will cause quite a few waves.

Or a smart country could open up "embassy clinics" throughout America, offering affordable healthcare and taking the profits back home.
I think the stereotype of salespeople being manipulative is unfortunate because sales actually serves an important function of delivering information about the product to the customer. Researching that info on your own is time consuming and the salesperson should be familiar with the product and its competitors. Unfortunately many unscrupulous salespeople use their position to lie and try to close a sale which leads to a less effective marketplace for everyone.
Yes but subjectively, I don't like their designs at all. Especially the screen that curves outward, that has been an endless frustration when I had my S7 Edge a few years ago.
Apple is pretty firm on no GPLv3 because accidentally shipping it on iOS can be pretty dangerous for them. Whether you agree with the decision to just not ship GPLv3 software (I don’t), I can understand apples concerns regarding GPLv3.

Furthermore, it wouldn’t surprise me if iOS had bash support even for just debug builds and Apple either had to worry about testing, building and maintaining two version of bash and still risk getting them mixed up and accidentally shipping some parts of the bash source code. This much easier to just never use GPLV3

Redox reuses a lot of concepts from Plan 9
Next version should detect whether a site is under-construction (# of cones per 100m, GPS-tagged construction zone from publicly available DB, sudden speed change, unexpected traffic etc.) and turn on the soft-mode for lane-assist where it says 'You might be driving through a construction zone, so lane assist will not fight'.
This is what happens when you over regulate hiring practices in the name of inclusion, fairness, and fighting bias. I've seen numerous issues with this in academia as well where someone will be a proven candidate who you know will excel at the job but you can't simply hire them because it's against the rules. You have to spend ages interviewing all of these unproven alternative candidates with focuses on minorities etc. If you reject all the alternative candidates arbitrarily and go with who you wanted in the first place then you risk getting slapped with a lawsuit. So instead we have to go through this huge song and dance where we write these fake job descriptions which as you say are obviously only written for one person, waste everyone's time, and flood the market with fake hiring opportunities. I've been on both sides of this process and it's very aggravating.

Even worse, sometimes orgs will set up basically fake interviews where they bring people in with no intention of hiring them just to put on a show to avoid a lawsuit.
> EDIT: the downvoting on this comment is amusing, given that "avoid pImpls" is exactly the sort of 97% cruft that Knuth was addressing

Again, no, it isn't. You seem to be severely underestimating the systemic impact of cache misses if you are considering them a "small" impact to efficiency.

It's a well-proven, well-known problem. Ignoring it falls under Knuth's guidance of "A good programmer will not be lulled into complacency by such reasoning."

pImpls are the sort of thing you use at API boundaries to avoid leaking implementation details into users, but that's trading efficiency & complexity for a more stable API boundary. Scattering them throughout your code base would be like compiling with -O0. It's a silly, nonsensical waste of a user's constrained resources for a slight gain at compile time at a cost of code complexity.

Or, alternatively, using pImpls to optimize for compile time is a premature optimization. You should only optimize for compile time at most 3% of your source files, ever. The other 97% of your source files should be written for clarity & simplicity, which means no pImpls.
I suspect, from pictures seen on the internet, that the cellular modem antenna can be disconnected if I pop out the center console. This is quite a bit of trouble, with a pretty strong "warranty voided" feel to it. I intend to try it.

The slowest iMac Pro has a max clockspeed of 4.2GHz. The fastest has a max clockspeed of 4.5GHz. The max clockspeed of the A12 is 2.49Ghz. What magic allows Apple to get an almost 200% IPC boost? If that kind of performance improvement is actually possible in the general case, then Apple should exit the consumer market and start selling their chips to everyone. They'd make way more money than they do now.

If something in chip design seems too good to be true, it is.
Its that RAM that is the key, you want enough to keep all the source files and intermediate files sitting in cache, so the only disk activity is updating timestamps and flushing the .O files to disk.

I've seen this problem a few times, someone looks at their N core machine with M GB and says, oh look i'm only using 3/4 of M so when I buy the 4xN cores machine I'm going to put M ram in it again. Then everything runs poorly because the disks are getting hammered now that there are another 32 jobs (or whatever) each consuming a GB. Keep adding ram until their is still free RAM during the build. Its going to run faster from ram that waiting for a super speedy disk to read the next c/.o/etc file.
On Linux, reading /proc/<pid>/cmdline literally asks the kernel to reach into the target process's address space and fish out its argv[0]. This, erm... has some corner cases:

This is not an existential issue vis-a-vis Apple, Google, or even about capitalism.

It's really a CFO's problem, financial engineering.

Companies that sit on massive cash all have this problem.

The difference is not one of culture, it's the fact that Google is still controlled by powerful founders who can act in different way, i.e. 'maintain hard power' through share voting 10x's ... or even via 'soft power' just by being founders.

Apple has more of a regular CEO.

There are a variety of interesting things about this, but it's mostly on the financial side, and won't make a spec of difference in the rest of the company.

Neither Apple nor G will be operationally hindered, M&A and other activities will be just the same.

As founders move away from Alphabet, I bet they take a few fewer moonshots though ...
How is this better than the Google Home/Google Voice integration? Seems significantly more complex, and reliant on the end user having a working home phone line
btw, iPhone X useable 16:9 screen space is about 5.2" so it's definitely more than the usual 4.7" of the iPhone 5S / 6 / 7 / 8.

I don't disagree with your points. I eventually found out that the screen is just too small for my taste. I'll buy the XS Max when I am able; or I might wait for the next generation because I still hope Apple goes USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 finally.
I thought the new MacBook Air had the older butterfly keyboard?
Like many things in a large bureaucracy, the rules and norms are written in the blood and tears of previous generations. It has pros and cons. On the pros, you can usually count on everyone to not lose equipment. For the cons, you spend a huge amount of time dealing with inventories and maintenance.

- At most Army schools you will fail if you lose any equipment. Ranger school does a 100% equipment check at the end of every mission and will fail you if any equipment is missing.

- One of the more common ways for an officer to get "fired" (moved out of command early with a neutral or negative rating) is to lose property. This is harder than it sounds since even a Rifle company commander you might have a few million dollars of equipment. For mechanized units (tanks), it's much harder.
> A lot of German primary care doctors don't even hire office staff. They prescribe whatever they want, swipe your medical card, and they're guaranteed to be paid in a week, no questions asked.

Any sort of change towards this in the United States (and I agree, it's a good one) will be spun as losing jobs and crushing the economy, which is a very hard argument to defeat.
Yeah just use homebrew and forget about it
I’ve also had good luck in the oven. Line the rack with proper fire bricks and set the oven to 500 F - and convection if you have it. Place the pizza directly on the brick using a pizza paddle.

I’d say it’s as good as the 1000 degree pizza places,
> It is not always possible to just throw more hardware at the problem of compilation. For instance, one may be using a build pipeline that requires specific steps to be followed as part of gating tasks. The time it takes to compile code over and over again for unit testing, behavioral testing, acceptance testing, integration testing, etc., each impacts delivery time and handoff.

All of that is solved by throwing more hardware at it.

Alternatively if compile time is not the slow part of that pipeline, then you're prematurely optimizing the wrong thing anyway.

> Earlier in my career, I worked with a code base that was approximately 10 million lines of code in size. Compiling this code base would take approximately 7 hours on the best hardware we could buy. The C++ developers were adamant about ensuring that their headers were "complete" as they called it. With a few changes, such as forward declarations, abstract interfaces, and encapsulation, my team was able to reduce that compile time to less than 35 minutes.

In other words you only optimized the critical 3% of the codebase rather than prematurely optimizing everything with pImpl abstractions?
I moved from London to NYC.

I don't get fast - seeing a doctor immediately isn't easy, and I still have to wait in the reception. If I need immediate care, it's either $900 for ER, or a few hours wait... basically the same as UK NHS expectation.
I don't get cheap - the premiums aren't cheap, and it's company sponsored.
I can't say that it's much better care - they're only there for the damn ZocDoc review of a bedside manner.

I mean... I had a tapeworm scare and my doctor was literally reading medical encyclopedia in front of me.
GitLab is awesome. There are a lot of features I use like the built in time tracking. Also, I'm not very interested in using GitHub since it was acquired by Microsoft since they have a littered history of abuse and vendor lock-in. I'm not sure how they will try to retrofit EEE onto Git, but I won't be surprised when they somehow do.
Not really comparable.

It's immediately obvious to someone who can't drive a manual that they need to switch to a vehicle with an automatic transmission.

Someone who learned on or became accustomed to a vehicle that transparently corrects all of their mistakes could easily end up in way over their head before realizing that the car they're driving doesn't make up for their lack of basic lane keeping skills / etc.
... And the result is clogging the gateways for doing one’s own research. Sales and advertising have nothing to offer. Customers would literally be better off without them, and so would art and entertainment!

You also seem to assume bringing another cook into the kitchen is going to make things better, as long as they have good faith.

Both of my parents were in sales. I truly believe they were the types you speak of. Their jobs were not easy, competing with dishonesty, but they did well in the right environments. Their careers were based building trust in the long term. This can never work in an aggressively corporate world as we have created today.
It should also be noted that this arrangement in Canada is not typical of other countries with universal healthcare. There's more than one way to skin this particular cat; Canada just gets unduly much attention in the debate because of its proximity, and the "Canadians waiting in endless lines come to US for treatment" conservative meme.

On the other hand, one thing that is usually ignored about Canadian healthcare when it's discussed in US, is the fact that it's run by provinces. Feds are involved, and most federal money that goes to healthcare comes with strings attached wrt how the resulting healthcare system should look; but ultimately the decision of how (and whether) to run healthcare is down to provinces.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Health_Act#History:_Fed...

Furthermore, that system didn't come up all at once - a single province tried it first, and it had proven popular enough that other provinces gradually adopted it. Once it was sufficiently widespread, the federal government stepped in.

Given that federalism in US is more developed than in Canada, I don't understand why this isn't the approach advocated by most adherents here. If Saskatchewan could organize healthcare all by itself back in the day, surely so can California, New York etc.
