> But in a game, which needs to be fun

An assumption. Like RL, a game cannot be fun 100% of the time. MMOs are the Metaverse simulation Neal Stephenson wrote about in Snow Crash.
Being well-rested pretty much all the time (no commute, no two-hour pre-work morning routine), having a much bigger talent pool, not having to pay for a physical office, and eliminating office-related distractions (open offices suck) all make remote work pretty much a win-win for employees and employers. My company is in the middle of the transition, and the dividends are paying off already.
Agile vs. DevOps: What’s the difference?
> start destroying their liveable world...

This seems largely unlikely. From what I’ve gleaned extremophiles are, probably by their very nature, the least likely for us to extinct.

Having said that, we do seem to be having a decent go at messing things up for more complex life, and it’s hard to know the downstream / long term consequences.
Creating a Staging Site for WordPress
I'm baffled that in comments people in all seriousness say things like "a great opportunity for a company to invest serious time and money into creating a better-centralized database" and "a great opportunity for startups who does price/cost aggregation and comparison".

Are you serious?!

It's not even like trying to cure the symptoms of a disease. It's like trying to treat a symptom of a symptom with essential oils.
I feel like that's only problem for people with no social circle outside the world who spend their whole days at the office.

Ask HN: Is GDPR the end of side projects?
I am reading GRPR.eu because I have a side project that is ready to launch. The site is daunting and the penalties are high. Even though there are some templates to put on the website, the general gist of it is that you need to have specifically appointed and trained Data Officers (you) that take care of them, you need to put 2FA everywhere.

Another example is "The existence of an automated decision-making system, including profiling, and information about how this system has been set up, the significance, and the consequences".

As the fines are not tiered with the number of users or how big the company is, small side projects that could potentially (doesn't matter if the probability is small) face millions of euros of fines are not worth the risk any more of making experiments.
The thread hypothesis is that regardless of the marketing, work in weapons-oriented research will create weapons. Does Lincoln undertake such research? Could it do so? You introduced LL into the conversation, presumably because you wouldn't be shocked to see weapons come from there too. I don't know much about LL, but I wouldn't be shocked either. I do believe you when you tell me that some people working there would be shocked.
You don’t need to, most of the time.

For example, push notifications are handled by one system process, and will only open the relevant app when the user clicks it.

I don't see it that way. It may seem like this today, or tomorrow, but half a year from now you'll be thankful for any piece of documentation (!= Slack messages) that you can get when revisiting old tasks and trying to piece out reasons for them.

I must be an assembly programmer, because my immediate reaction to this was: WHY ARE THEY WRITING TO MEMORY ALL THE TIME! The code just looks uncomfortable. Like a word-by-word translation from a foreign language. Like forth written by someone who tried to keep the stack empty and all the data in variables.
Prop C baby! Although definitely not “trivial” to pass or implement. Took Marc Benioff to pour in millions and own Jack Dorsey on his own website which was awesome. And a lot of grassroots activism too.

That targeted homelessness, the most urgent issue, and did so by taxing (tech) companies as opposed to wealthy individuals. More generally the approach the city uses is to negotiate with developers for affordable units as a condition of project approval. Taxing the wealthy is an interesting idea but very far from trivial.
Serious question, I know, I know, everyone is sick of the word .. I'll not use it! .. but:

Can the UK continue to use the French territorial launch sites as easily as they do now?

And finally, from the article, "23 of its 38 currently operational spacecraft as having British input". I wonder are they referring the to Isle of Man here? Which has plenty of satellite companies due to, from what I understand, a very favourable tax regime for space companies.
Social Media Marketing Agency – Better Brand Authority with the Help
Baselang.com for languages other than Spanish.

Baselang has an amazing business model. They offer one on one Spanish tuition, up to four hours a day for a subscription fee of $149 or $199 per month depending on the package you want to buy. They use a video conferencing software, Zoom, and they have the best guide to learning Spanish on the internet, as content marketing. All the Spanish teachers are professional teachers with good English who follow their well designed on house curriculum.

I think their major innovation is in the subscription. If you get one hour of lessons a day that’s good value. At four hours a day it’s anazing value, you’ll be fluent in Spanish in three months. But I doubt most subscribers even use five hours a week. It’s the gym model. The people who swear next month is going to be different, they’ll actually use the service, subsidise the small number of heavy users and are where all the profits are made.

For no reason I can understand they don’t plan to teach any other languages. If you can find a decent curriculum and buy the rights to it, hire some good teachers and set up zoom you can do this for Portugese, French, Russian, Arabic or Chinese. Italki.com is an inferior model.
> I thanked him for his opportunity and advised him to contact some sweatshops instead of playing the "remote" game.

He's right, you are wrong. Bay Area salaries are high because it's very expensive to live there. Even dev salaries in Europe are 20-30% of what they can be in the BA.

I've checked out the price lists from the hospitals in my area. They are useless. It's clearly a case of malicious compliance, and it seems to have been done universally and consistently across different markets, suggesting a criminal conspiracy to evade the law.

Hospitals are already dangerous to go to since either the hospital is not covered by any given insurance plan, or the doctors at the hospital are not covered. It's pretty much impossible to get taken to a hospital that actually accepts your insurance and be treated by doctors who also accept your insurance. This has been bifurcated so precisely that it also indicates an intentional and designed conspiracy.
Because the followers of Apple (the big Android brands) copy Apple's innovations such as the notch, the display to body ratio, the removal of 3.5mm jack, price, capacitive touch, and what have you it is justified that even those who'd never use an iOS device criticize Apple's innovations. Because chances are they will find their way into the Android ecosystem.

I totally agree. I was curious how much typing overhead there is in the swift version so ported that blog post's code into nodejs. In node, the whole thing comes in under 30 lines with comments. (Compared with 86 lines in the final version from that blog post).

The reality is you always have to do more work to interact with JSON data from a static language because you need to tell the compiler what type everything will be. The benefit you get from doing that can pay off in larger projects, but for quick and dirty scripts its a lot of wasted effort.
Timezones are a drawback for quick slack style discussion but can be a plus sometimes when work on a project can be done by both sides of the team. You can work while they sleep and they take the relay when it's their "shift", and it can increase throughtput.

Could you outline what the code you wrote did?
That doesn't save the battery though.
Nice write-up, and interesting idea.

But how did you guys deal with the situation where FCM delivers and displays a notification without waking your app up. In that case, if the user dismisses the notification without opening it, then it will count as delivered by FCM, but not as delivered by your app, right? Which isn’t actually the case.
This is the Android multitasking lead finally coming fully circle. Android had multi tasking much earlier and in a more powerful way by allowing apps to start their own serivices and do pretty much whatever they wanted, but this is the unfortunate logical result - apps that agressively kill other apps, installed by the handset manufacturers, to protect users from badly written apps that drain the battery in the services.

Apple took a lot of flak for not having multitasking, but to they credit they took the time to build explicit APIs that allowed apps to handoff certain whitelisted tasks (audio playback, downloads, alarms, notifications) to the OS, and made clear guarantees about the circumstances under which the APIs would work.

I've played with LoRaWAN and I think that it has one major problem. Limited ack frames. In such case you can not be 100% sure about your data.
Symphony link claims that they have every frame acked, and firmware uploads, but I didn't test it.
LoRaWAN could work with custom channels (private freq), not limited to 1% of air time.

Hey, the replies here about CopperheadOS are pretty good for info on this.

It's a tradeoff - new phones are more secure, but they're also secured against you, e.g. if I OEM unlock my Galaxy Note 9, a bit is set permemnantly that could be used to determine whether the phone gets a warranty repair.

To get back on track, you may want to have a look to see if the "board support package" is still supported. You're well out of vendor support and it looks like the last commit to https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210... was 2013.

The gold standard would be a phone that runs a very-close or actually mainline Linux kernel, but I don't think we're there yet.

Nexus devices were fantastic, but they're gone now. Pixel, I guess, but I was scared off after the 5X and 6P hardware issues.

I use bash, but I like the zsh feature where you could type "cd -n" and go back n entires in your "directory stack", so I made my own version as a function. It's probably subtly broken in some way, since it's bash, but it works relatively well for me:

cd() {
# Set the current directory to the 0th history item
cd_history[0]=$PWD
if [[ $1 == -h ]]; then
for i in ${!cd_history[@]}; do
echo $i: "${cd_history[$i]}"
done
return
elif [[ $1 =~ ^-[0-9]+ ]]; then
builtin cd "${cd_history[${1//-}]}" || # Remove the argument's dash
return
else
builtin cd "$@" || return # Bail if cd fails
fi
# cd_history = ["", $OLDPWD, cd_history[1:]]
cd_history=("" "$OLDPWD" "${cd_history[@]:1:${#cd_history[@]}}")
}

Other than that, I doubt there's much that would be generally useful to anyone.
It is already happening. In Poland the salaries among developers are getting closer and closer to salaries in Germany or UK. The reasons are that developers can find a job for foreign companies (therefore local companies need to increase salaries in order to compete), but also that local companies get more foreign customers, therefore they can quote higher prices and offer higher salaries.

Because the Z80 doesn't really have a whole lot of registers that you could use for general storage. Even the 6502 (and the 6809) would try to keep the cycle count down by storing stuff in the zero page (or direct page on the '09).

Z80 assembly tends to be very easy to read because you don't have to keep a mental map of what lives in which register, A really is the accumulator and the only register that you can use to do anything more complex than inc or dec to.

Contrast

https://www.masswerk.at/6502/6502_instruction_set.html

with

http://clrhome.org/table/

And see how much more effective the 6502 set is when it comes to empowering the various registers. The 6502 does not need 'shift' codes (slow) either.

I've programmed both, and even though they both have their charm I would prefer to code the 6502 for the same problem (and I'd much prefer to use the 6809 over either).

True. Another thing to consider is that regardless of the health effects, sun exposure ages your skin; sometimes dramatically so.

A compromise would be to use sunscreen on your face and neck (since they don't produce that much vitamin D anyway, if I'm remembering a study correctly), but leave the rest of your body uncovered. Perhaps add sunscreen to your hands too.

We all know wages aren't dependant on education, otherwise teachers and scientists would be rich. But they're not. Also, most of the waiters I know have at least one university degree. Many have multiple, or a graduate degree.

Not to mention, good waiters know about food, wine, spirits and have the soft skills required to put up with people who frequent restaurants.

Anyhow, barrier to entry is a bad excuse. Education does not equal a good living.
No idea about the Z80, but in uni we had to write assembler for a C167 which was a fun architecture and registers basically didn't exist. They were just mappings to memory in a given location. Granted, a few things only worked on registers and not on memory directly. I think something like addressing individual bits, but just reading and writing a value was effectively the same on memory and on a register name.

I had no qualms at all to use memory as variables when convenient. I didn't have to use the stack at all in all the assignments as 16 registers and a handful DB sprinkled through the code for more locations to write to were enough – the disassembler in the debugger didn't like code interspersed with data, though.

What we observed was that in cases of devices like xiaomi and oneplus, the app goes into a state of being force killed. So even if the notification sent is one without a data payload ( in which case the app is not woken up ) , the notification will not be displayed to the user.
To get around this issue we sent all messages with a data payload to ensure that the app is woken up(or atleast the system tries to wake it up).
What can I say, Jack London was my hero and "mentor" for years. Reading "Martin Eden" put me on a right track. After reading "Martin Eden" I wanted to become a writer and self-learned man, so I read books, wrote essays and short-stories. Thanks to that I managed to graduate high school with good enough grades and continue my studies in the University. I idolized him, although he was a man of contradictions. Jack London got me through my teens, anarchist thinkers got me through my twenties. Still looking for ideas that will guide me through my thirties. But anyway, thank you, Jack London.

I think the reasoning behind the nameing convention is that tensors in DL are just an abstraction of multi-dimensional arrays and that the operations you do on multiple arrays such as sum or multiply are algebraic tensor operations due to their multi linearity.

It could also be dated to earlier work on computer vision where tensors were used to store a bunch of spatial coordinates so it might be that back then it was even more aligned with their mathematical definition.

That said the grief doesn’t seem to be with the naming convention but rather with how tensor classes are designed in common DL frameworks.

I worked on an AS/400 system 4 years ago during an high school internship in Italy. It's still used in a medium-size company. It was painful at first but since my first language was Pascal the difference was bearable. Sure it helped me with my formation as a young developer.
Anyway, it was fast and sure AS/400 still can be competitive but in a business pov it is a mess: there are almost no developers with an adequate formation and the old developers are close to retirement.

I agree with you, but I dont think the schema makes for "good story telling". It more that we defined we defined "good storyleling" in a way that limits options and forcing us to be repetitive. It makes for predictable story telling we are used to.
