can you point to some continuous rotation servos that would replace steppers? I haven't been able to find any that are affordable.
Perhaps the answer is as simple as an extension for you to work in, which is set up as an airlock-style system of doors, so that you are not really disturbable by your wife. I mean simply three or more doors in a row, with a little gap between each. A den, if you prefer. Or an inner sanctum. It is at least worth a good try.
You're not wrong but I think that misses my point.

The rail offers great coverage way into the western parts where the grid breaks down.

To avoid us talking past each other, recognize that to me the whole "Grid with shopping centers on every arterial intersection" seems like the most horrific implementation of corporate "pleasantville" I could imagine. Echoing what I said before, what I found beneficial about Philly is being able to traverse so many different areas and vibes with only public transit.

I bring this up exclusively to advocate for rail, because it often seems to be subsumed under the "build better/more roads." (Which, again, I broadly support, but the positive impact accessible rail had to my life cannot be understated)
I might be a dreadful old fogey, but I think that everyone should learn manual machining before getting into CAD/CAM. There's a level of mechanical sympathy that can only be learned by turning the handwheels and making chips. CAM is complex because machining is complex - removing the software from the equation makes it far easier to learn the fundamental principles, IMO.
As X succeed in Europe, India, and Israel, then it's natural it should success in China.

Sorry, my fault, I thought recognizing the diversity of things is "obvious" in HN.
How's the migration path? I use TypeScript for new React apps I build, but I'm dealing with some JS projects where there's just no way to convert everything to TS all at once.

Does TS work well alongside legacy JS so you can update individual files incrementally as you go along? I remember trying it once and facing some unexpected blockers, but I don't remember what they were.
The IRS requires that local banks take the personal data of US citizens simply because it does not trust Americans to cooperate willingly. And I think that's a fair assessment, because no one would willingly pay taxes to two countries at once.
How in the world did you manage to do this? Did you actually self-study, or were you placed in a gifted program?

I read quite a bit on my own, I took some courses at UCLA through a high school scholars program (including the undergraduate honors seminar). The entirety of the undergraduate program might be a slight exaggeration but I was ready for graduate level courses when I got to Berkeley.

I think going through the material requires determination, not necessarily being extremely gifted. But then, it seems like people at someone's gone through a bunch material say by that fact they're gifted. Thus having done this, one is tautologically gifted.

I've never tested at the extremely gifted level but I'm doubtful of single-measures of intelligence regardless.

Edit:

I don't think your anecdote is a great comparison for the OP's expectations (or for calibrating advice they'd benefit from).

Neither of us know the OP. It's kind of up to them to calibrate what process works for them. Scanning a lot of math until I found good, clear explanations worked well for me.
> The Flow daemon executable was just to provide type checking.

This is problematic. Now your webpack build is shelling out asynchronously to a second process. It makes it very hard to integrate type checking to a build system.
Sounds like it behaves a bit like a 1x participating preferred but without any special voting rights. (Presumably they vote their shares alongside the common voting shares?)

I think it strikes a good balance between founder-friendly and investor-friendly.
Similarly: industrial turkeys of the type that Americans buy for Thanksgiving are so heavy and their breasts are so large that they're physically no longer able to reproduce. (They use artificial insemination now.)

Stop posting Anti-Trump "news" and only post articles that hackers want to read not what social justice warriors read.
As a hacker I know how the world really works. I assure you it is not some fantasy social justice paradise. How about instead of opposing Trump, oppose the endless wars. Now that would be a worthy thing.
This already is happening with several autonomous vehicle companies.

Ask HN: How do Toronto tech salaries compare to NYC/SV?
Considering taking a salaried job for the first time in my life. Not sure why exactly to be perfectly honest.

Anyways, I live in the GTA, and I'm just looking for a general idea about the salary gap between Toronto and the real tech hubs in North America being Silicon Valley and NYC imho.

What kind of a pay cut would somebody working for big tech in one of those areas be looking at if they moved to Toronto?

Thanks.

At big companies this is hard to scale because you have to protect against nepotism at the top layer. This forces policies protecting against the bad outcome.

At small companies this does happen.
It's not "a case", it's "arbitration". Arbitration is extremely... arbitrary.
gotta disagree. I don't know anybody who works in a machine shop and doesn't want sawstop enabled, unless they need to disable it for a specific cut (wet wood).
Different kind of "Indian".

Indian tribes = Native American / First Nations tribe in US/Canada. Derived from misunderstanding by the stupidest explorer that ever lived, Christopher Columbus.

Indian = from India, a country in Asia. An Indian state in the country of India is the topic of this article.
> The most difficult part for a person who hasn't done a lot of math to become a person who does a lot of math is to read and understand rigorous proofs.

I’m afraid you haven’t delved into any advanced topics. That’s actually about the easiest part, and could be mastered by ten year olds (certainly myself when I was ten).
Eh, that's borderline conspiratory. I work at one of those companies and know for a fact that many coworkers have kids and sometimes have to leave early or get in late due to kids' doctor appointments and whatnot.

Besides, in addition for it being illegal to discriminate candidates based on marital status, in my experience nobody that does interviews ever thinks of considering that as a hiring criteria.
>That's an argument against anything social-network-like in general, because there's nothing that makes FB uniquely suitable.

Are there services that you can pay extra that will do a full DNA sequence and have access to 23andMe's comparison data?

>>Their story is very similar to this gentleman's: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/dairy-farming-is-dyin....

If I understood correctly the (last) parts of the article mentioning "organic" (here in Switzerland we call it "Bio"), you miss something like this...

The livestock must be adapted to the agricultural area, location and climatic conditions. Livestock may not exceed 2.5 DGVE per hectare of utilized agricultural area in the valley area. At higher altitudes and in unfavorable site conditions, animal stocking must be reduced.

...in your rules/legislation, or am I wrong?

(that's an extract from the BioSwiss regulation https://www.bio-suisse.ch/media/VundH/Regelwerk/2019/DE/rl_2... , at the end of chapter 4.1)

EDIT:

and additionally (chapter 4.2):

Basically, the feeding of the animals takes place with in-house bud food. Conversion feed from own
Production may be used up to a maximum of 60 percent of the ration (conversion farms: up to 100 percent).
Supplied feeds serve only to supplement the company's own feed basis and are as possible organically grown.
Young mammals must be nourished on the basis of unaltered milk, preferably breastmilk
become. All mammals are to be fed with unchanged milk for a minimum period. The
Minimum period depends on the species. The feed components must be left natural and the techniques of feed preparation used should be as much as possible
be close to nature and energy-saving. Feed must not contain traces of genetically modified organisms or derived products of genetically modified organisms that are proportionately above the statutory limits.
If you believe that, why do you believe a percentage tax is reasonable in the first place? Shouldn't it be an absolute flat number of dollars taken from each citizen (or, perhaps, a percentage with an absolute cap), recognizing that regardless of how many dollars you generate, the services you're obtaining from the government don't scale with that revenue?
>For example, I saw someone mention that .gov and other websites might actually expire in DNS during this time and we might be able to grab them - redirecting them to sites critical to the administration.

You're going to have a tough time registering a .gov domain as a non governmental agency... especially when the entire US government is shut down.
>Facebook, which seems to be building a fundamentally destructive product while going out of its way to behave unethically

You could say the same thing about google, who are better at invading people’s privacy, and controlling the information they consume. The rest of them could also be seen as ethically objectionable in one way or another.

If you’re considering the sophistication of their engineering, and the benefits and remuneration you receive, then they’re very comparable. If you’re evaluating them ethically, then which ones are better will come down entirely to what you value as an individual, because each of them could receive some perfectly valid criticisms.
I mean it literally just means 'relationship.' It's just that networking is even more important in China where there are so many people competing for resources, where the bureaucracy and the systems are more corrupt, and where the culture values things like familial bonds and reciprocity more. It's part of survival there.

It's a concept everywhere, it's just that it's not nearly as necessary in much of the West. You can get by just fine. The distinction, imo, is that the "old boys network" is networking strictly among the rich and powerful.
yeah, thats exactly what I imagined
It's strange to me that they mentioned Oracle vs Google in the introduction but not the body of the article.

It seems like in a lot of the cases involving new tech take a couple years to get started and then ~5 years to resolve. So we got a ruling about the phone searchers 7 years after the iPhone, a ruling about streaming 6 years after the launch of Napster, and a ruling about "decency" 8 years after the launch of the web.

I wonder what the big issues over the next 10 years will be. Self driving cars? It's a bit tedious to have every prediction about the future reduce to that.
I have to repeat the points in this comment. I've worked extensively with low-cost CNCs, and they can't really do anything more than light engraving of aluminum and slow cutting of wood. There are some straightforward physical reasons for this (there is no cheap and fast replacement for mass and torque).
Go has support for dynamic linking for a while now, and ongoing plugin support on some OSes currently.
> Some people just have a cig burning almost all of the time, but might actually only take 2 or 3 draws off of it and the rest just sits there burning.

That describes pretty well how I smoke the ecig: all day long, maybe three puffs every few minutes. While the normal cigs (maybe four a day) I inhale greedily at high speed.
Oh god, why is everyone here so pedantic.

"Monopoly" in this sense is meant to indicate that one is put in a bad negotiating position because the power/options are consolidated into few hands that can demand bargains that are beneficial to their side thus, in this case, disadvantaging Costco.

Every time you use the word "monopoly" it doesn't have to have an exact 1:1 relationship with a law 101 textbook definition.
He started out with among others, std::vector. That has tradeoffs, in that the standard specifies requirements that he may or may not need.

My point stands. The performance trade-offs you're paying for with various C++ features are extremely well understood, and better documented for C++ than most languages.

That doesn't mean there aren't surprises here and there, and obviously there are compiler difference, but the point was that the language is designed so that these tradeoffs are known and documented and for the most part comes as a surprise to people mostly when they don't know the language very well.

It is not a surprise that you can improve on things like std::vector by rolling your own that does exactly what you want; for starters if you know your requirements chances are you can speed up initialization, because you don't need to abide by standard semantics. For starters, if you know you're going to assign a fixed number of elements, you don't need to track size and capacity, and you can often avoid the need for bounds checking.

As for compilation time, that too is very much a matter of paying for what you're using. You can choose to disable debug info, you can choose to not include headers that are bound to result in lots of time spent on parsing templates.

That he's not using many advanced features is irrelevant; his starting point very much had made trade-offs in using functionality that comes with known costs.
I actually started from the very beginning of mathematics on Khan Academy, thats starting from pre-school going through every video and exercise, taking the quizzes and each end test for each subject. I am currently almost done with Algebra 1 and has taken longer than expected. I highly recommend! The exercises are key and do everyone until you get 100% then move on to the next topic/subject.
Which machines are you referring to?

How aware? Do they have any vision? Can they "see" or otherwise "know" about the cutters / workholding?
Unfortunately the code that I have to read / review is stored across multiple repos and many many lines. I'm too used to using VS Code to look up functions and jump to relevant declarations. While I can appreciate the aesthetic of going over my code with pen and pencil, it would largely slow my (and probably others) down quite a bit.
Yeah, that probably has to do with the population decline.

But as for the rating, North Dakota is at #8, so I don't think cold weather is hurting that.
Not to mention workholding, etc. that might be off.
There's a very simple way to determine who is responsible for the shutdown: look at who is passing the bills to fund everyday workings of the government, and who is refusing to advance them without their riders.

You have a great point.

It is highly likely that many topics are astroturfed on many websites, but I would think HN is too small and too specific of a target to be of any interest to pharmaceutical companies.

However, if they use a subcontractor, it could certainly "cover" HN among its astroturfing portfolio, especially if it frequently does jobs for tech companies. Some stories I read in the new section when I'm taking a break have very suspicious rises, compared to identical stories of about the same technical topic.

Also, it feels funny to see the same story again the next day, as if it was "tried" but with different parameters until it catches up.

Without further evidence, it is just suspicious. I hope that YC has a commercial interest in keeping the site clean from astroturfing.
What skywriting uses encryption? How is that a useful metaphor for describing the downsides of "cloud storage"?
If you want my opinion, these companies aren't looking for awesome talent. They're looking for people who will put up with their schedules, demands, management. They don't want creative thinkers with experience in multiple fields. They're looking for one-trick ponies that will do what their told and will be happy to get stabled by 40.

You're better off following your own path and making your own things happen.
Furthermore, for Eric Schmidt (of all people) to be taken seriously when he says this kind of thing, he should publish all of his personal data too.
I really like the idea of tests as materialized debugging sessions.
Not in math. Unless you are a mathematician, I challenge you to pick a math equivalent of "I want to create a website where people can buy and sell yarn." I’ll wait.

People just assume learning math is the same as learning everything else. That is not even remotely true.

How OpenBSD is secure compared to other operating systems?
Not really sure what the point of your comment is? Are you asking the NH community to feel sorry for you? You made some life choices about what's important to you and that's great. The OP made their life choices and decided to study and work their way into on those companies.

Besides that, I work with plenty of people who are married with kids. Sure, at the end of the day, there's some amount of luck, but they didn't get in because someone felt sorry for them.
China is a huge country. The differences between a 1st tier city and a 3rd tier city are huge, and there are many kids 3rd tier cities than 1st. Also keep in mind that until recently, most transactions were cash, no checks and even bank transfers were hard. That means I used to have to bag around 20k RMB/3 months to pay rent, not fun since the biggest bill was the 100 kuai note (it got better later). Those famous shanghai man purses weren’t just for show (what if you had to buy a car)! The current mobile payment system is a huge improvement, but many people still have to use cash, especially the poorer and underbanked.

Anyways, think about how much cash you use in the states? I think I last withdrew cash 6 months ago? And I haven’t used all of that yet, since there is maybe one Asian bakery I know of that charges for using a CC. The USA was already way ahead of the game on non-cash payments (via checks and then cards) and that has only accelerated since (not as fast as china’s move to mobile payments, but starting from a much higher level). So ues, even if they aren’t using cash in big Chinese cities, they aren’t using it in USA cities either.

Since as a foreigner I was never able to use wechat pay myself (the rules kept changing, but when I tried early on they couldn’t do anything without my Chinese ID number), I used to have to use UnionPay and cash for all of my financial transactions. So that was the end of 2016 when I left, more than a couple of years, so I’m a bit out of date. When I moved back the states, I became cashless again (having been cashless before moving to China in Europe and the USA).
That is awesome! Thanks for posting!
Linux network-scripts being deprecated
It's very seamless. There's a flag, allowJs, that lets you import js files with only sanity checks (no actual typechecking). You can then start converting individual files to Typescript as you go.
Of course death is sad, but we are all going to die one day. The people who died and were recognized made a meaningful impact on the world.
Well 23andme was specifically reprimanded by the FDA for their health related information and blocked from publishing future health advice, until they got limited approval after finally complying with regulation. So it’s inaccurate to say that there is no oversight, although I agree that the current oversight is clearly insufficient, in addition to being post-hoc.
What if you had to choose between someone with a proven track record of building high quality software used by millions of people who has also shown they're capable of leading groups of people in successful projects but hasn't memorized the specific algorithm you asked about and another candidate who doesn't have as good of a track record but can totally nail that easy algorithm you asked for?

I've never connected Flow to webpack or my compile process like that. When I've used Flow or TypeScript with Babel, the build process and type checking were always two separate things. I treated type checking like unit tests: something I'd frequently re-check while working on code, but not something connected to the path of getting code running somewhere.
The reality is that having a great mentor is a privilege, not a given. I don't think anyone is arguing that having a genius and brilliant teacher wouldn't help, rather that it is possible to reach an "advanced" (grad/undergrad level) understanding of mathematics without the luxury of having someone who is far more knowledgeable to turn to for help.

I'm generally pretty conservative, but I wouldn't mind higher rates on the very top earners. (Say 500k and above. When you get to the 1M tier, put taxes into the 90s.)

But there's a catch: I'd also like decreased spending, at least until the Golden Fleece Awards stop finding easy targets. It would be nonsense to raise taxes on anyone unless the money is put to good use.

Yes, it's an excellent mild antidepressant. I use it seasonally for SAD and it works wonders. I had no problem quitting last spring and I expect the same will be true this spring - on days this past month when it was above 55F I forgot to even pick up my vape until the next day. If I didn't have this I'd be on bupropion, which is supposed to be really hard to cycle off of and has some terrible side effects.
Am I missing something? That seems to be equivalent to "the innocent have nothing to fear" in assuming that no one is ever persecuted who doesn't deserve it.
