I spoke of both vaginas and lungs. Your assumption that I think vaginas produce phlegm when I provided two words -- phlegm and pus -- is the only error here. I have never thought vaginas produce phlegm and I don't understand why you think I do since I don't think that's a logical interpretation of anything I said.
He missed the main verb.
Research is a grind when it's not about writing grant proposals and then it's a different grind.
Realistically even a dictionary attack for a login service should have some sort of flag after repeated incorrect passwords or at least be rate limited to some degree. It would really only be bad if they gained access to your hashed passwords database table because then the dictionary attack would immediately hit for some weak passwords. I argue that access to the hashes shouldn’t be allowed in the first place.
If you don’t understand how something that is a net benefit to the economy improves the lives of everyone who is a part of that economy then I’m not sure I can help you.
> Do software engineers have engineering degrees?

We do, on countries where only universities acknowledged by the Engineering Order are allowed to give such degrees, and one cannot sign project contracts under that title if he/she hasn't become a member after graduation.

> Because TAI is not based on the Earth’s rotation, it’s not ever-so-slowly changing. It’s the measure of time against which UTC’s watch is occasionally correct. That correction is called a leap second: a 61st second that is sometimes added to particular minutes in UTC, like the very last minute of December 31, 2016. As of January 2019 there have been 27 such leap seconds inserted.

This seems backwards. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what the author is trying to say, and another poster could help clarify?

If UTC is based on the earth's rotation and TAI is based on cesium-atomic timekeeping, and UTC is slowing down, and TAI is "the measure of time against which UTC's watch is occasionally corrected," then how can UTC have leap seconds? Delaying for an additional second on December 31st would only make it one second even slower, exacerbating the problem.

I don't see how adding a delay to the slower clock is going to put it in sync with the faster one.

Is it instead that UTC is TAI, plus leap seconds to slow it down to keep it in sync with the rotation of the Earth?

So, why don't you just use Windows or Mac laptop? You'd have all the same advantages without hardware/firmware problems.
I'd expect that in academia for the most part. But this is a consumer product, so they aren't going to follow technical fields, and my hunch is that's for marketing reasons (it looks more authentic).

But even then, rounding to the error rate is a standard practice, but it certainly does mean it's wrong or even unethical, it's just pointless not to. Unless of course your motivation is driven by marketing/sales.
No offense but there's a lot wrong with this comment...

While having a github presence can help recruiters find you, you aren't required to have such presence at all; the vast majority of people I interview don't (and the same goes for coworkers).

Measuring lines of code written is another fallacy that gets thrown around easily, but that any engineer worth their salt knows is a stupid metric (1MLOC of shit code is a pile of shit). One only needs to look at their most recent perf evaluation to realize that absolute code output doesn't actually factor in - it's high level impact perception that does, if anything.

Being single doesn't in any way correlate to more dedication; plenty of singles clock 9-5 and spend free time on non-coding activities (games, TV, exercise, etc), and plenty of family people work late by choice. It's not even an either-or proposition either: there are married people w/ no kids, single people that need to pick up their dogs at daycare, people that work so late so often that they become unproductive due to fatigue, etc.

The idea that someone will take your name and go dig up all your personal info and discriminate you and cackle maniacally is just flat out absurd. As someone who's been both an outsider and an insider to bay area tech, I honestly don't see evidence of discrimination, deliberate or otherwise. I feel like the occam's razor in this discussion is that armchair speculators seal themselves in an echo chamber of delusional conspiracy theory out of self pity or to feel smug. I also noticed that there are people who have had asshat bosses/coworkers at companies w/ dysfunctional cultures and think that experience translates to there being asshats everywhere.
Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be at least an order of magnitude less than what Facebook truly deserves. And very likely only a tiny fraction of this year's profits for Facebook.

The US needs something more akin to the death capital for companies. Or at least imprisonment for executives that willfully make decisions that break laws (I assume FB did break a law here, otherwise there wouldn't be a "record fine" to talk about).
The article made it sound like the complaint was about the use of "family friendly" at a company-wide meeting. I don't know how it would even be possible to storm out of such a meeting, when any meeting with more than 100 people will have people coming and going completely unnoticed. It sounds like sensational journalism from The Daily Caller.
May be in a few years time I will start something call Analog. Which is to sell anything that isn't Digital. Seriously I think the world is getting a little.... too digital in everything. ( I know this may be unpopular on HN )

I want to simplified the tightening lace, but it doesn't have to be auto. May be in a Pull Lever like mechanics.

When will someday people gets to hack the system and tightening up your lace just for fun? Would I have to update my shoes firmware as well. Or many of the Internet of Things we are going to have in the next 10 years.
In the cases where you have an indirect correlation, all you have to do is make it easier to measure the source that actually causes your undesired effect.

E.g if your customers assume only your male retail workers can help them with their electronics, you can make sure everybodies name badge says "Certified $PRODUCT expert".

The problem is when you have a situation like this, where the protected trait is likely the cause of issue (we all get slower and less intelligent as we age), or where you have government idiots say that you can't discriminate on traits that are correlated with a protected trait.

In the latter situation businesses will do so anyway, they will just do it secretly and try to cover it up.
I'm not sure advocating that we remove the law in order to prevent businesses from quietly breaking it is really solving the problem here.
if you know the vector's size in advance then you would use just the operator[] + resize and not push_back + reserve.
you would use push_back and reserve if you have a pretty good idea about the size but you can't depend on it.
> Octave does to MATLAB what R has done to SPSS and SAS

It won’t because all those new algorithms aren’t written in Octave (for the most part), but MATLAB (or Python or Julia).

MATLAB is not a dinosaur: it has had line profiler, JIT compiler, 3D plotting, builtin scriptable debugger in the default installation, long before Python or Julia, who still struggle with these highly valuable tools. Now it has notebooks, and plenty of other new stuff inspired by recent new stuff in Python et al. On top of that there is a Python FFI so you can call out to a Python installation if need be.
You appear to still not understand that Guccifer and Guccifer 2 are two separate entities.
You can. But roads (the public service) are a separate concern from people moving around (private decisions).

I want the roads to be built ahead of and shaping demand. But I also want emission costs to be fully internalized be the drivers. I expect this would cut down demand for excess commuting quite sharply.

I don't mind people traveling in general, as long as we can sustainably afford it. Right now, we can't sustainably afford current levels of fossil-fueled transport.
C64 Mini is getting a full-sized follow-up
At least if that was the case we would be able to quantify it, and people would know which industries it was worst in, and how much (eg. you should expect your income to peak at 42 years, save accordingly).
By that definition, Microsoft also makes a ton from gaming on the PC, as both a publisher and distributor of games.

One could argue that a large percentage of premium desktops and laptops choose windows for gaming compatibility and attribute a part of Windows revenues to gaming too. But that would be gaming numbers!

I think it fair to compare app store gaming revenues to consoles, as NO ONE buys an iPhone for gaming. They happen to (casual) game on the device they have on them in bed, or on the train, or everywhere.
The delay is added to make UTC slow. The Earth is the slow clock, UTC ticks at the same pace as TAI, so sometimes we add a leap second to UTC to sync it with the Earth.
As a Linux fanatic myself, I've been really interested in flashing a cheap Chromebook into Arch or something low resource, and using it as a super mobile workstation. I guess the only problem is, I haven't given up on my T430 from college. Upgraded parts, extended battery and dock makes for a very comfortable setup that's hard to leave.
Agree, if you add highres textures to old games you quickly reach a point where it just feels less consistent than before, because everything is pretty low tech and then you have these out of place photorealistic textures. It might just be me, considering how popular high res texture packs for Minecraft are. I always felt the stock ones or at least those that tried to mimic the 8 bit style looked best.

So yes, upgrading models and even the level geometry would be very cool IMO.

As far as I understand, all excess amino acids (that is, not used for protein synthesis), are indiscriminately metabolized for energy, diet doesn't factor into it. Your body cannot readily store amino acids outside of those free floating in the bloodstream (although it can store them in the form of tissue to catabolize later). A quick search will tell you that 13 amino acids are exclusively glucogenic (as opposed to ketogenic). Given that metabolism occurs in the liver, and the liver has little use for immediate energy, little direct oxidation occurs, so probably the majority of amino acids are converted into glucose and transported elsewhere.
This is the reason your urine is yellow, it's from the urea which contains dietary nitrogen waste from the constant metabolism of protein (carbohydrates/fats don't contain nitrogen).

Didn't bother with sources, so feel free to do your own research.
As a non-American, this is something that confuses me about American culture. I see a lot of statements along the lines of "I should be able to do X if it only harms me" but people also sue for X causing them damage.

If you play football then surely you accept certain risks onto yourself?
Talk about moving the goalposts! No, I don’t have any interest in a nuanced discussion with you around why I think that legislation in the Senate should pass a 60-vote threshold.

Whether or not Republicans could have funded border security Before is an interesting diversion.

Trump actually pushed hard for border security & wall funding the last time the govt was facing a shutdown, and he was convinced to sign a clean CR with the promise that border security would be addressed. It wasn’t.

So this time he has held fast. He is absolutely responsible for holding firm for a bill that has what he wants in it. He could sign a bill today without Wall funding and re-open the government.

Democrats in the House could also pass a bill today with $5.7b in Wall funding and the government would be open again in an hour. You have not disputed this as it’s indisputable.

Both sides are choosing to keep the government shut down.

Tomorrow at 3pm Trump will present yet another compromise proposal. He has at least been standing ready to negotiate this entire time, even through Christmas. He has said what he wants, as it’s a promise he made when he was running for election, and he is obviously willing to trade a lot for it. We’ll see tomorrow what his latest proposal is, and if and when Democrats will come to the table.

A rational negotiator, when the other side says “this is what I need to have” figures out what they need in return. If border fencing is “immoral” or “racist” then we have a lot of walls we better get bulldozing.

At worst Trump is saying he wants to waste $6b dollars on ineffective border measures. Well, by denying that appropriation, House Democrats have burned much, much more than $6 billion by now.

There are things you can ask for that cannot be bartered. He could be asking for a Constitutional Amendment of some sort. He could be asking for certain politicians to resign. He could be asking for actual racist or immoral things.

He’s asking for a border security appropriation to build 230 miles of wall in addition to the 690 miles that already exist. He wants to increase the border fencing by 1/3rd. He’s demanding this because a large number of people voted for him because he said he would do it.

This is something that can be traded for in a functioning democracy. I believe Democrats should put something commensurate on the table that they’re willing to trade for $6b in wall funding.

For example, the next Supreme Court nomination. If Ginsburg knew that Dems could fill her spot, perhaps she would be ready to retire. I think Trump would want $25b in Wall funding in return for that, but it’s within the realm of possibility. I think Dems need to get fucking creative and get to work on solving this, versus assuming a fake BuzzFeed scoop is going to solve their problem for them, or continue to play the optics as if the shutdown is good for Dems.
It's the other way around - UTC is based on TAI plus an integer number of seconds offset, and this offset is adjusted (by the insertion of leap seconds) to keep UTC roughly in sync with the Earth's rotation.
Sure, we can also legalize murder and learn a lot more about people that do it, why and a whole bunch of other data, but we don't do that for obvious reasons.

This is just a less fantastical example of that. And you can see how successful their attempt at hiding it was.
I have a solution to your Patreon issues, see my other comment below. I would be very interested in talking to you if collecting Ethereum is an alternative you are considering.

Show HN: Tania, an open source farm management software
I've implemented multiple such systems and I can say it's never been a case of the developer enjoying it. These dumb requirements always come from an exec that knows better. At one point a marketing manager informed me I "don't understand password security" while handing me a non-negotiable list of dumb mechanisms like you described.
Insurance is useful to spread the cost for things that are:

- Rare, but predictable in a statistical sense, ie x% of people will claim for y amount, and actuarial tables say so.

- Expensive to compensate. This is why we need to spread the risk.

- Where's it's hard to separate risk levels of different people. If not you get adverse selection, where the average cost discourages the safer people, leaving the less safe.

With the recent revelations about brain damage from tackle football, the actuaries will rightly decide that their old tables are systematically biased. More people will be allowed to claim that initially believed from the old evidence. Furthermore, you can't just up the premium to compensate, you don't know how bad it might get. There was that one study of old NFL players' brain that concluded all of them (!) had damage to their brains. You also don't have any idea what the courts will award, so you really have no clue how much to ask for.

You also have to ask whether general health insurance will start asking people whether they play football. (I'm not familiar with the US system). Much like smoking, it might turn out to be a predictable high risk group, so that people in it will have to pay prohibitively more for coverage, or not get covered at all.

So if all the youth players can't get insurance, you have to wonder what will happen to the professional game.

Perhaps there's some major rule change necessary. I'm not sure how I'd change it to be similar but safer, something about the game seems to require tackling to be football.
For the same reasons as Rust, both are in the middle of their growth phase and mass adoption stages.
And most importantly, the commenter gave one's suggestion based on representiveness, which are not facts. The rest follows from here.
Just like the amount of mass in a gram doesn't change based on location, time, or any other variable it's very important to have some measurement of time that is as constant and precise as possible. This helps us conduct science, where many types of experiments take place in less than a second. The measurements taken today should be readable decades or centuries from now without having to adjust for the slowing of Earth's rotation.

Now, maybe this unit of time needed for scientific purposes doesn't need to be the same one used for daily life.
Could you please clarify how it is less punitive? We have given reasons why we think a flat tax is not fair given the marginal value of a dollar compared to low income vs high income. I would like to hear your reasoning
> "Spoofing" caller ID is a feature, not a bug or hack

So was annonymous e-mail resenders and open proxies in a more genteel and dignified age.

Today, clearly the feature is being misused too much, so we need to shot it down. Make the CEO of any telecom company who forwards a spoofed call personally liabled for 100k in damages and that problem is solved. Some businesses may want a callback to go to their main-number, but frankly if somebody calls me I want a way to call them back.
This feature, along with the sound support, is what's gonna finally make the pixelbook a game changer for Linux desktops.
I can't wait for those, and the pixelbook 2.
I can’t help but wonder how I would do in these interviews.

Honestly, I think I’m a horrible programmer. My current gig is developing an api for a survey app, as well as an environmental sensor data app (which me and my partner built from the ground up).

It’s tough though. I don’t know many algorithms, and I have to do a lot of research. That said, I still get shit done and deliver.

I have no formal education and have taught myself.I would most likely fail these kinds of interviews.

How I got my current gig? No idea. Maybe my honesty won them over. Yes, I can do front end development. No I don’t know that, but I can learn.

Seems to have worked out so far.
>the workers with fake SSNs will never be able to collect their benefits on those wages, either - they end up in the IRS's suspense file.

And some unfortunate American can't finish their taxes because they end up with an extra W-2 they don't claim, because they didn't earn the money. Or when they go to claim SS benefits and the Social Security office notices that 25 people have been using their number and that they need to produce the last 40 years of their work and pay history to quickly resolve the matter. More victim less crimes.
Honestly, I thought it was pretty disappointing. If it wouldn't have been pointed out to me where it does its magic I probably couldn't have told whether the effect is turned on. I'd like to see random people who never played it before sat in front of 5 minutes of random gameplay with rtx on and off without telling them which is which and then have them guess afterwards.
Not only in C++, everywhere.

It is incredible the FUD in C# and Java against var, you see endless threads of how they are now dynamically typed like JavaScript.

Sometimes I wonder how did those ended up learning to program, don't people read books any more?!
So they'd have to be testing in the browser. Seems unlikely.
It's like gaming. Something like Candy Crush or Angry Birds. It requires a level of skill, but is not very challenging.
In at least one aspect, the adage becomes facially untrue -- you can fire bad employees, but you cannot get back good candidates rejected by means of a degrading exercise. You probably lose them forever.

In companies where opportunity cost and hidden losses are nobody's responsibility, this sort of mediocrity is well accepted.
For what it's worth I agree with you about the IoT. But I don't think it will stop. At this point it feels almost inevitable.
I built based on the current 1.0 source linked from the post, and it still seems to use XQuartz, unless there's some special flag I have to enable when building.
After proving the full functional correctness (that machine code implements spec), they did additional security proofs against the spec, including confidentiality and integrity. If you accept their TCB(no hardware bugs etc), the entire proof is incredibly strong.
I think every entity which holds a password should adopt the same policy: from the moment the password is created, the entity will undertake to do everything it can to try and break it. Whatever it takes - bot farms, 3rd-party white hat outfits, social engineering in the canteen, whatever. Anything (legal) goes.

Once the password is broken, the account will immediately be placed in suspense until the owner creates a new password. Which, of course, immediately gets fed back into the machine and life goes on.

This would eliminate password rules. If you want to create a password which consists of, say, 100 consecutive zeros, go for it. But you might only get to use it for a fraction of a second if the network can break it quickly.
> Nike rival Adidas is pursuing the goal in a different way, using interwoven textiles and self-tightening weaves in its N3XT L3V3L basketball shoe.

Emphasis mine. People scoff at a phone-connected shoe (which actually sounds pretty useful for the pro basketball application as described), but I think we can all agree this is worse.
Your points are valid, but ultimately an API is defined by its semantics in addition to data types. For anything beyond extremely primative RPC, you have to read the docs anyways.

Moving to proto3 means putting all your validation in one place, your serialization primitives in one place, and your docs in one place, instead of smattering them all over. It's a lot less error prone and way more maintenance friendly.
>The mythos of the Stradivarius is 100% about look and feel as opposed to anything real about the sound.

Nope. The Strads do have a great sound. The fact that select modern instruments can make equally great sound does not in any way diminish that for most of the last two centuries, Strads were among the very best-sounding violins.
The solution seems clear: prohibit tackling in football or change the rules to discourage it (for example no heavy helmets)
