Yes, I've learned that the hard way. Provided they give you payment in lieu of notice, they don't need much of a reason to let you go.

Myself and a co-worker were once let go for "performance reasons" at 10 months - just after project completion (successful). It was beyond my probationary period, and no issues where raised in the 2 performance reviews.

Their notice period was just 1 month. We were effectively cheap contractors.

My advice now is to treat offers with a low notice period (of them telling you) as a red flag. The norm is 3 months, after probation.
> microservices are primarily for team scaling

I've never heard this before or thought about it this way. If you need to restructure your code because of your team size, you have a bigger problem with your code than whether it's separated into microservices or not.

"Let's do everything as microservices" seems like a trend from a few years ago that has now somewhat died down. My suspicion is that it was PaaS companies like Heroku pushing people to do this because it made more sense for their products, but I don't have any evidence for that.

Since then, it seems that people have remembered not to solve a problem you don't have. If your code works and it's easy enough to work on it, you don't need to radically change its structure.

Keep in mind that several companies have tens of thousands of employees working on a mono-repo.

> I'm curious to see if there's a clear cut off which dictates that...

There's no clear cut off for anything in managing a software team. It's not a science, and individual situations vary too much to create hard and fast rules.

Scheme is a stunningly beautiful language with inferred parentheses:

define | edge? g e
let
$ es | edges g
e2 | reverse e
or (member e es) (member e2 es)

I used to rely on a preprocessor that translates back and forth to standard Scheme:

(define (edge? g e)
(let
( (es (edges g))
(e2 (reverse e)))
(or (member e es) (member e2 es))))

One gives up being able to use standard tools. For Emacs or Vim, one can write one's own tools, but it's nice to be able to try out everyone else's work first.

The central question for any programming language isn't how comfortably it welcomes casual newcomers; it's how effectively it creates a human:machine interface for the committed. Most criticisms of how Lisp looks can be likened to criticisms of a frozen screen from a crashed video game. One needs to play the video game. Lisp acquires its meaning in short time scales from the experience of syntax-aware editing, a live experience. Lisp acquires its meaning in long time scales from the experience of using macros to rewrite the language to exactly suit the problem at hand. Haskell is safer, faster, more densely expressive, but not as plastic. Lisp appeals to woodworkers; other languages appeal to people who like to buy nice furniture, sit in it and get to work. I can see both sides, and I've worked hard to experience both sides.
A farm up the hill from where I live produces eggs from several thousand free-range chickens, and they sell them on site with a vending machine by the dozen. They also sell "catering" eggs in trays of 30, for under half the price of a dozen standard eggs. These are irregular shapes (too elongated for "large" egg boxes) and double-yolk eggs. All perfectly tasty and edible, but cosmetically unsaleable. I'm happy to take advantage of the opportunity to buy them!

At the same time, it's also good to know that there's no wastage here. All the non-standard produce goes into cakes, quiches and other commercial products where the appearance isn't noticeable.

"2K" is usually used to describe 2560x1440 or similar monitors. I find these ideal personally. I don't notice much difference much from higher resolution than that, gaming at 4K requires high end hardware, and scaling between different resolution monitors is a pain.

1440p seems like a good sweet spot between the two. But yes, 2K is a silly name for it.

It drives me crazy when fonts look at the old convention of "strike through zero" and for some reason decides they need to be different from the convention and allow the strike to pass the edges of the zero circle. "Anka/Coder" in the linked article is guilty of this.

When the strike passes the edge of the circle, it's no longer a zero, it's a Danish or Norwegian "Ö" (Ø). It's been a part of their alphabet for centuries.

The whole purpose of the "strike through zero" is to stop it from being mixed up with Omega. By badly thought out design and a need to be different for no reason, you just returned to square one, because the font is now unreadable for anyone that knows or works with the letter Ø.

Apparently Windows Update uses TLS without encryption (null cipher) which still provides integrity and authentication: https://twitter.com/swiftonsecurity/status/74533301869746995.... Debian's signing achieves the same result by signing the package list containing the packages' hashes with a known key.
It's not really a metric, just an absurd example to illustrate a point. In answer to your example, I would say probably yes, but not exactly the same and it wouldn't be called Amazon. Amazon bought up and merged competitive companies on its way to success. If Amazon didn't exist, it's likely one of those, or another competitor that fell by the wayside would've taken its place.
I think it's extremely unlikely that most of the hard work, good decisions, clever innovations etc that led Amazon to win can be attributed to Bezos personally, as most of the spoils have.

There are RER stations within Paris: everything within zone 1 is in the city of Paris:

https://parismap360.com/carte/image/en/paris-rer-map.jpg

But even if cutting prices is within Paris only it will probably affect suburb-Paris traffic, because it changes the cost of a trip to Paris, possibly now cheaper than driving. The article is light on details, but it looks like these measures are taken by the city of Paris with the aim to reduce the traffic within the city.
Besides the privacy issue of sending package names clear-text, there is a second non-mitigated issue: Censorship.

An MitM could selectively block certain package being installed / update. Imagine using this to prevent: Bitcoin being installed / enforce a ban on crypto without backdoors / block torrent installations.

This doesn't work as well with the 'recognize package size' method because you need to download the entire package before you know the size. Given the need for Ack in TCP, an MitM can't just buffer data until they have the entire package size.
This does seem like something of a hostage to fortune, I can't imagine how they intend to moderate it. Obviously people are going to poll their echo-chamber in support of toxic ideas.

This statement is a bit confusing; "Phlegm is a slightly different substance. It's a form of mucus produced by the lower airways — not by the nose and sinuses — in response to inflammation. You may not notice phlegm unless you cough it up as a symptom of bronchitis or pneumonia;" searched "mucus vs. phlegm" on Google.

Therefore isn't a thickening of phlegm (a form of mucus) an increase in quantity, therefore we can say it increases?

The doctor who wrote the response in your link is saying "Phlegm is the thick, sticky mucus that drips down the back of your throat when you have a cold. Although drinking milk may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat than it would normally be, milk doesn't cause your body to make more phlegm. In fact, frozen dairy products can soothe a sore throat and provide calories when you otherwise may not eat."

However as we just read: "Phlegm ... is a form of mucus produced by the lower airways — not by the nose and sinuses" - so it can't be a "Phlegm is the thick, sticky mucus that drips down the back of your throat when you have a cold."

So is the doctor wrong? Is Google's top result wrong with its "mucus vs. phlegm" answer?

Also that link you provided links to no scientific research. The quick search I did on other scientific research, the methods don't seem too sound for controls - likewise if mucus production is caused by inflammation - if that person is only removing say dairy from their diet, however their body already has significant or "maximum" inflammation (leading to them producing their maximum amount of mucus they otherwise would) then they're not going to have an increase simply by adding another inflammatory factor, unless they reduce inflammation "completely" first.

Hey,

Firstly, you must change firmware. Choose something open source: AOSP or its forks.

Do not install Google apps (Gapps). Google is the evilest part of phones: there r lotta telemetric functions and it takes much memory.

Find out more about F-Droid. It's a repo of FOSS apps for android. For apps that exist just in Google Play you can use Yalp but I'd not recommend downloading them 'coz you don't know what they really do.

Get used to use VPS as default.

I feel the same way, I explicitly avoid any device described as "smart". I don't need a "smart" blender or microwave or coffeemaker or refrigerator or anything else.

The only two exceptions are my phone (hard to avoid) and my radiator thermostats.

For the latter, they are connected to the internet and I can adjust temperature and put them in "holiday mode" from an app or web page. However the control box doesn't require any firewall holes or port openings, as far as I can tell it gets updates by sending a HTTP request to the same online portal where I can control my heating schedules.

It communicates with the thermostats and window sensors on some kind of RF protocol similar to Z-wave, but if someone goes to the effort of hacking that just to mess with my heating, I would actually be a bit flattered.

I probably wouldn't choose the internet-connected version again. Even though it is a lot easier to setup and manage, I think I would prefer the "dumb" standalone units. They're a bit more fiddly to setup initially, and you have to put each of them to holiday mode manually. But I would prefer to not have them connected to any kind of network.

I used to be the type of person who wanted everything 100% connected 100% of the time. Over the last couple of years, I've taken a pretty hard turn in the opposite direction, I prefer to have everything as simple and standalone as possible.

> Not that I work a lot with paper anymore, but I see no advantage of not aligning stuff in the real world just like a tiling wm would...

That depends on how you like to switch windows. Virtual windows can do one thing that papers can't, they can magically move themselves in the Z space. If you size/space your windows so that no matter what Z order things are in, there is always part of every window visible, you can VERY quickly click on that part to bring that window to the front.

Yes, I know tiling WMs can give you awesome keybindings... but some people like using the mouse or work for shitty companies that don't allow WM installs.

No idea. I use mainly Debian but I think Ubuntu has a more aggressive update policy and is based on Debian. Not sure about RH since I don't know a lot about their package managers. But CentOS and Fedora are probably also quite up to date.

It is. A lot of my strong feelings for the IBM MDA/EGA/VGA font comes from its 80's-ness and its origins. Also, at the time I first saw them (first on CGA, then on MDA) I was an active user of 3270's terminals and I wondered why would they do that if they had the choice of using something cleaner. I understand CGA dictated wide vertical stems (because NTSC) and that probably influenced the choice for MDA (it was already used in other pieces of equipment, IIRC) for consistency but...

Nobody has a monopoly of meaning.

Ultimately meaning closely tracks use. But if you want to maximise the probability of being understood, then it's wise to use a term in the way that the audience you are talking to is using it. And on a comp-sci centric site like Hacker News, that means to understand "logic" in the sense of formally valid truth-preserving inferences. All the more so since the post I was replying to, and my own clearly were arguing about formal logic.

As an aside, there have been attempts at formalising logical approaches a little more in the tradition of Hegel [1], maybe started in earnest by Paul Lorenzen. But this only got real traction in the 1990s with Girard's linear logic [2] game semantics of logic [3]. The tradition of game semantics is firmly within the Fregean tradition of logic as formal logic.

This is very asymmetric though. The cost for an attacker is very low. The cost for Debian and it's mirror network is very high.

Given that the cost of implementation is high and the protection is minimal the decision to not do so is reasonable.
From my understanding, if the raw material is 8-bit, simply using 10-bit won't help with banding unless you also use some de-banding or smoothing filters together.
