pos-clarification:

I Still find your "communication and analytical technology" kind of very weak as a definition, but let's just stop here, better. While still time to edit, and now if you don't want to stop feel free, Let's call things by their real names. because there is no need to be polite towards pure Snark ,what is not polite as well. so...

This definition of yours : "communication and analytical technology"

...Is Not just very weak, is utterly Bullshit. And I don't like to waste time with people who's Cognitive Capacity allows himself to reason in such a clueless way, So I don't know if that manure you call a definition is arrived from Malice or just Ignorance itself, but it is Manure in both the 2 only possible cases.

And you yourself, in your cluelessly, ( The Irony of The destiny) This is a quote from you, yourself, from your Github:

"Fancy is a physics computing project developed with fanciful ideas of creating a programmatic sense of fantasy for the virtual minds of the coming AI revolution"

LOL ( it means I am laughing a lot here)

"coming AI revolution"

Anytime now, "Genious", I see it at the corner already. Lol. ;)

By the way, do you know what Snark is?

...look the dictionary and then read that your comment again, then you will know what Snark is. If you don't find it , look for Sarcasm, it's the same. "En passant" , you can look the other words you don't know the meaning in my comment,

And I am sure you don't know the meaning of too many words, by the way you write in your Github, imagine the way you write in a random insignificant comment in a Topic that was already dead long time before you make your clueless comment.
American suburbia is extremely sparsely populated and fundamentally unfit to provide the cultural institutions that modern, small families and communities require.

That's just your opinion. Thriving suburbs are practically sustained in toto by middle class (broadly speaking) people in nearby cities who want a greener, safer, larger space with better schools (at least by their perception) for their children on their given level of income.
In the US we have the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. It's responsible for paying out pensions of companies that go bankrupt. This I think was the outcome of Studebaker terminating it's pension plan in 1963.

One change I'd like to see is if a company goes bankrupt the pension fund is ahead of the rest of the creditors. Also underfunded pensions should be considered a liability on the books.
Ask HN: What open-source tool can I use to organize my life/identity?
I'm looking for a self-hosted solution that can manage my personal identity by aggregating data from various sources. It would preferably track the shows I've watched, websites I've visited, my exercise routine, my books, my location, etc... Basically I'm seeking a secure and nonsocial Facebook.

I'm currently just using text files with a little automation, but I've realized that this method is both limiting and tedious. I'm hoping that I can find something better to organize my data before all my knowledge becomes fragmented.

If I don't find anything that fully meets my criteria, I'll probably just create a personalized dashboard or integrate my data with something like Grafana. Has anyone had any luck with this method? If so, are there any tips you'd like to share?
> Before then there were pensions which seemed more stable.

That's the problem. Companies/governments said they were stable but they were in fact not because they were based on the capitol returns which as you said "past returns do not indicate future performance". This lead to a bunch of companies/governments overpromising pension payouts and now they either get screwed if it was a company that went/is going bankrupt or the taxpayers get screwed because they are on the hook for those overly generous pension payouts.

PM for Azure DevOps here. We've been investing heavily in our user experience and our CI/CD experience, so I'm sad to see that we've disappointed here.

Some of these complaints I would agree with - in particularly, we're not (yet) caching build resources - though we're working on this now. But most of these complaints I was quite surprised to hear; not an experience I would want someone to have or what I see from the majority of our customers. So this is certainly a place where I'll follow up with the author to learn more.
My wife has a friend whose husband ended his own life that way. The family members who found him not only lost a loved one, but they also have the horrific images of his self-mutilation seered into their memory. I’d really urge you to think about that aspect...
You should look at Shuron. They don't have a fancy website but they do have great customer service and offer their frames in various measurements, and if you have a large head they have frames that will fit. You can order according to the eye size, bridge size, and TPL (temple size).
If you reuse an IV on 2 files at rest, information that both files have the same prefix leaks. If you use a counter IV, or a random IV, you got nothing -- that's the only point I'm making ivs don't have to be random in the confines of the right context
How does this avoid the problem in the first place?
Or worse, one family kicks their kids out, and they float around to all the neighbors. Eventually, neighbors learn to avoid them because it's everyday and they misbehave. /Rant

I’m a new vegan and occasionally miss getting a good ol hamburger. Recently I went to Carl’s Jr. and picked up a Beyond Burger with fries. It’s a super unhealthy meal, but it’s nice to know I can go get fast food if I want to. That said, today I had a traditional veggie burger and it was delicious. I wouldn’t normally want the meat alternatives, but I’m super happy I have the option. If they started carrying the fake chicken nuggets I’d be in total heaven.
More opportunities to work, fewer to start a family.
I kinda feel like this was on the right track but then it turned into, let me sell you something.
Cool. This mean that hopefully there will be some tf open source implementations in the future. I guess there is something I don't see. I'm intrigued, does your code run inside a single sess.run() so that it can be composed nicely? If so did you use a "special trick"?
This sounds like a problem pretty unique to Javascript, honestly.

I think if you saw a professional C++/C#/F#/LISP*/Clojure dev etc pulling in a dependency to do IsOdd you'd rightly laugh at them... Yet in JS, that just seems like an acceptable thing to do.

I don't understand why the standard is so low. Is it because of all these learn Javascript / Web development in 12 weeks bootcamps?

Anecdotally I've lived in a few different places, and it seems to vary a lot, even by neighborhood. In Utah there are tons of kids around. In Alaska there were neighborhoods here and there with lots of kids, and many others with practically no kids. I would guess that perception of kids varies a lot based on which neighborhood you move to, but yes overall it is declining.
Because I'm a fast typist, I sometimes swear at people and then delete what I have typed as a cathartic exercise if they're being annoying. I've done it since I was a teenager. It's like second nature, probably because I do it in my head too.

It's unsettling to know that a customer service agent would see that and think I'm being impolite.
My pleasure, and good luck.
Always used Fedora but tempted to give Debian a try. Is there some general consensus on what release to run on a day-to-day workstation? The docs seem to discourage use of testing or sid, but many distros in the debian ecosystem seem to pull from both repositories.
To correct a few errors and omissions in the parent:

Tesla sold 141000 Model 3 in the US in addition to the 126000 Model S and X you note in that period. The total is 267000 cars in the US compared to the leafs 126000.

The i3 has been available in the US since 2014, the Bolt since 2016, which is hardly "just came out". However neither car sells in volume, both are well below 2000 per month over that period.
If only these companies had set their intention better.

"250 People We're Letting Go"
This is a headline, not a proper noun. Regardless of 'supposed to', it shouldn't be capitalized. There is no advantage to capitalizing, it, but it does lead to confusion.
Thanks for the kind words; I agree that caching is a problem. We're working on it now.
Then I would say racial bias is not the same as racism. You can not really blame the people who developed those tools for not being surrounded by people of all races, or for the use case of, say, white people. It's not a malicious intent, whereas racism implies malice.

It seems to me many US citizens think the whole world is like the US. It isn't. There are many countries where there are not as many "races" living together as in the US.

I think it's an important point. For example, if I were a writer and I would write a novel, I would perhaps only feature white people in it. But not because I have anything against black people, but simply because I don't really know any black people and would therefore be hard pressed to write about them. Doing that wouldn't make me racist - I would simply write a novel from "my" world. It would in fact probably be impossible to write a novel that accounts for all possible human experiences.

Edit: would it even have been possible to calibrate chemical film to work equally well for black and white skin? What if it would have been necessary to have different film rolls for white and black skin, for optimal result. Would those have been racist film rolls? Or what about makeup for different skin tones? Is that racist?
We should phase in a federal 400% annual land value tax on the appraised price which all land would sell for if clear of improvements over the next 80 years.

A 400% annual tax on the market value means the expect purchase price of an empty lot will approach 3 months worth of tax payments for holding it. A percentage of the gross revenues can be prebated to citizen residents at the beginning of each year to afford taxes due at the end of the year. A large deduction can be granted for land and real estate property tax payments made to state and local governments.

The additional revenues gained from the tax can be used to abolish sales and payroll taxes which fall more heavily on younger working families so it is more affordable for future generations to have a larger number of children earlier in life.
I want a source for that outrageous claim that the most environmentally damaging human endeavor is growing vegetables. I suspect you being right would turn the world on its head.
Keep in mind that 7-Zip is a fairly old app - it first shipped two years before Windows XP, which also happens to be the first version of Windows that had cryptographic APIs, and in particular, CryptGenRandom.
Someone who was some years older than me and had been a hippy once told me something like "TV went off at 9pm. There wasn't much to do after 9pm other than sex and drugs."

We now have the internet available 24/7. You can have live conversation with people around the world at any time of the day or night. You can get a lot of your sexual and emotional needs met through some means other than a relationship in meat space.

Historically, the default assumption was you got married and presumably the result would be children. We had a lot of cultural norms, like shot gun weddings, to deal with the reality that birth control mostly wasn't a thing and there were consequences to getting your needs met. This was part of why we generally insisted on standards like no sex before marriage.

A lot has changed over the years. For good and for bad.

> The servers could all run on a dev server and compile/test cycles can be done on similar servers.

In every case I've had a dev db running on a shared test server, that DB has been woefully underspecced for the purpose and often in a datacenter with 300ms latency from the office over the company VPN.

While production instances are in the same datacenter as the production DB with 5ms latency.
Suburbia is fine, and those definitions are skewed by certain regions of the country. A older northeast suburb is similar to Europe. White middle class people just don’t have kids anymore.

Of my cousins (about 12 people), only half are married at 35-40, and three couples have kids. That’s not uncommon.

At some point, acquisitions and trips became more important than family. Personally, I think that it is really sad.
7-Zip has its own format, completely distinct from ZIP.

A Whole Foods near me used to have a system with a global queue, where you would sort into multiple lines (e.g. A, B, C, D) and there would be a screen saying which line's turn it was to send someone (A first, then B, then C, then D, rinse and repeat). It was pretty quick and nobody seemed to mind it much

Sweden has never been distinctly socialist. But it used to be more socialist than today. For instance the Swedish government used to own Absolut Vodka from 1917, when Sweden nationalized the alcohol industry, until 2008.
Still unclear, to the point of being simply wrong.

One feature of preprint repositories is to decouple the science from the control of publishers.

How do publishers have a say over what can and cannot be posted to these repositories? Particularly when, as the article notes, many preprint articles will never even be published. Please provide a citation if possible, even a single example.

"a single repo can't accept work from disparate fields"

ArXiv is a single repository that itself hosts papers in mathematics, physics, astronomy, electrical engineering, computer science, quantitative biology, statistics, quantitative finance, and economics. [1] All are named repeatedly and featured with their own sections on the landing page. Are economics & astronomy considered the same field?

How do aggregators (like BASE and CORE) factor in? Why are they not somehow publisher-forbidden?

Note also that the arXiv.org FAQ on how they expanded to cover new fields makes no mention whatsoever of publisher restrictions. [2] Instead, it names difficulties like finding qualified moderators for the topics as a barrier, and mentions feasability/desirability as reasons they don't attempt to cover all disciplines.

CryptGenRandom first appeared in WinXP.

One problem with module systems (in compiled languages) is, that they form dependency chains.

Imagine you change code in an upstream module. Now the compiler has to recompile all downstream modules. In C and C++ this only happens if you change the header file.
(On the other hand modern development techniques emphasize tests so you might only recompile your module and the testsuite until all tests pass and only then recompile all modules, minimizing the impact.)

For a full recompilation you can parallelize C and C++ compilations much better than any module system I know.
Condé Nast to Put All Titles Behind Paywalls by Year End
I think title should be updated to "Microsoft's Azure DevOps CI: An Unsatisfying Adventure", as all the complaints here are about builds but this service supports lots of other features.

My experience with using DevOps nee VSTS was mostly satisfying. For various reasons unrelated to the post, my team ended up installing the build agent on our own bare metal hardware, and other than needing to restart the agent, I didn't have any mission critical issues. Totally agree with all the UI complaints.

> “Consumers may realize the product is healthier for them and their family, but when it boils down to it they’re probably going to go with the thing that tastes better or they’re more familiar with,” said Billy Roberts, senior food and drink analyst at Mintel. But manufacturers such as Lightlife are targeting younger consumers, he said, who are more likely to try new products they see as healthier.

I sometimes think these plant-based burger outfits are doing themselves a disservice by trying to simulate a beef burger. At this point, the ground beef most people are accustomed to is not all that tasty.

As for taste vs healthy, well that's another, albeit related, issue. Food as a source of pleasure, as opposed to a source of nutrition for the body / mind, has distorted the consumption expections for the last 25 - 50 years. Too much salt, too much sugar, hyper-flavored foods designed to increased consumption are all status quo.

To me, the smart (startup) move would be to move beyond the confines (and baggage) of the burger, and become the sports drink of healthier eating.

Yes. Easier said than done. But being a cookie cutter is running into the competition storm.
I dunno if you guys have gotten feedback on this, but the difference between build artifacts, artifact feeds, and the output of some pipelines' tasks in terms of artifacts is really confusing.

I know it's probably getting translated to yaml from the old way which was a bunch of forms with build options, but we had some trouble with this. At the time, yaml releases were also still in development/preview mode.

One thing I'm going to miss is being able to discover things through the build wizard. Now it's just a blank yaml file and I feel that hurts the initial impression. I'd really like an option to build yaml files using the old way, but still get the yaml output for version control, that way I have all of the options and their potential values immediately available and I don't have to memorize and type everything.

There's a bunch I like about Azure DevOps though. Hopefully I haven't missed something really obvious.
I'm torn between this and the X1 and the T4xx to dual-boot Linux and Windows. How's Linux and its drivers on the latest Lenovos?
I've been using this day in and day out for several years now on a ton of projects. We mostly use hosted git, and pipelines. The lack of NPM cache is a giant pain, and that's why we run our own build agents. Other than that, I can't say enough about it. Compared to some of the monsters I've seen built with Jenkins, I love the simplicity of the builds and releases we have created in Azure DevOps.

Plus opportunity cost when developers talk and the good guys decide between a job with servers or VMs in the cloud and a MacBook pro to use them or a shitty, out of date, slower than Christmas windows desktop rendered on a vdi appliance connected to a Citrix server in the next state.

To me, the takeaway is the strategy he used to start the business: "In the early 2000s, Topf began appearing outside German venues with a van, offering to pick up, wash and return the production’s clothes." Then after seeing the quality, artists/managers invited him to join tours. It's genius, simple but original and effective.

Also not surprised at the dirtiest crap ever being Slipknot's clothes. Their concerts were quite an experience. Not only is the show impressive (levitating drummers and all), but also the sheer synchronization and speed at which they play.
