Not correct at all and why do you have to make a fake new account to post your false troll?

WalMart for several years has been maintaining sufficient stock for advertised black friday items. They had sufficient stock for everyone that wanted one, and they also were selling it online as well on Black Friday with free shipping.

I bought FOUR and gave them to friends and family. I use mine as a camera, mp3 player, and portable web browser and have never paid an additional cent for it.
>[...]there should be some guarantee by the government that the disabled veteran should be no less able to qualify for a job that someone not disabled can qualify for[...]

Doesn’t the ADA(A) cover this? Doesn’t it specifically ensure that disability can’t be used for qualification?

>[...]with the difference in productivity compensated by the government.

Wouldn’t that undermine the fact that people with disabilities shouldn’t be evaluated based on their disability and ‘reasonable’ accommodations should be made?
That makes sense to me. Logging and measurement are also used for this purpose--increasing productive control over a (human in this case) system.
As long as you share useful information instead of just hateful ranting with nothing for any reader to gain I don't mind it.
Why would you _want_ 10 acres? What are you going to do with all of that space?

I like walking to the grocery store (or bar, or restaurants, etc). I like biking to work. I live within walking distance of literally 6 parks, so it's not like I'm starved for green or open space.

I don't understand your point of view to the exact same degree that you don't understand mine.
Public transportation in Paris is already somewhat overcrowded, especially during rush hours on several lines(cannot get it even by letting several subways pass). It's mandatory that employers reimbourse 50% of the price, and overall it's already really cheap. All in all, it's a bit pointless and more a stunt. (it's free as well for a couple of tiers if I remember well)
I'm surprised that the list doesn't mention consolas. It ships default with visual studio and it's so good that I use it on arch Linux as my terminal font and with intellij. It was designed with programming in mind and has some nifty characteristics like a slash through zero. This list also misses out on 'operator mono' which is a well thought out font for programming.
[Disclaimer: this is pure conjecture and represents my opinion only; I'm a Google outsider.]

For a while, "AWS" and "the cloud" were practical synonyms; it was very rare that anyone meant not-AWS. In my opinion, Kubernetes is a major piece of Google's strategy to turn that tide and improve their marketshare.

Does throwing "a large team of engineers" at a problem typically result in something that's "as easy as possible to use"? "Design-by-committee" is not a term of endearment.

A sibling comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18958077 notes that "there are a ton of nicer UIs for Kubernetes", but that they're sold separately as proprietary PaaS platforms. Even if we pretend like GCP/GKE isn't one of them, Kubernetes-The-Platform will be impacted by the interests of its primary vendors and advocates, whether or not certain teams at Google are keen to admit that.

>It's crazy to me that people are saying that they can hear the difference between 24-bit 192khz recordings and something like 320Kbps MP3 or 192 VBR

With some decent headphones and a basic knowledge of compression artifacts, it's not particularly difficult to tell the difference in a blind test. You can diff a FLAC and MP3 recording using phase inversion, which allows you to train your ears to recognise compression artifacts. Modern perceptual encoders are very good, but they're not perfect. It's not a difference I particularly care about, but it is there.
I said that there was an option to get retention grant as stock, options or cash (usually just the two former but at least once all three were available). Nothing about raises or bonuses being over 4 years.

I actually can't remember getting any bonuses, just salary adjustments and retention/equity refresh.

Those hunger pangs are temporary. Your body will adjust in some time. Fruits like watermelon or vegetables like raw cucumber help. They make you feel full without costing calories.
Take a look at some of the "dyslexic" fonts. The asymmetry is very useful in dynamic situations: low/high/variable G environment, shaking, smoke in cockpit, O2 mask on, loud noises, lost eyewear, multiple distractions (alarms), etc.
Yes, many thanks for the correction.
That recently announced change concerned only non-digital, real life goods & services.
I'd like to see an elimination tournament of these so you can two fonts head-to-head and vote for your preferred until you discover you favorite.

Identifont is a similar system. It uses a twenty-questions style format to identify an unknown font.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I might decide to become a GSuite customer at some point (maybe soon).

Since you say you used my setup for a long time, are you referring to the forwarding feature or the POP3 feature?

If POP3: how did you deal with lack of security?

If forwarding: how did you deal with basically all forwarded emails failing SPF validation when reaching the google server?

Thanks

The electric motorcycle Harley-Davidson just announced is rumored to be engineered to sound like a jet. I think that’s a lame call out to their “loud pipes save lives” audience, and that other makes (Euro and Japanese especially) will not be interested – there’s very little overlap between those markets despite them all being motorcycles.

I like the 'M+' fonts for C++ code. Nice and compact to allow more characters to fit comfortably on a line.
My daily exercise routine is to walk for an hour (8000 - 10000 feet) in the evening and then do pushup and situps as much as I can. I am currently at 30 pushups and 20 situps. I have started the pushups and situps only recently but I have been walking for a while now. Is this healthy?
What the shit. My carport is close to 680 sq.ft. I’ve lived in places smaller than that when I was young but that was necessity not choice.

This. 4k matters much less for games and movies than for programming; it's hard to tell the difference when looking at moving images but the higher resolution changes everything when reading text. A high DPI screen puts much less strain on your eyes!
While admirable, I’m not there yet: let’s just say I don’t have a problem at the moment with Google reading all my activity (I like the ecosystem too much), as long as I can take out my data periodically (Takeout works well enough for me) and an account suspension wouldn’t mean me losing my email address for more than a few hours (which is what I’m trying to fix now).
I wonder why we evolved to feel silly. You'd think the safety aspect of looking silly would outweigh the social aspect of doing things that cause mocking in others.
Consolas is a proprietary font, and this list includes only free and/or open source fonts. It does include the similar Inconsolata.
I got a 2K monitor (4K was too expensive) for this very reason.

Standard 1080p monitors seem so bad with text, and once you plop them next to an MBP Retina screen the difference is extremely pronounced,
> your proof that the afterlife can’t exist

I didn't say that it can't exist, I said that it doesn't exist. Very important distinction. Fusion reactors can exist, but don't.

> Common afterlives discussed involve non-human being(s) to run the whole thing, so I assumed that we could assume the existance of one.

Again: why on earth would you assume that? People talk about warp drive too, but that doesn't license you to assume that it exists.
Yes, there is bound to be overhead as you describe.
For some it might be worth the effort, but no doubt effort is involved.

Regarding monolith -> ms — I’m starting to think this is the way to do it — once you have the flow of data already estblished and the (working) system(s) somewhat defined it becomes easier to decouple bits and pieces.
Not much so risky as sitting all day though. Whatever you do, get off your butt.

The key to understanding this is to understand, that aspiring to work in lottery'ish professions pays less than, predictable well established career paths.

There are only going be a dozen Tom Hanks and Chritian Bale in a country at any given time. If that is what you want to be you are going to have to settle for something way way lesser than even the normal after a few years, because you have no real skills, domain knowledge or experience compared to even the most ordinary of jobs out there.

I think you are likely to live a good life if you understand that normal is how most millionaires are made. Also don't run behind points. YouTube likes, Instagram likes etc etc. Don't use imaginary internet proxy points to measure your value, worth, or the value/worth of your work.

Well, she does say it's "enraging" and I can imagine (if her story is true) so it gives some real emotion to the story. Is it most effective? I don't know, depends on the goal I guess.

If you click through to the study, they say they tested endurance too (at 50% 1RM). It may be that one set is insufficient to build endurance at higher loads (say 80% 1RM), but not clear. The biggest difference between 1, 3 and 5 sets was muscle hypertrophy (which increased with the number of sets). A lot of "strength" training has hypertrophy as an unstated goal, which makes sense if you're training for the football team, but less so if you're just training for life.
The mess started with Windows 8. Up until Windows 7 the UI was stil usable, and the Start Menu was great.
(Another proportional font user) These cause problems in diffs as well. Change bigTestVarible to bigTestVAriable and all three lines show as changed.

Nevertheless, for teams that insist, the auto code formatter makes it look ‘nice’ for them.

Personally, I think vertical alignment apart from indentation is a mistake for more than these reasons. It implies a structure where there is none.
99.5% of everything ever created with VB is probably line-of-business apps. Which is to say, most users would only be exposed to 1 or 2 such app, usually at work.
This feels like pseudoscience dressed up as the real thing.

"Getting stronger only takes 13 minutes three times a week" starts off with a reference to a recently published paper that looks promising, but the second paragraph is about the author's personal belief that high intensity/slow motion workouts are the best for you. There's no real connection between these two paragraphs except that they both prescribe shorter weigh lifting sessions.

"You can improve your body's function and alleviate anxiety in two minutes a day" again lists someone's personal take on dealing with anxiety and stress. While deep breathing is certainly helpful they don't site any peer reviewed papers or clinical studies that say 2-4 minutes of deep breathing a day will impact your heart rate/blood pressure/anxiety much less do it via increasing alpha waves.

"Cutting out sugar..." is similarly good intentioned (almost everyone should eat less sugar than they do, myself included) but again cites nothing meaningful.

Also this damn site somehow popped up two autoplaying audio/video ads, one of which I could not see or get rid of. Rage inducing.
It's probably worth it if you work on the side project regularly enough for it to occasionally regress in known faulty ways. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about a more low-maintenance approach.

"I'm a Senior Software Engineer from Vienna. I have more than 7 years of experience in Software Development,"

No, you are not an engineer unless you really do have a dipl. ing. (BSc. in engineering) degree; you're a programmer. Don't pretend.

No, you are not senior anything; with seven years of experience you are maybe 70% through your apprenticeship, provided you've really applied yourself; at 20 - 35 years of experience you will be senior provided you've really paid attention.

Honestly, the self-bloating flattery is nonsense. Be modest, because otherwise you're deluding yourself. You have such a long way to go.
Verdana and Optima are my go to fonts. Have used proportional fonts since 2010, with close to no problems, save the occasional newbie who aligns assignments or types.
"Know what happens to most of the produce that's edible, has enough shape to survive in transit, but looks funny? IT GOES TO THE GROCERY STORES THAT POOR PEOPLE SHOP AT"
The ugliest fruits never make it to the market. Step-son of greengrocer here. Really, the most clear example to me is the fact that perfectly good fruits and vegetables get 'turned over' during harvest season because they do not fetch the minimum amount and are turned into cattle feed.
Farmers markets that have actual farmers selling produce they grow. It's primarily the supermarkets and corporatized/lazy markets that sell primarily pretty cardboard.

Also, grow your own.. anyone with at least a balcony and sunlight in California has no excuse to grow tomatoes and peppers in the summer.

Grocery Outlet sells hydroponic Live Lettuce for cheap, including the mixed varieties box, at least here.
I guess the author was upset that a great many people parroted the 'ugly fruits get disposed' line without doing any research. I might have mentioned it myself, because it was all over the news.
I can understand why someone who works in the industry would find this frustrating - it's basically just fake news and the damage is real. A rebuttal would get nowhere near the press the sensationalist original story would get.

The lesson from this is - share stories only within your area of expertise.
[Sarcasm on]I think the most shocking of this is that an engineer with 7 years is already a senior these days. I even heard more shocking things like people with 3-5 years are already seniors. So what about people with 15 years? How shall we call them? Super senior? How about 30? Call them mega-giga-super-senior? And 40? Principal-giga-senior?[Sarcasm off]

Having said that, I actually agree with everything the article says.
It reeks of the same attitude those late night infomercials give when they claim you can lose weight with a pill/supplement.
This is a social problem, only exacerbated by technology. There's no technical solution.
Win7's built in menu search was great. Win8 technically had similar functionality but it was awful for all the reasons you mention (lag, poor search capability) plus it took over your whole screen in a horrible, visually jarring flash making it very unpleasant to use. Win10's is halfway between the two, but close enough to Win7's that I actually use it now instead of just using Launchy and pretending the Windows menu doesn't exist, like I do on Win8.

Edit: While we're talking about laggy keyboard interfaces, AAARGH the Win10 logon screen is awful. You have to hit a key, then wait for the screen to load and be shown on the screen, before you start typing your PIN, or it'll eat the first character of your PIN going from "press any key to log on" to "enter your pin". What the hell is so hard about understanding that keyboard interfaces shouldn't be laggy even if graphics don't quite keep up? Electric typewriters from 1990 got this right!

> The promoters of capitalism do most definitely promise that.

No, they don't. That's just a poorly made up strawman.

At best what capitalism proponents defend is that it provides a system where products and services are provides efficiently to the public due to a combination of free enterprise, private ownership of the means of production, and competition.
Sure, if he has no value to them, the company has every right to let go of him and hire someone better. Doesn't mean that they have to do it as if their worker is an unfeeling mechanical automaton whose sole purpose was to spend his existence slogging for the company, and that he somehow failed in that regard. A little empathy wouldn't hurt.
I've a 27" iMac with a 5K display. I don't think I'd want anything larger as you're supposed to sit close to your display rather than have it at a distance, and if I ever need more screen real estate, I change the scaling factor in System Preferences.

Anyway, that was just to say that now I've gotten used to a HiDPI display with fantastic, accurate colour, I can't go back. I'm running a little low on funds and considered selling the iMac in favour of a 2018 Mac mini with a 24" 1080p display — can't do it.

I think a lot of people are spoilt by their Retina-display iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks; or their HiDPI Android phones and tablets. Now that I've been spoilt by a large Retina display, I'm ruined for anything else, even 4K at 43".
I can't look into your wallet but the price difference between 4K and 2K is now so small that for our new office I bought 4K screens for everybody. Skimping on tools that you use every day for 8 hours is tough on the system in the longer run.
For me it was efficiency of reading. It is proven that proportional, serif fonts read significantly faster (17%) [1] or [2] (6.1%). Also, in my opinion, scanning is much faster.

This makes sense: our eye uses the top and bottom of words to ‘key’ the word. Use proportional and you add information to this system.

That's the problem ain't it. Some exec higher up management is offered some delta money incentive, above their regular bonus to make this kind of stuff happen. Very likely they think having some extra money as bonus(due to cost savings) is more than ok, to buy that expensive home in Menlo Park- If it takes screwing a few hundred/thousand employees along the way.

Nobody ever does Judas work unless there are gold coins to receive in return for nailing the unsuspecting through their limbs.
> Curious. How do you line things up?

I don't! :-)

I spent many years lining things up. I would write code like this:

foobar(firstArg,
secondArg,
thirdArg);

(For the sake of discussion, assume that those arguments were too long to just put it all on one line, so you would naturally want to use multiple lines.)

Then when I realized that 'foobar' wasn't such a good name, I had to re-align all the code:

doTheRealThing(firstArg,
secondArg,
thirdArg);

At some point, maybe 20 years ago, I got really tired of this.

So I thought, "what if I just use indentation instead of trying to line things up in columns?" Which led to this:

foobar(
firstArg,
secondArg,
thirdArg
);

And when I renamed the function, I didn't have to move everything around any more:

doTheRealThing(
firstArg,
secondArg,
thirdArg
);

Instead of every line changing, only one line changed. [1]

After I adopted this style, I noticed that the code editor I was using at the time supported proportional fonts, so I got curious and tried one - I think it was Verdana.

And sure enough, the code was just as readable as it was before.

If you don't line things up in columns but instead just use indentation, then a proportional font works just as well as monospaced.

[1] Some will say "just ignore whitespace in your VCS diffs, and this won't be a problem." But I want to know about whitespace changes, just like I want to know about any other change.

When I was a remote worker I had in my office two 27 inch QHD screens and a 39 inch 4K screen in between them. This had the nice property that the pixel density was very close to the same, and so windows moving from one monitor to the other (on Windows or Mac) didn't change much. I didn't have a lot of success setting this up nicely on Linux. For me, it turned out that three monitors in landscape orientation was too far to turn my head -- I ended up either leaving the right or the left monitor essentially unused.

Where I work now, I have my laptop and a 34 inch 21:9 (1440p) curved screen. I was surprised to find the curved screen so agreeable, and only wish that it was somewhat larger and higher resolution. Might look at 21:9 (1600p) curved screens.
