Comparing sub-zero temperatures to liquid nitrogen temperatures doesn't quite do justice to liquid nitrogen. Imagine how hot boiling water is, and how cold ice is. Think of the temperature difference between the two. Now, take a step of that same size, colder than ice. Now, take a second step. That's how cold liquid nitrogen is. Liquid nitrogen will be at -196 degrees Celsius. Even Antartica, at the coldest temperature ever recorded, only got down to -89, still nowhere close to LN2.

The problem with the liquid nitrogen enhanced drinks is when people drink them before the LN2 has evaporated. You then have that -196 degree liquid in your stomach, and that's what freezes sections of it. Safety regulations require that the bartender not give you your drink until all the LN2 has evaporated.

I used LN2 to cool gamma-ray detectors for a while, and it is really fun stuff. Like driving a car or cooking raw meat, you just need to know what the dangers are and how to avoid them.

Would you consider doing this for sony cameras? Shit, open a kickstarter for it and you'll get funded in a few days if the word gets out.

There were some initial promising efforts to build the equivalent of Magic Lantern for sony alpha cameras, but it seems to have quietly died.
No, they were discussing cutting the number of promotions. If say, the top 10% of people got promotions and now only the top 8% did, no one person can easily notice that they would've gotten promoted but now didn't.
The the overwhelming success of Docker (released 2013) over LXC (released 2008) is a great counterpoint to your theory that "we've just come full circle and have learned nothing".

Clearly we have, and clearly Docker solved a use case that LXC was in no way solving. So no, we are not "back to LXC", we are two generations ahead of LXC.
It is an explicit goal of the Greenplum team to merge up to the PostgreSQL mainline. It is a heroic effort to apply tens of thousands of patches, consolidate them with heavily forked and modified subsystems, while maintaining reliability and performance.

The biggest hurdle was that after 8.2, the on-disk storage format changed. The traditional way you upgrade PostgreSQL is to dump the data and re-import it.

This is basically a non-starter with MPP, for the simple reason that there is just too much data. Given the available engineering bandwidth, Greenplum for a long time didn't try to cross that bridge. When the decision was made to merge up to mainline, coming up with a safe format migration was the major obstacle.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, the main contributor to Greenplum, though in a different group.
According to their website you need either a US checking account or debit card, so for all intents and purposes, yes.

If you're in (certain parts of) Europe, Revolut will offer you one-time use virtual debit cards if you're on one of their paid plans. However, I have no personal experience with them. Being limited to one transaction each makes them a lot less interesting in my opinion, since I can't set up my subscriptions through different cards.

Most comparisons points out the major differences, rather than all the ways they are the same.

As you can see from bullet point #5 from the fossil home page, it works offline:

> CGI/SCGI Enabled - No server is required, but if you want to set one up, Fossil supports four easy server configurations.

and #6 concerns later online merging:

> Autosync - Fossil supports "autosync" mode which helps to keep projects moving forward by reducing the amount of needless forking and merging often associated with distributed projects.

There's also the quick start guide with an overview of distributed-ness - https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/quickstart.wiki .
>There is a saying, that if an Indian becomes a manager, soon all his department becomes Indians, which really stands out among all other races.

That's nonsense. Indians aren't one race. Indians are multiracial themselves. There are dark-skinned Indians that are mistaken for African American, and there are light skinned Indians that are mistaken for Italian Americans. The states of India are like countries of Europe in that each state has its own language: Gujarathi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali etc.
Why Are Young People Pretending to Love Work?
I have also never gotten a “promotion” in over 20 years and only twice have I gotten a meaningful raise and they were both around $10K and that was early in my career.

I stayed at one company for 9 years and made only $7K more in year 9 than I made in year 2. I stuck around mostly because of side businesses that I was hoping would turn into full time businesses.

But I did learn my lesson. A company has exactly two years to at least get me to local market value.

Now being on the other side of the bell curve, after working for 5 companies over the last 10 years, I either have to settle with just cost of living raises or move into an area that I am qualified for but doesn’t really excite me - consulting (“digital transformation consultant”, “cloud consulting”, etc.)
Interestingly enough, HN is listed as "impossible".
I don’t really understand what this means. The parent specifically writes “backwards compatibility.” The only other thing I think you might be referring to is if the reading process mutates the objects does that somehow affect the writing end of the pipe but I think that doesn’t make sense from a “sane way of doing inter-process communication” standpoint. Is there something else you are referring to? Could you elaborate please?
> You appear to have no desire to build a more equitable work experience for everyone.

Correct. I do not want to work at a place where no matter how much I invest in improving myself (learning a new coding technic in my free time rather than going to a movie) I will earn the same (or similar) to that of the cleaners.

> Presumably you also don't mind that your elitism assumes a lot of upside benefit for a few and a lot of downside consequences for most.

Me upgrading my TV to a 50' does not make your 20' TV worse.

I have a lot of empathy. I give more than minimum wage in charitable donations.

> Let me put it to you that you're wrong: you would actually do better long term fighting to get better pay across the board and incentives for high achievers actually do better long term (as in vesting) when everyone wins.

Why?
It comes full circle: computers used to be the size of a building, and now what we call data centers are again the sizes of buildings (and in many cases can be considered a large distributed computer).

I would recommend this course: https://mlcourse.ai/. It starts on February 11.

PROS

- It has a good balance between theory and practice.

- There are lectures covering the theory and practice.

- There are practical assignments you need to code with
Python.

- It includes in-class Kaggle competitions.

- It includes a rating system so you can compare your progress with other students.

CONS

- It has some prerequisites. You need to know Python(at a basic level) and some basic knowledge of math(calculus, linear algebra, etc).

- It is a difficult course. You will need between 5 to 10 hours each week for assignments. Each week is usually harder than the previous one.

You can find more details in this post:

Does it cross the threshold of originality? It is just 3d line chart. Any it hardly matters what data is actually plotted, so I assume they used something random.
You also have to ask the question if the "distributed" functionality is really necessary. Even if companies use git or mercurial or whatever, most have a central repository anyway. They basically offer no extra value over Subversion on that specific (but most prominent) feature in practice.
Exactly. I think chargebacks are a feedback loop, especially because we have percentages to compare to other businesses. And as the article stated, Facebook’s was 10x the norm.

This was not “friendly fraud.” This was straight up fraud, with clear intention by Facebook employees to defraud parents by using children in a disgusting way as their pawns.

You can dispute CC charges in Europe as well. All of my cards specify that I should do this as soon as possible, but no later than one year after the charge.

I have never needed a chargeback, but I had a peek at MasterCard's policy just now and it looks like you need to contact the issuing bank. I would assume it works the same for other four-party schemes such as Visa.
In a few ways, the hurdles you outline are a helpful filter management skills. Presenting and promoting your team's work will become just as important as doing the work. Providing context for failures, which could be seen as covering up, is critical. If you are too busy working to prepare an important presentation, you are not ready to be a manager.

Even if the promotion keeps you at an IC, your responsibilities are still increasing, so I think most of those points stand.

I have Adblock Origin and don't see any ads on YouTube. I wanted to pay for Youtube Premium but 12/month is a bit excessive for offline viewing (which is the only part of YT I use) (and even if I wanted to see their premium content, it's way more expensive than Netflix).
Is DCVS not just a typo of DVCS, ie Distributed Version Control System, of which git is one?
Yes you can but that has nothing to do with what I asked.
Cultural value is as important as technical advancement, at least in the long run. I think you could agree with me.

True but, EG, resurrecting the old 360KB 5.25-inch floppies tech used on the '80s era IBM PCs is probably not worth revisiting.
I've seen it go both ways. Definitely agreed that it's a human process and it can be gamed a bit. There are (or had been in the past) some checks on that with secondary committees that re-reviewed primary committee results (not just appeals of negative cases). I think the removal of those checks and move to org based promos has allowed more of what you described to take place in unfortunately.
I'm afraid I must disagree. There's no evidence to suggest that the bond between a child and its biological parents is in any way important. Further, it is unlikely that its biological parents are experts on raising children and are thus likely to raise it suboptimally, leading to a poorer quality of life in its future.

Therefore, it is more selfish to raise your child yourself than to have an expert to do it for you.

I shouldn't have to disclaim this by argument by saying that I'm not making a serious recommendation to anyone, but because parents are so defensive and irrational when it comes to how they raise their children, I feel that I must. I don't have kids and don't plan on having kids, so this is merely an intellectual exercise for me.
Is there any similar themed advice for managing same-seniority coworkers handballing their responsibilities?

Yeah. I've been with Google 8+ years. Got promoted once, 3 years ago. Then in two consecutive years, on two different teams, I had a manager leave me, and ended up reporting to a sub-optimal manager that I didn't choose to report to. That meant zero career progress for that time period.

Now I am 6 months into another team. I have a good manager on a good team who is unlikely to leave, and I'm on track to get promoted again.
Social VR Is the Weird Future of Social Media
The idea that they call distributing hardware that locks people to their ecosystems is a "donation" is also comical. Giving a school a bunch of Chromebooks is a way to expand your services business, not an act of generosity. It's like giving away a free printer: The money is in the ink.
I disagree. Chargebacks are a feedback loop. If you’re taking care of your customers and being transparent about how much and when you charge them, surprise, you won’t have bad chargebacks rates.

If you try to blur that grey area and tilt towards deception (“maybe if we don’t tell them when it auto-renews, our churn will decrease”) then you deserve every single chargeback you get.

It would be nice if in the first case one could annotate those thirty commits in a narrative "here I started another attempt", "this solution could not work for X,Y and Z reasons", "these 8 commits are just typos" maybe with also the ability to only select a subset of a commit.
Can you explain that, surely fraud requires you to gain something by deception; stopping paying for a service you are no longer using is neither acquisition nor deception.
As other commenters have noted, it was an installation subsidy. Installation is a major cost of solar, other than just the cells themselves. That made it cheaper to move inventory out of the warehouse and into the field. With the subsidy gone, the inventory piles up in the warehouse and manufacturers get desparate to sell. So they drop their prices, but it's still more expensive to bring those panels online than it was when the subsidy was in force.

It's possible that the price will keep dropping until the panels are cheap enough to move at their current production capacity. But it's also possible that the lost profits make this level of production unsustainable, and solar panel costs climb back up as manufacturers shut down their no longer profitable lines and supply drops. It depends partly on what their margins are now, and what cost reduction room they have.
Contracts can be voided if they show serious vices the person signing was not aware of. Moreover, afaik. contracts are not above law and constitution, so if they violate individual rights they can also be voided.

I see both sides here, but maybe this is where merchants need to enact stricter rules.

Like services that will gladly let you signup online but then require you call a phone number, with very long wait times and only during certain hours, to cancel. And then be harassed about a cheaper offer while you try to cancel.

I have been a merchant and dealt with erroneous chargebacks, but I have zero sympathy for companies that know exactly what they’re doing — trying to fatigue or confuse the customer into not canceling.

So are we back to having dozens of facebook spam every day? Can't believe a nearly 2 day old facebook spam story is still on the frontpage.

Facebook is a private company. It will do its best for its shareholders.

And as best as I can tell, what this german minister of "justice" and a segment of the politcal and business elites are complaining about is that they don't get to control facebook. These authoritarians want to control what people read, what people say and how they think. No different than saudis or the chinese or the russians complaining about facebook.

If you don't like facebook, stop using it. If germans don't like facebook, create a german version of facebook. Frankly, the germans should be more worried about the nazi/stasi-esque german intranational spying. It's strange how the people complaining the most about facebook and its privacy violations/spying are also the leaders in spying on its own citizens. I doubt even china spies on its own citizens as much as the british and the germans do.
Alex Zanardi Takes the Wheel in a New Way
Are you pushing the commits with errors? Are you merging the commits with errors? If both of those are true then this sounds like a process issue.

Git makes it extremely easy to edit history, with the ability to amend any commit; even several commits back with simple CLI tools like `git rebase -i <ref>`.

However, what it doesn't like you doing is ripping the rug out from other people i.e. editing history team members are basing their work on.

The entire purposes of distributed version control is that development should always happen on a branch. Whether that's a local branch, or some temporary pushed branch (pull/merge request branch etc.) In both cases you can safely rewrite history.

However, `master` (or whatever mainline branches you have) should never contain simple mistakes (e.g. non-compiling code), because the code should have been reviewed before being merged. Of course bugs (non-simple mistakes) will happen, and these ought to be fixed in future commits. Bugs that make it into pre-release or release builds (i.e. `master`) shouldn't be edited out of history or forgotten.
You clearly fail to understand the statistical differences in health and safety between those countries if you think they’re comparable to the gulf that exists between Canada and the United States.
But I already do this and that doesn't answer the question about the difference between fastCGI and what everyone else seems to be using, but not explaining, is a method of direct integration or ability to talk with the server without CGI/fastCGI.

After doing a little research, it appears this can be done by implementing or writing modules that will talk directly to server internals if I'm understanding this correctly.
Perhaps you shouldn't allow handover of such responsibility or tasks. Force Person A to own task but allow Person B to assist Person A. Surely Person A won't mind help Frontera on B.

I think as long as people are having fun with them, the hardware already served a good purpose. Even if the LED blinking is implemented by running Linux.

But in my opinion, people who are interested in these popular embedded boards should also learn about the basis of electronics, or just be aware of its existence, and understand the things one could do without buying a premade "board", and that it's possible to blink an LED with a few transistors. Well, I think most will find out by themselves, it's just a matter of time and guidance.
A union is a bureaucratic process for that problem A much simpler solution is to donate directly to those coworkers. Rather than paying union fees and getting the company to direct more of your salary to lower paid employees, you can just give them how much you want to.

I guess it this must depend on the jurisdiction and the precise rights in question because in the US contracts regularly ask you to give up some of your rights and I'm pretty sure they're enforceable as such.
The headline is not apt, the piece is not really making a strong case "against" Chopin. There is a slight attempt to build up some illusion that Chopin was once not held in high esteem. Well, that is a very weak argument indeed, as he was a child prodigy touring Europe in his teenage years, and then subsequently was very well known to the other famous romantic composers, most of whom thought he was a true genius of melody, finesse, and a master of chromaticism and narrative piano writing. Look no farther than Liszt's storied relationship with Chopin, they played together at salons and gatherings, they played each others works. Similarly, the Schumanns loved Chopin's work. He achieved a very high fee for teaching as well, there were numerous very wealthy Parisians eager to have training with him. Furthermore, there was and is a very, VERY strong tradition of classical pianists playing his works. Consider Debussy's performance of the fourth ballade at his conservatory, when it was stated he performed it as if "without hammers". So, no, there is no case against Chopin's mastery, this headline is click-bait.

The linked article is really a pseudo-book review of the recent biography "Fryderyk Chopin: A Life and Times" by Alan Walker.
How do you estimate Fossil's general popularity?

Most projects are invisible to you, like in-house projects that never see the light of day. If Fossil is used by 1% of those projects, that's still a lot of projects.

How can you tell if Fossil is popular in HN? By my reading, only two people in this thread use it. More than that mention having never heard of it before, or make statements where it's clear they don't really understand what it is.

people hate facebook because trump won and brexit passed and they hate that the people didn’t listen to the elites.
And yes, it probably does depress salaries for the people on the top of the curve. But they are also often not the highest performers either, but the people best at marketing themselves. Sometimes the two intersect, but often it does not.

I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. I’m nowhere near the west coast, but I can definitely tell you that the stagnation of my salary during the first decade of my career and the rapid rise during the second decade is much more attributable to the increase in my emotional intelligence, knowing how to play the game, and knowing how to get to know the right people and networking.
Try leaving the Apple bubble. Windows 95 had completely tunable color schemes and fonts. Even Windows 3 was highly configurable. That configurability went away with the rise of the web and the death of native GUIs, to the point that Microsoft didn't even bother making the native toolkit configurable at all in Aero.

We could tune up our own universally applied dark mode in 95 quite simply, but now each application has to implement that itself.
