Yes, but so far, they only had to remove it, when they got a complaint. Now they bear the full liability for the copyright violation. So it is the same game as with file sharing: value of the material times the number of downloads, so we are easily talking about claims in the range of millions.
Proxy Management: Build In-House or Use a Off-the-Shelf Proxy Solution
So you run a Linux VM, just as lots of Mac-using developers do today. But the instruction set of the VM has to match the instruction set of the host, unless you’re in the mood for slow emulation.
Hah, this is amazing! This reminds me of how I used to (and still do, sometimes) read third-party code.

For an OS class in college, we had to modify fork (and re-build the kernel) to track how many times a particular process had been forked (and probably some other statistics I'm forgetting at the moment).

I remember going through a very similar process for the first time - injecting white space below chunks of code, writing out my own comments, and then using that to figure out how to modify fork. Looking at the author's fork.c comments gave me a feeling of nostalgia.

The useful part of course is going through yourself and writing your own comments, but it can be really helpful to start with something like this (and then write your own version of the comments).
I absolutely love the idea of OpenSCAD, but it's speed is extremely painful, even for things that are geometric. As soon as you start trying to make something more organic it crawls.
Build Your Own ‘Medicare for All’ Plan. Beware: There Are Tough Choices
Not limiting the number of high-paying tech jobs in the Bay Area has been terrible for blue collar workers who don't own any land. People have been driven from their (former) homes by higher paid tech workers.

I think it's easy to understand why people in Queens would fight against a similar fate.
To add to this -- even when it was a secret, they were still protesting the idea of providing those incentives.
If you've met one person on the spectrum, you've met one person on the spectrum. The range of non-neurotypicality is extremely broad and highly individualized.

To give a quick analogy: most people have output filters to prevent them from saying things that other people will consider to be abrupt, rude, or irrelevant. Most spectrum people have input filters instead, developed to keep them from being hurt by the world. When an input-filter person talks to an output-filter person, the speaker might sound overbearing, arrogant, or impolite. When an output-filter person talks to an input-filter person, they might sound smarmy and unwilling to convey essential information.

Or... they might not. Endless variations exist, and some people on the spectrum have learned to emulate output-filters, make subtler points and ask clarifying questions. All of this takes a lot of processing time which has to be done in emulation mode rather than having native subroutines, so when brain resources are scarce -- say, when under stress -- they get less priority.

And that's just one aspect of the spectrum. The reporter managed to get one really good quote in:

“People with my type of disorder, it’s not that we don’t have emotion,” Gadson said. “It’s that we have too much emotion. We can’t push that stuff back.”

If you take away one thing from this article, that's the right one.
Hi, guys!

I would like to share with you a product that helps me stay focused during computer work.

It calls Black Screen (BS): http://blackscreen1.com

Press a key combination - BS makes the screen black. Press the keys again and return back to the normal screen. It allows to reset attention the same way as eye blinking does it for the brain.

I set it up to make my screen black for 7 minutes after 30 minutes of work. It allows me not to sit too much in front of the computer and take a break after every 30 minutes of work.

BS allows to reset attention. After making screen black, you can press a button to see a beautiful random photo.

Would you use this thing? Write your answer and any other thoughts in the comments!

Thank you! :-)

This author desperately needs to read Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer. It completely explains this phenomenon of secular dogmatism (and more) in fewer words.

Incidentally, another variety of secular dogmatic is the person who thinks science is equivalent to truth.

Hoffer: “The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a God or not. The atheist is a religious person. He believes in atheism as though it were a new religion”

Yeah. BLM keeps picking the wrong hill to die on with respect to the specific examples of police brutality they try and protest but the core message of "police need to stop being so trigger happy" is hard to disagree with.
Paperkast – A Link-Aggregator for Academic Papers
It isn't just the keyboard which PCs hold as an advantage, it's the mouse as well. There are a lot of tasks that workers do on PCs with a mouse that can't be done reliably with a touchscreen.

Maybe an iPad Pro with its stylus could perform a lot of those mouse-driven tasks, but using the stylus for long periods of time is going to be exhausting and injury-prone. By using a mouse your arm can rest comfortably and allow you to work for long periods of time with minimal effort and no strain.
Most companies who are trying to 'improve' recruitment are coming from outside the industry and are tackling it with an engineering mindset. It's an easy trap to fall into, as it seems like a simple two sided marketplace, however that is not the case.
It needs to be approached more like legal tech, with experienced recruitment professionals working alongside engineers. The complexities, nuances and psychological factors need to be understood. There's a reason recruiters are so expensive after all.
All the companies you have mentioned above just quickly built a simple marketplace and then advertised them like crazy to gain users, they never actually solved the inherent problems within recruiting.

> Developers are using cheap Raspberry PIs as local desktop development platforms.

IMHO this is still a problem, it is easy to get RPi-style devices but for development a more powerful device would be great, however this is much harder to get. Sure, cross-compilation works but is usually tedious to setup and work with.

I've had the chance to work on one of these powerful ARM servers for some time. I was connected via ssh and mostly working with tmux+vim, I could compile natively with all these available cores and memory - development was a breeze.

Nevertheless there were some pain points compared to x86: Often no ARM64 binary packages, except for the packages provided by the distro. No precompiled binaries. Software wasn't working/building e.g. because Fedora on ARM64 uses 64K page size. perf didn't support as many performance counters as on x86. Sometimes I would've really liked to use rr (the reverse debugger) but it only supports x86. Pretty sure I've encountered more pain points that I don't remember and also I think I didn't discover all of them.

Development is almost exclusively done on x86. So it is only natural that x86 is the most tested and optimized architecture. This wouldn't be a problem if your offering would be much better/cheaper in some way and although I think ARM servers can compete in certain areas it doesn't seem to provide enough benefit to be worth the trouble. I agree with Linus that they should be focusing on developers and software and let the machines bubble up into the server segment.
Yep or you can create them on our platform as well and we'll create the correct record in QBO. We like to let you decide your workflow so both work :)

He’s a living meme of ignorance.
Last time I paid attention drop shadows were extremely expensive to render, and using too many of them would severely reduce the framerate when scrolling and animating elements. I stopped using them partly because of that, and partly because I find them garish anyway and I haven't found a situation where they improved usability more than just using slightly different colors for foreground and background. I know material design uses them to indicate z-level and to differentiate UI elements from content, I just don't think it's the only way to do so.

Containers are amazing. The only headache I've run across so far has been a dungeon of my own design--I have certain sites that are confined to my Shopping container (Amazon, PayPal, eBay, couple others). What's bitten me more than once is trying to purchase from a site where I forgot to re-open it in the Shopping container, get to checkout, try to pay via Amazon or Paypal, and have the payment fail because the login cookie is in a different container.

Here's how I do this: https://stephendotz.com/posts/pocket-dev/ Originally I set it up on my iPhone, but now I use my iPad Pro "13 w/ the keyboard cover and it's really pleasant.

Really really interesting work. I have so many questions. I wonder if the new letters change the molecular structure overall. Do these molecules bend and twist like vanilla DNA does? Will they wrap around histones? Can any of the new letters be methylated?

I’m also glad the article stressed the importance of polymerase. For the uninitiated, if this molecule cannot be replicated with polymerase, then it severely constrains its applicability. Most research labs do not synthesize their own DNA - they replicate it in cells or with PCR.
>Are there new proteins this lets them make?

I think for now we are still a ways off from this being interesting at the protein level. I would think you would need new tRNAs to recognize the new bases in-order to really utilize them at a protein level, and those tRNAs would need to bind to different amino acids than we currently have for there to be any new protein function that we can't already accomplish with ATCG.

That being said, you can still do a lot of interesting stuff with nucleic acids like DNA and RNA, more and more research these days show they can do more than just encode information for proteins.

Cultural Evolution of Music
I'll get down voted for this one but here goes....

One thing I've noticed of the social justice crowd is the ever shifting goal posts. Anyone to the right of you is an enabler of malicious ideas. Hardly ever are people criticized or ostracized for being to the left of you. There is a way to respectfully disagree but only when both parties actually respect each other. Labeling someone a nazi for voting for a right wing candidate results in the dehumanization of that person, thus removing any respect.

(Here is the part where im going to get down voted). I live somewhere EXTREMELY liberal and if I go any direction for 10min it gets EXTREMELY conservative. I see both sides daily. One thing I realized is the lack of masculine social norms on the left and feminine cultural influence on the right. The right seems to have a minimal respect for how things 'feel'. They won't care if you are offended and rarely try to buffer any tumultuous conversations. The left has minimal respect for authority leaving the louder individual as the person more likely to be heard And listened too. Lefties also embrace the idea that words can be violent and that if someone is allowed to say something entirely opposed to their beliefs then responding with physical violence is okay because that person was violent first. Its rarely an issue on when both parties are on the left because the capitulation to the louder individual in addition to the seemingly similar trajectory of thought patterns.

To create a more harmonious society the left needs to dig its feet in the ground and hold their position stronger against the more fringe radical members that would like elimination of ulterior ideas altogether in favor of a homogeneous and bland society. The right needs to listen to feminine influence more frequently to understand that sometimes the fear of violence can create a situation where violence otherwise would not occur.

This is hard to answer. Why are there 20 amino acids in proteins, someone might ask? Which came first? DNA, proteins, or was it RNA? Origins of life research tries to answer these questions, but I am not an expert of that field.
I don't think that in any way contradicts his position

>And the only way that changes is if you end up saying "look, you can deploy more cheaply on an ARM box, and here's the development box you can do your work on".

Sure, as soon as these merge and you have a development platform as productive as a desktop computer that allows you to natively build for ARM, then absolutely, it could displace x86. And maybe when (if) the two platforms really merge that could be a real possibility.

This assumes the higher-paying jobs would have gone to the district's representatives, instead of to out-of-town yuppies. I am open to being contracted on this, but my assumption is that Amazon's HQ2 would not have primarily created jobs for underserved Queens residents.

My own experience in NYC's tech scene is that a plurality of tech workers come from outside the city, and I am skeptical that their presence nevertheless "lifts all boats" via Seamless orders and bar tabs.

Hey, I am with you. We (my company) are a remote first company that trends to merit based pay with minor COL adjustments at most. We have bands for each role and generally stick with them. Still, the idea isn’t bad. You want people to afford a certain quality of life and operate the business effectively. If everyone is happy with the arrangement the business and its employees win. If the business is doing it for a profit motive it shows up in employee satisfaction.

I think it's less "move to the right" and more "admit you've already moved to the right".

Democrat attitudes feel increasingly puritan instead of actually liberal to me (as demonstrated by the continued insistence on everyone aligning to a specific moral framework), while Republican attitudes feel increasingly laissez-faire instead of actually conservative (as demonstrated by the continued insistence on destroying our environment instead of, you know, conserving it).

The reality is that the political spectrum is not one-dimensional, or even two-dimensional.

>>I also don't really understand why AOC is being scapegoated for this

Because she's being billed as a socialist boogieman by the media? She's extremely visible and vocal on the national stage that this whole HQ2 debacle has played out on. People in Seattle and DC don't know NYC's lower level politicians by name, and this is being billed as a national story because so many spurned cities and their populations have a viewing interest.

Had this been done differently, it would be a much smaller story covered by some segments of the tech media and local NYC publications with limited national coverage. In that reality, it likely would have been local community organizers and district pols being named in articles and scapegoated.
IMHO working hard (or sometimes just working smart) is a prerequisite for a startup to be great. But it's one of the things that matter less.

There are plenty of people working as hard as they can, that doesn't mean their starup will work out. They might be working on the wrong problem, they might have bad sales/virality, they might be doing a great product but too soon/late for the market, someone bigger might be fighting for the same market, they might just be unlucky.

Without the hard work there is no startup, for sure. But fetishizing it leads to the whole "you were not working enough/you didn't want it enough" toxic concept of people only getting what they deserve. Life is not fair, good people have bad things happen to them from time to time, bad people sometimes have good things happen to them, hard working people don't always succeed.
