not saying it's easy, and no, doesn't sound like a lot.

but it's possible, is my point - the difference on whether it is possible or not possible is the lifestyle one chooses to lead with it.

I recall reading a while back that there is in fact a "too much emotion" school of thought on autism. The idea is that the autistic learn to totally deaden their emotions as a defense mechanism because the alternative is too intense and painful. Maybe it's the neurological opposite of psychopathy?
It would be rational if you knew the outcome, not before. It is a one way move unless you write under a pseudonym.
You're looking for the 'air mass flow' specification. For the Trent XWB in the article it's just shy of 1500kg/sec.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Trent_XWB

Keep in mind that the bulk of that mass does not go through the turbine engine itself (aka the core), it's moved by the large fan that's visible at the front of the cowling. The ratio of that vs what goes through the core to support combustion is called the bypass ratio...which will vary somewhat widely based on application. Lots of great info in the Wikipedia article.

I believe so. It has all of the criteria of one.

I’m always impressed by the striking quality of designs from the early Soviet Union. It’s such a dramatic improvement over any of the other games that were shown, and not made all that much later.
Um, no.

It’s never OK to be a jerk.

But that doesn’t mean jerks have nothing of value to add to the world. No human being is perfect. If we disregarded the successes and breakthroughs of anyone who did anything bad in their lives we’d still be living in the Stone Age.

It is hard to find anyone who talks about stocks in public that outperforms a dart at picking stocks.

The basis for that is the "efficient market hypothesis" which is not 100% true but is fairly close: stock prices already incorporate the judgements of many people who are trying the best they can -- thus you can go bankrupt trying to fight the ticker.

There are people who pay off doctors, nurses, etc. at hospitals that do clinical trials and they know something you don't know but if they said anything about it in public they would go to jail.

I find the Motley Fool's style particularly annoying because they always hem and haw which makes it sound like they are thinking it over carefully but in reality they didn't take a stand at all.
Show HN: AWS Cost Monitoring Tool in Slack
Apple ID is garbage, and I've been unable to reset my security questions due to Apple "not having sufficient information". Even calling Apple and having the agent try to reset the questions using a PIN did not work.

They escalated the ticket to some user department, where it promptly went nowhere. This was in October. When first dealing with this, I spent an hour on the phone with Apple. Clicking on my support ticket URL gives me the option to call them, but no way to email them back to inquire. It's a giant waste of time since Tier 1 agents go by script and cannot deviate without contacting a supervisor (whom I spoke to before).

So I guess I'm locked out of the system forever using my email address.
To be honest everything on that list sounds good to me as each was decently implemented.

At that level you are much more engineering than throwing stuff over the wall and running away.

I wish the system I inherited was structured that way!.

I got the code.

No comments, no tests, no test environment, no documentation, no history and the code is hilarious.

At that point your job is archaeology not engineering.
That is really helpful - Thx
I did it by violating company rules, proving that I was more effective at home, and then forcing them to either fire me or let me work remote. I had worked there for several years, and the rules were really stupid (nobody leaves until everyone is done with their work, and I had been there for 10 hours or so and had family obligations), so I wasn't really worried about explaining that to a future employer.

I don't recommend going that route, but I _really_ wanted to work from home and was ready to quit if I didn't get it. I had requested a trial period of working from home two days a week and didn't even get one day. I brought it up every few months, but no progress was made, so I stopped caring about their stupid rules and did what I had to in order to focus on my work (I even moved my computer to an abandoned room at the opposite side of the room to prove I was more productive away from distractions).

My boss has a weird phobia of people working remote despite everyone who does work remote getting more done than those who work in the office. It's weird, and your boss is probably not as bad as mine in this regard.

Honestly, I recommend asking your boss to give you a trial of working from home for 2 days/week and prove that you're able to get more done. Once that's done, push for more days until you're only coming in for meetings, and then start pushing for whatever other pieces you'll need to go fully remote (virtual meetings, move conversations to a digital format, etc). Even if they say no, they'll recognize your initiative if you keep the dialogue about you giving more value to the company.

Architectural movements such as Brutalism are already making their way into web design - not in a good way, imho.

They’re distractions.

Web-design in my view should follow Swiss layout and typography which is widely considered to be the most objective, neutral, clear and universal theory of graphic design. Some parts of Swiss layout already permeate in everything we do - Grid system(Brockmann et al) for example. Or Helvetica and Univers in typography (Frutiger et al).

Everything else is decoration. Obviously, if you build a website for a music band, then all bets are off. My view is about common web design.
And this is how you lose touch and get trapped in an echo chamber, another thing current social media are great at.

Unfortunately, most vocal are people with too much free time and not much else to do, or wannabe political activists. And of course tools, trolls and provocateurs.

except that developing for ARM SBC's natively is normal these days. Even the lowly Raspberry Pi encourages you to plug-in an HDMI monitor, a USB mouse and keyboard, and boot into Raspbian, where things like Wiring-Pi further extend your cross-development reach (LOL), while you develop the code for your peripheral directly on the computer that's going to run it.
It's a bit of a Matryushka doll in that I have both Propeller chip and FPGA "Hat's" for my Pi and use both propeller IDE and the Icestorm toolchain to natively cross-develop for ACTUALLY embedded devices, as the ARM device is the main computer already and not the embedded device anymore lol
Much hyped "disruptive deep machine-learning smart AI" used for, i.e. fraud detection work the same way: by finding features commonly used by fraudsters and discriminating everyone having the same features (i.e. user agent, time of purchase, items purchased, even name on card).

Old-school non-computerized discrimination (i.e. racism) work exactly the same way.
It’s statistically always a bad idea to try to buy individual stocks or actively managed mutual funds. Most professional stock pickers including mutual fund managers don’t beat the market. Just put money in an index fund or index ETF.

Sensitive Data Exposure Happens Mostly via Emails at Work, New Study Reveals
It's common for those more 'high-functioning' - i.e. more able to 'mask' in society - to not receive a diagnosis until much later in life. Anthony Hopkins was not diagnosed til late in his life [1].

I mentioned it already elsewhere in this thread, but if you want to explore things further it may be worth taking the RAADS-R [2]. While the test itself, and self diagnosis in general, is in no way comprehensive, it may help, and can be the first step towards a diagnosis.

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned already, but one thing I've found mentioned again and again in various meditation forums as an aid for people struggling with difficult feelings brought up by meditation is "metta" meditation, which translates roughly to "loving-kindness". Through one way or another (often repeated mantras are used), the meditation aims to generate feelings of love and goodwill towards both the meditator and towards others. This compassion can then be called on if difficult feelings arise (and my understanding is they often do at some point).

My understanding is that insight meditation practices in particular, like Vipassana mentioned in the article, are especially likely to bring up difficult feelings. But if one has some sort of "safe container" they can put those feelings within, then they have the opportunity to integrate the experience, and they can grow from that. It's much like being able to recount a traumatic experience in a setting where you feel safe and listened to; it can allow for real healing. But there _needs_ to be some safe context for the pain to be felt. I feel like I read a lot of stories about people trying to dig up as much "insight" as they can, but without giving thought to how they might be able to integrate them (both with meditation and also psychedelics).

For anyone interested in this stuff, I've found Radical Self Acceptance by Tara Brach to be a really great source of both guided metta meditations as well as discussions about balancing "Seeing"/"Insight" and having the safe emotional container for experiences. I would also highly recommend The Mind Illuminated, mentioned elsewhere in this thread, as a great general textbook on meditation, which also gives special attention to uncovering Insight in a way that can be safely integrated.
This isn't following the latest Material spec. For example, see the text inputs; they went away with the underlined fields style (for some good reasons). I'd love to see that updated, then I might consider using it.
Except...

1. OS/X is Unix[tm] and linux is a "Unix clone" so the operating system works the same and (for purposes of this debate) both run on the X86 ISA.

2. The first thing all the macbook developers do is install Homebrew or equivalent and install all the same packages that are installed in their linux deployment environment.

At that point, their OS/X development environment is effectively indistinguishable from their linux deployment environment.
Change nothing. You are living the good life.
The Age Of Linus ended last year. I am not taking him seriously after the sjw debacle.

He refused to switch to gpl3 back in the day because 'it would be impossible to contact all contributors and get their permission' but last year he suddenly didn't need the same.
I am in the mindset that arm servers are the future. I have already some sites on arm. The issues with IME give a bad image of Intel. Monopolys are never good... But when Linus says:
"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"."

It matches my mindset. I am also looking for the good arm laptop. I do not need anything fancy: 4GB of ram (or better), 64GB SSD, wifi, bluetooth, usb (3 if possible), audio jack, good screen, usable keyboard, good touchpad.
Tom Sachs does have a reputation for being a dictator, but that attitude has led to fascinating work that can't be put together without the close collaboration of a big team (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm3M9v3vS0I). Remember, it's typical for famous artists to work with assistants who are not credited (e.g. Damien Hirst's spot painters https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-news/9010657/Dam...). Sach's team is front and center in a lot of his work.

I confess I have his ten bullets on my wall because I think it helps me be a good contributor to my team. I think you can boil it down even further to Brancusi's 3 bullets: "create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave".

Pretty common in general. I recently saw a lawyer provide a template independent contractor agreement which had such a provision in the boilerplate, entirely unrelated to Google or any other huge company.

I agree it's shady, but I suspect it's there so that they don't have to specifically negotiate to add it when a special-case deal is agreed to. (They may say they don't negotiate, but there are exceptions at any company.)

They can't seriously expect their standard form agreement to stay NDA-confidential when they've had 6 to 8 figures of people sign versions of it, regardless of what the agreement requires. If there has ever been litigation over Google's legalese - even a dispute over whether forced arbitration applies - the copy in the court record is probably either public or unsealable upon request to the court.

(I'm a former Google employee, didn't have any role related to employee contract language, not a lawyer, certainly not speaking for them.)
New York doesn't want to be Silicon Valley, though.

New York is an Alpha++ world city. When New York looks to compete with other cities, it competes with other Alpha++ and Alpha+ cities. New York doesn't even think about SV. It thinks about London, Hong Kong, Paris, Tokyo, etc.
Yeah, I see now i misread that!
I don't understand your point. I worked remotely for ten years and there was constant banter in the slack (skype before that) channels. We would spend as much time socializing as we would if we were in the office. I won't make any assumptions about your work experience but I believe most of these criticisms tend to come from people that have never worked at a remote-first company. If anything, remote is slightly more effective since you can have watercooler chats and go back to them months later to remember what Steve said about his cool personal infrastructure projects. :)

What hardware do you use for development and for testing? Can you elaborate on your setup, ARM-wise?
I think so. That can be hard for smaller businesses to manage, but it should average out for a larger one. It might also mean the business can’t support you (afford to pay you a SF rate). So that is always a factor.
> going from 4:30-5PM until 6AM without food is not a huge deal

In a Vipassana retreat it's actually no food after noon, so that would be 12PM to 7AM iirc (haven't done a 10-day retreat in many years).

And it isn't a huge deal as you'll likely have other things on your "plate", such as a heaping portion of pain in the X (where X is your knees, back, buttocks, etc.) to keep you full :)
They really like to do the BP oil spill apology approach, it's getting old though. You can only continuously say sorry so many times before people get sick of hearing it.
> Given the alternative would be working while being sedentary

I would say the alternative is to not work 18 hours a day, but obviously that is his choice.

> I'm assuming he doesn't take the laptop like that when we he wants to walk to the shops at the weekend.

I wouldn't put my bet on that. He has said in the past that he uses his weekends to grid down his e-mail backlog. Rather, his graphs in past posts show him not talking on the phone on weekends, but still pretty constantly emailing.
Interesting read, although the author in the gates to include in your reference from mainstream media sources such as CNN or MSNBC, stating that "In this paper, I investigated the concept of fake news and proposed to analyse it as Frankfurtian bullshit asserted in the form of a news publication".

While it's clear that the author did "investigate", and wrote a quite detailed explanation of four cases to support his argument, an examination of liberal media sources, not just conservative and parody sources, as an extreme example of Frankfort in b* would have provided deeper meaning into the examples given.

Still a good read though.
Yeah, like the "delete your account" option. It's hard to find (disabling is easy to find, but also completely reversible, so useless), and I'm sure it doesn't actually delete anything, but it made me feel better than just leaving my Facebook account active/disabled. I didn't have much of value there anyway.

I would love more transparency here, but we're not getting that without government intervention, and that's unlikely to come anytime soon (and what gets passed may be worse than the current situation).
> is still a half-locked platform... but that is still not a standards body

Exactly. That's why I always stress the importance of the IETF. The whole point of the IETF is that you cooperate with people, deal with opposite opinions, accept criticism, come to agreement, develop a compromise and produce a high quality absurdly documented standard. In Matrix bubble (and any others, see cryptocurrency or p2p community for example) they are the only one who makes the decision. They don't care on other opinions. If you disagree with them you're asked to stop "fighting", "focus on interaction", "understand their goals" and other meaningless stuff like "let the best standard wins" (when in reality the whole point of the standard is to cooperate). Formally speaking they try to substitute a "standard document" with an "open document" and people kinda swallow this because they don't see the difference.
Its like the sports-prediction con. Send a letter to 1024 people predicting the next Yankees game. Half, you say they'll win, half you say they'll lose. The game happens, send another letter to the half you 'predicted' correctly, predicting the next game the same way.

After 6 games you have 16 people who've seen you 'predict correctly' 6 times in a row. Offer the next letter to them for $500 bucks.

So, enough stock-prediction monkeys making enough predictions, you're bound to find somebody who's 'predicted correctly'. They'll want you to pay for their next coin-flip.
Around 1996 was the hayday of Artificial Life and Complex Adaptive Systems research and (agent-based) computer simulation of living systems, including ecological, social and economical, was a very common topic in popular science publications.
Wow that is quiet useful. Thank you
you definately sound informed on this case for sure and i'm certainly not

but it seems like there are 2/3 threads being comingled in the case:

a) illegality of marijuana itself
b) interstate commerce-related issues pertaining to private growth

the 'b' parts you mention definately seem like flawed, unconstitutional reasoning (e.g. expanding the definition of commercial and therefore regulated to include things that actually arent)

as for 'a' - "And when state legalizes it, all that means is that they're repealing state laws making it illegal."

this can't be true true - otherwise there would be no regulation/taxes on dispensaries, etc. in legalization states, which there certainly is..

so it's not like there is a federal law and a 'blank' at the state.. there are contradicting state laws treating it as legal, and federal ones which say it is illegal..
As the manager of a half remote team at a company that supports it, but isn't 100% remote...

To me, it comes down to a couple of things.

- Have you proven you are a good remote communicator (eg: if you're always doing private messages in Slack or don't communicate much at all, so everything that you do is only in your head, you might not be a good fit)

- Do you have plans to have a proper work area once you're remote. If you're going to be working from the middle of the living room with your significant other interrupting you to do the dishes or the kids screaming during video conference....NOPE. You need a plan.

- Your reasons for going remote won't interfere with productivity. It's totally ok if you're doing it for work life balance and take better care of your family. However if you're going to do strictly 9-5 (which is ok!) and be out half of the day on top of it (no longer ok) to take care of the kids and be constantly cancelling meetings and other obligation, then you just won't be meeting expectations anymore.

If you meet those criterias, it's a no brainer for me. I personally much prefer face to face interaction, but Ill fully support anyone who's serious about working remotely in my team. But they have to be serious about it.
Is there any reason other than personal knowledge to get diagnosed on the spectrum? I woulnd't at all the surprised if if I landed somewhere on it, but even if there was a (drug) treatment I don't think I would want to take it, I more or less like the way I am.
