Could you elaborate on what kind of troubles you have with the hosting? So far I host only an XMPP server but I would like to know what kind of trouble I have to expect if I wanted to host a Matrix server too.
This landing page (especially the code/data example) is the best example on why we need something like GDPR. "Look how easy it is, I'll just send your personal identifiable data everywhere at once!!"
Ha ha! I've sometimes joked that when you start a startup you have to decide who the "customer" is -- the person using the service or the VC. I've definitely worked at startups that were milking VCs. I don't really recommend it as a thing for technically minded people to do because you end up doing a lot of crazy stuff that has nothing to do with making a good product. But it definitely happens.

Graphical development environments like that are a nice idea, but tend to be somewhat limited and very domain specific.

Pythonista does come with a graphical UI builder, but it is still a very code intensive environment.
Doesn't strict serializability solve only part of the problem? If X finishes before Y starts, then X must come before Y in serial order. But if there is some overlap between X and Y in the first place, then again some serial order is picked (serializability already guarantees that), but strict serializability still does not define which of the two possible orders gets picked. So at least query-level replication would suffer from the same problems as before.
Thanks for the feedback Martin!

Gold has a far lower ionization energy than you are giving it credit for, which means it is capable of becoming toxic with relatively minor interactions. The safe for consumption statement implies interactions natural to human physiology are not likely to make gold toxic, but that doesn't account for other things humans consume that do trigger reactions not normal to human physiology.

Like gold we generally believe fruit juice is safe for consumption. Fruit juice is even classified as safe for consumption, like gold, by the FDA. This was proven to be not completely true when the price of grapefruit production fell in the 1980s. Certain chemical interactions with fruit juice will make you sick and in extreme cases will kill you. This phenomenon was only discovered because of numerous associated deaths.

This is interesting.

Wouldn't it be possible and transparent to the protocol to use PGP for end-to-end message encryption? If the recipient has a public key, the client can automatically use that and the recipient's client could automatically decrypt it.
RME user here with plenty of nice microphones and preamps to choose from.

It’s been years since I went through the trouble of setting one up for a conference call. These days I just use my Sony Bluetooth headphones. IIRC, the difficulty with most (not DAW or professional audio) software on Mac and any external audio interface, is that it doesn’t actually allow selecting which input to use, only the device. So while I might select “RME Fireface 802” in Chrome as the input device, I can’t select Input 1, 9, or 12 as the input channel to use for microphone. This used to be possible with apps like Soundflower, though, I’m not sure what the best solution is nowadays.

I am the manager of a decent sized R&D org in a company on the order of Yelp’s size and not only do I find this inexcusable on Yelp’s part, but where I work we would put the firing manager into a training/coaching program to sensitize him to the work life balance needs of his team. If he refused he would probably be removed as a manager and perhaps shown the door.

I work for large adtech company in France and out here oncall is paid (even if you’re not called) and we never intrude on personal time unless there is a major disaster, and even then there are almost always enough folks being paid to handle the oncall event to take care of things.

We do have R&D offices in the US and I don’t know the specifics of HR policy wrt oncall there, but everyone rolls up to the French HQ so I know it remains human-first.
There's also big economic incentive for many countries to just go to FOSS solutions for their needs. It alleviates the need for self-sufficient local private corporations or huge public programs. Nothing speaks louder to a politician than saving on their budget. Or making administration easier (which is likely to be incredibly important in a country with a bureaucracy as Byzantine as France).

Now that the big hacker/open source FUD is mostly done for, I think you'll see a lot more countries deploying FOSS tech as a matter of fact an not as an ideological statement or an avant-garde trial.

I've been running two matrix (synapse) instances for about 2 years and it's been pretty painless. My "personal" instance is hosted on a dedicated server running Ubuntu, and the package works just fine. The other one uses a slightly modified version of the code, and installing/updating it via pip is trivial. What part of the process did you find tedious ?
Have you read of Akatsuki, JAXA's Venus orbiter? It suffered a grievous propulsion failure in 2010 when a pressurant valve failed, causing its large main engine to run oxidizer-rich -- its nozzle thus shattered and fell off. It was therefore unable to enter Venus orbit in 2010.

However, JAXA engineers saved the spacecraft and salvaged the mission: after five years of orbiting the sun (beyond its expected lifetime), Akatsuki's far smaller attitude-control thrusters were lit up (for 20 minutes straight!), causing it to successfully enter Venusian orbit in 2015, and it's been functioning ever since.

It downplays/skips over the complexity costs from learning, configuring, debugging, deploying, testing, etc the big zoo of woven together cloud services. Ideally you'd also want some dev time and cognitive capacity left over to think about your domain problems...
Thanks Gyarados,
I haven't learnt anything about UX before, so I guess now is better than never!
I work in a French public lab, and the policy here (and in many if not most other public labs) is to produce FOSS based on our research. It has always been more or less a fact, but this is becoming an official policy, AFAIK: make it FOSS unless you have a good reason not to.

Regarding privacy: not my field of expertise, but France is far from paradise here, thanks to the terrorist attacks a few years ago.

Apple Warned iPhones Have a Serious Innovation Problem
The problem with the Java way, as I see it, is that it puts more of a burden on the programmer to the point where a majority simply won't do it. Getting programmers to document their code is an uphill battle to begin with. But the bureaucracy that Java(doc) imposes makes it even harder to win in all but the most elite institutions. What I see a lot, is IDE-generated documentation which can be automatically inferred from the code, and is therefore redundant. While it superficially looks like documentation, it really is just line noise. I would agree that Java documentation at its best can be better than Go documentation. But I suspect that the average Go codebase is better documented than the average Java codebase.
They're not, which is why the experimenters always had an experienced "sitter" watching and there was emphasis on (mind) "set and setting".

Just take look into EU countries and try to apply some of the same policies. They seem to have if not zero, less issues with high skilled workers.

Otherwise you can blame H1B holders forever. They didn't wrote the policy or the law. You shouldn't punish them for what they had no influence. They should be able to plan for their living. They should be encouraged to contribute and integrate with society.

I think it has, just not in the way the author intends here. This article was basically written on the cusp of the game modding scene really taking off online, followed by the indie game revolution of the early 2000's into what we see today as a glut of games being released. The popular computer modeling pastime is game development and exhibits much of what is talked about in the article.
Being employed is ultimately a human relationship, and hiring is about starting that relationship and ensuring it works for both parties. That means listening to and understanding the needs of both; and in the IT world, some of these needs are very much about tech. As obvious as it may sound, many recruitment agencies don't understand it. I'd even go so far as to say that recruiters who don't know shit about the tech that is fundamental to the jobs they recruit for are a sad norm.

Disclaimer: I work at works-hub.com. I don't want to make a sales pitch, but I'll just say I think we're an exception to that norm.

I like how Paulien Hogeweg phrased it too: "thinking in the most interesting simplification" [0]

I always thought the 'but models are wrong' is quite a weak excuse. Newtonian physics is a wrong model of how the universe works. Using it though; we put a man on the moon. Einsteinian physics are incomplete, but it allows us to use satellites moving at roughly 10KM/s to pinpoint our location to within a few metres.

A model's usefulness is not about how accurately it describes what is happening, but about whether it describes what happens at a certain meso-scale accurately.

But the cognitive revolution gave us abstract thinking that allowed us to create mathematics. Since then we can express anything in the mathematical form. It's almost impossible for us to imagine even a 4-D space, not speaking about the N-D space — but we can write the equations for it and solve them.

Italian Ruling-Party Lawmakers Push for Huawei Ban: Paper
Ask HN: Transforming Code into Audio with Navigation
Has there ever been any attempts to create a tool that transforms code into pleasant ambient music with some kind of interface for navigation? Preferrably voice. I'm thinking something like transforming keywords like def, if, else, and identifiers into infinite amount of sounds, all different, but recognizible as that identifier. It should be ever changing depending on context. The idea is that you could press play and it would do so indefinitely, music would always be good, adjustable for your mood, and you could listen to the code and actually understand it at a much better level than by reading.

It would create a new paradigm, where you design modules that are nice to read in textual form, and also ones that are very easy to understand in music form. Music is better for passive consumption, it requires less concentration.

I can't shake the feeling that this is possible to do with modern knowledge of ML and programming language design. Add some voice recognition, so that you could pace around your room, give commands to the computer and navigate your code with a birds eye.

Obvioulsy one to many mapping of indentifiers to sounds will not work. It should be more sophisticated. I know generally speaking computers are relatively bad at generating stuff, than at interpreting it. But still, there must be a way.

Things are still going strong for open source in France (despite de occasional setbacks) since France was rated in 2008 the no 1 country in the world in terms of open source adoption by Georgiatech:

It's not always about projects. In order to be productive at a company, there is much more to do. In water cooler conversations, you learn who you have to talk with for this or that, you learn about meetings you may attend to learn new things, you learn that little trick that makes your work more efficient or about that colleague who is really weird, or about how to solve administrative matters. Not everything is in a manual or in a web site.

To give a very appropriate example, I think that if I was working in the same office as Wolfram, I may learn about his cool setup in water cooler conversations. In fact, I think it would make me a better engineer having water cooler conversations with Stephen Wolfram. I am not sure I would get the same benefit from interacting with him through screen sharing or phone calls.

I work in research, surrounded by PhD students. These students learn from the interaction with more experienced people, and I have to admit I also learn many things from them. Remote working would in theory be possible for most of us, but it would not achieve the same result.
If anyone else was wondering, this specimen was released after being filmed and photographed.
It is problematic for readability reasons as long as you are making complex expressions:

configuration := NewConfiguration()
configuration[word] = parameters[values[line][column]] - parameters[values[column][line]]

vs

conf := NewConfig()
conf[w] = params[vals[i][j]] - params[vals[j][i]]

It takes your brain more time to parse the first line. Now, there is an obvious limit, this is probably too much

c[w] = p[v[i][j]] - p[v[j][i]]

unless maybe the scope of the vars is very limited.
So the book that you mention takes things to the extreme, and this is what often happens with belief systems of any sort. Personally, I have found meditation on the three characteristics (unsatisfactoriness, impermanence, and non-self) to be useful. Why? So I can go on craving things I can't have, mourning losses, and getting caught up in my own ego, only without being completely overwhelmed by it all.

Life without suffering is not life, and those who truly believe in the complete removal of suffering will indeed find their way to nihilism.
