I tried logging in the other day. For some reason, the page linked from the reset password email was completely broken. I reached out on Twitter, but it remained like that for days. I’d be surprised if they had even one full time staff for the site.

I’d say Slashdot is sustained purely on inertia. Pretty sure it’s just drifting towards the Sun and destined to blip out of existence eventually.

It’s a shame, but HN has clearly supplanted Slashdot as a place for nerds to congregate.
Aside: this is getting out of control, there were 3 closable header/footer "alerts" on that page, and one non-closable header banner to obscure the top area of the page on scrolling.

There are quite a few groups on discord that are non-gaming related. Laravel, the PHP framework, has a pretty active one. I prefer Discord over Slack. Slack and Discord are basically the same thing now in the majority of features.
Great idea. Do you support Canadian users too? Thanks
On the other hand, private chats are harder to get into; someone has to actually get invited, by the very nature of things. Manipulation that way is going to be harder (though not impossible, especially when they get bigger than everyone-knows-everyone size).
Just because the idea is known doesn't make it trivial to implement in a completely different kernel.
We use Zulip for Code Shelter (https://www.codeshelter.co/, an OSS maintainers collective) and I love it. It's so easy to keep track of everything, and I love how it encourages you to write long-form replies rather than the Slack-like one-offs. It feels like a cross between chat and email, with the best of both worlds.
It won't at all, but never going to happen. Legislators know full well this will happen again, they need a "bad guy" or they'll take the heat themselves.

All right, but in the scenario you describe, you volunteered to work overtime because that's what you felt was best for you, not because of the lingering...opportunity to get fired if you didn't.

1. The size of the show home is dictated in part by the desire of the associations to incorporate and show off the different products of the sponsors. More sponsors means more revenue for the show.

Cryptocurrencies have failed to make any inroads in this because A) People trust the existing services, and B) They're nowhere near as expensive as you say.

At this point it's just yet another talking point for enthusiasts, enthusiasts who have no idea about real-world use-cases.

Why not employ an hybrid architecture of bare metal for base load augmented by cloud-based infrastructure for peaks, constructed via a polyglot union of taped-together tools and lubricated by the daily tears of a hundred college hires only to regret it after the engineers who designed it have successfully used it as a springboard for promotion and departed with their accumulated arcane knowledge (and vested shares) for greener pastures?

Worked for us at Twitch.
Interesting idea!

So basically we'd hold the data hostage ;) I'm curious - why is that's a better model, in your mind?

We support users if they get audited in the sense that we'd give them all of their data recorded with Keeper and help answer any questions. Ultimately, we base all of our suggestions on information the user has told us, but we can't guarantee that the answers were truthful.

I'm curious - what tax software do you use, and what's their audit claim?

OpsLevel | Software Engineer | Toronto, Canada | Onsite | Full-time | https://www.opslevel.com

~About us~

OpsLevel is a very early stage startup based in Toronto, ON. We're an experienced team of ex-PagerDuty, ex-Amazon, and ex-Shopify. We have paying customers and just closed our seed round with fantastic Silicon Valley investors.

We want to make the Internet better by helping companies build more reliable software. We're building a product to bring the site reliability best practices from companies like Netflix and Google to everyone else.

Our users' experience is paramount, so we relentlessly focus on all aspects of UX, from our UI to our APIs. As developers, we also take great care with code quality, maintainability, and scalability.

Work/life balance is a priority for us. We have family, friends, and hobbies that we want to attend to at the end of the day (and we suspect you do too). Elon Musk can keep his 100 hour weeks. We're happy to grow fast at 40 hours per week.

~About you~

You'll be one of our initial hires and working closely with our CEO, CTO, and other senior employees.

Your day to day will be writing software, but you'll ultimately touch many aspects of the business: talking to customers, defining new features, and then actually implementing those features end to end. We don't have a lot of process or structure, so you should be good at working independently and getting stuff done.

On the technical side, we care most that you have an insatiable curiosity around technology and software. You care about improving your craft and can demonstrate how you've done so.

~Stack:~

- Vue.js - Frontend

- Ruby/Rails - Backend / API

- Currently on Heroku (migrating to Terraform, Docker, and AWS)

No worries. I got rid of the unnecessary `range' in the last version, but it does not matter much anyway.
Seeking new challenges is not being honest either. But it makes you see the person in a different light compared to the other more accurate version. That's what is happening with the personal crisis story.

Would you fire that same person if you discover a year later new challenges meant hated old boss and told them off?

Just curious are the positions you manage that easy to fill that you can fire at random?

If someone I knew was fired for that reason a lawsuit would be very likely. The manager would be let go after they lost cost the company so much money. I'm not in the US so I understand the rules might be different but usually you can't fire someone because they broke your personal moral code.
The article mentions that "even European citizens will be greatly limited despite shorter distances within countries or even border cities".

I think he's wrong here. The Urban EV has a range that's roughly like the Renault Zoe and the Hyundai Ioniq. And these are very well sold.

Lexers run multiple regexes in tandem to determine the next token type. To do that with your method you'd have to run multiple DFAs on the same string. Lexers can do it with 1 DFA by having multiple different final states (non-final + 1 per token type vs non-final + final).

As a passenger I've found my Lyft prices to be steadily increasing. In the beginning they were cheaper and more reliable than Uber; then I stopped comparing prices until one day I found that Lyft charges much more than Uber. There was a time when both my friend and I were trying to use Lyft to book the same trip with the same destination, and yet my price was 20% higher than hers.

Source: I have never been to the Moon, but I have played a lot of Kerbal Space Program.

The problem was not landing. The problem was getting back into space, to rendezvous with the command module.

The reason this is difficult is because orbital plane changes (changes in your orbit's inclination) are expensive, and because astronauts can't sit on the lunar surface for weeks at a time.

Launching to rendezvous with a space space station (Or the command module) is, if you want to avoid very expensive plane changes, requires waiting for it to be a few minutes from passing directly overhead. Then, you launch into the same orbital plane as the space station, and, in the process of accelerating to orbital speeds, the space station catches up to you, and you dock to it.

If the command module is in an equatorial orbit, and you land on the equator, then rendezvous is as easy as taking off from the lunar surface, a few minutes before it is scheduled to pass overhead. This happens every ~2 hours.

If the comand module is in a polar orbit, and you land on the poles, then the same thing happens. The orbiter will be overhead every ~2 hours, so, again, rendezvous is very easy.

But if you land in the mid-latitudes, you suddenly have a problem.

The moon rotates. And it rotates slowly.

Imagine if the command module is in a polar orbit, and you land in the mid-latitudes. You spend two days driving golf carts on the moon. You want to get back to space, to meet up with the command module.

Except that the moon has rotated in this time. But the polar orbit hasn't. Instead of passing overhead, the command module is now one-tenth of the way around the moon from you. You can't launch into its orbital plane anymore.

You now have two options.

1. You can wait for a total of 13.5 days, when due to the moon's rotation, you will, again, be within the command module's orbital plane.

2. You can launch into an orbital plane that is ~30 degrees inclined to that of the command module. And then spend a tonne and a half of rocket fuel, to change your orbital inclination.

Both of these options, for obvious reasons, suck.

Now, option #1 gets a bit easier, if the command module is in a non-polar orbit - the launch window, instead of being every 13.5 days, may be every few days, or once a day.

However, if you need to, for whatever reason, perform an emergency launch, or if you miss the launch window, you may be screwed.

If the Apollo mission did not involve a command module (If the lunar lander was the craft that would come back to Earth), then all of this becomes irrelevant. You could then land at whatever latitude, and return to Earth, via a wide range of possible trajectories. (Except that, as another poster pointed out, you miss out on a part of, or all of the free-return trajectory boost, that you get from exiting the Moon's orbit in the opposite direction of its travel - which is ~1,000 m/s of delta-v saved.)
> A particularly bad solution

You’re free to have this opinion. I don’t see how it could possibly be justified.

> that requires data of still huge amount

This is true for some problem spaces, but not true in general. If your exposure to Deep Learning is relatively casual, then I can see why you would think this. So while it’s not a totally unfair criticism, if you’re in a problem space wth lots of data, and you have a method that performs well under those circumstances, then you’ll have to do more work to convince me it’s a bad idea to use it.

> and still has terrible failure modes. It is not yet ready, not until we can reason about those failure modes better than using highest end statistics.

This just feels like parroting others’ criticisms. Yes, our primary method for understanding failure modes of stochastic function approximators are statistical, the same as they are for stochastic processes. Statistics is precisely what is used to rigorously describe behaviour in the aggregate that cannot be well explained in the particulate.

It also ignores the fact that there is a huge amount of theory that is currently being developed around deep learning. You won’t see it linked on HN, and you likely won’t find many in the typical software engineering crowd who know about it (which is fine! - software engineers are highly skilled specialists, who should not be expected to closely follow the mathematical literature), but it does exist, and several of my friends who remained in acadaemia are building careers on developing it.

As a general aside, I have to say that the glibness of the responses objecting to my comment really does speak volumes.
Ask HN: So why am I still robocalled?
It's 2019, the do not call list was created in 1991. I get about 25 robocalls per day.

>centralized options

This seems to be the crux of all of these discussions and why they inevitably go nowhere.

For a small but passionate core of libertarian-minded crypto/Bitcoin boosters, decentralization is a good unto itself. All other issues caused by it are irrelevant.

Hard for normal people to use? But it's decentralized! Not useful for anything normal people want to do? But it's decentralized! Massive price fluctuations render it largely unusable? But it's decentralized! Rife with scams and fraud? But it's decentralized!

This makes it impossible to discuss because this small group's focus is so different from everyone else's. Unfortunately, this small group also has outsize influence in the crypto scene so the concerns of users will probably never get addressed, since they don't matter from that POV.
I am an "idea guy", I still see my "inventions" on the PR pictures of a company I stayed at for only 6 months. But I think the trick is that I know how to get some stuff done.
