Business is a lot less stress (they take care of everything for you the entire way; you get what you want, when you want it.)

Being bunched up in an uncomfortable position for that long in coach vs being able to lie down is a huge difference.

For an overnight flight, it's the difference between just sleeping through it and (however many) hours of hell staring blearly forward in a pained stupor, losing consciousness for a few minutes before waking up to shrieking pains from your neck and shoulder, trying unsuccessfully to sleep in a more ergonomic position before you are so tired you cradle against the window again for that precious ten minutes before the strain and impingement shake you awake..

I've tried a couple different neck pillows and they don't work for me. My head has got to be tilted downward or to the side, no matter how sleep deprived I am.

Oh, and if I go a night w/out sleep, I'm going to be 100% useless the next day and have a major impact for the next couple days while I recover.
Here in the West, romantic love has seemingly been canonized. It's something which our culture effectively worships as some kind of oracle of an ultimate underlying truth. This is also why there is so much irrational thinking and bad thinking around love, romance, and relationships here.

Love is indeed a profound experience which will change how you view the world. However, Love is not a god. It's not an oracle unto truth. It's not to be worshiped. It's not a reason to turn off your rational brain. Anyone telling you otherwise, especially about that last one, is either trying to sell you something, or was told that by someone who is. (I suspect you're being downvoted by such zealots.)

The feeling of romantic love is a part of a greater whole. A relationship has other sides to it, like the companionate and practical aspects.
"Anecdotal, but"

If I may ask, why mention it when it's localized to just yourself?
My favorite solution: consciousness is not that important of a criteria when determining the success of an organism- there are plenty populated planets all over the universe, but none of them care about learning, or exploring the unknown. Our giant brains are just one very specific solution to one very specific problem, and in some environments, there are advantages to not having such a brain.
Another major improvement to GCC9 is gcov - starting with GCC 9, gcov can spit out coverage results in JSON format as well as take multiple coverage files as arguments, spitting out all the results to stdout, 1 json object per line (this is huge).

This will allow much of the code coverage calculation process to be done in parallel (i.e. much faster than is currently possible). This is because currently gcov writes everything out to files, which forces the wrapper to be single threaded lest one gcov process overwrite the output file of another.

For fun, I wrote a parallelized GCC9 gcov wrapper in python that generates an LCOV coverage report that genhtml can consume. Unofficial/anecdotal bench marking shows incredible gains over lcov on my own personal projects (700ms vs. 90 seconds). I'm sure it could be improved even more.

I think what rlucas is saying is that the reason the font might be the same is that the bank implemented the solution straight up; without any of the styling that would usually be applied. I've definitely seen this and worse before, so it's not exactly out of the realm of possibility.
The wild speculation part is that a plan for building trust in Amazon-owned brands could explain an appearance of foot-dragging in fixing trust problems hurting other brands.
Why limit ourselves to economic sanctions? The future of the entire planet is at stake. This is the equivalent of an all out military attack by a foreign power.

In the middle of the process there was an election and the new executive didn't want to actually go after Microsoft. They then got off much easier than their misdeeds required. At one point an OS/Office breakup was in the cards and that would actually have been a major shift in the industry. It's not surprising that what was actually done didn't have that much impact.
Why do you think it won't ever be?

Also that's literally just your opinion that it won't soon be capable. It's definitely Musk's opinion that it will soon be capable. Mine too.

I think Facebook's "bunny" system is also open source, but I have no idea how easy it is to set up.
Updates from YC
100%. I think this is the biggest trap that an experienced developer can fall into. "I know Tech X, I can still get lucrative jobs in Tech X, there's no reason for me to jump out of my comfort zone and learn Tech Y."

But if you don't do it, you're stuck on the local maximum of Hill X, and as it gradually erodes away, one day you realize that you don't have any lucrative jobs that you're qualified for, and you're so far away from what Tech Z is nowadays that you're effectively starting over from scratch, except that also you need to unlearn a bunch of stuff that's no longer true.

And this happens fast. If you try to coast for even, say, five years, so many of your skills will have turned to dust.

This is why the only real way to have a long-term career as a developer is to genuinely be interested in this stuff for its own sake. You need to want to go learn the latest new tech not just out of a cynical career calculus, but because you think it's genuinely cool and interesting and sounds fun. As long as that's true, I think you'll be able to be a valuable dev even as you get older; as soon as it stops being true, well, time to consider what's next for you.
The issue is that you obfuscate the destination of the link. This is a big no-no in enterprise fraud prevention. We train people to only click trusted links. How do I know whether a golink is trusted or not? And what if my golinks account is compromised and all my links get redirected to phising sites? All of this huge risk so... people can remember the link?
> Firefox is nearly the last remaining holdout against Chromium.

And the reason they don't have more market share is because Chrome is still faster and provides a better experience on average than Firefox does. I switched (back) to Firefox a few years ago, and I'm mostly happy with it. But when I try to get others to switch, those that end up not switching try for a few days and run into horrible performance issues that cripple their browsing experience. Clearly this isn't a universal issue (my experience is fine), but it's a big enough issue that it likely hampers further adoption.

I pretty much never hear "Firefox doesn't work properly on X site" as a reason they can't use Firefox. In the end, people use Chrome because it tends to give a better experience for people, even given its lack of respect for their privacy.
That's a very credible story. Pulling signals from arrays of noisy microphones is computationally intensive but very very powerful. On a small scale, that's what allows Alexa to hear people clearly from across the room.
Dude, you are so incredibly far off in strawman land right now I can't even...

you got stuck on the work imply and just couldn't come back.

Even assuming they're just sharing their work with the world entirely for generosity (and they're not, it's sitting in a company owned repo and the tag line is literally "Software Bureau. Hire us to work on code.")

Then yes, I'd still say espousing the merits of your product publicly is a pretty strong implication that I should use it. That's also why I expect you to have shared it.
In 2008 I was in my mid 30s, had been working at one job for nine years as a C/C++ bit twiddler and writing COM/DCOM objects that interop’d with VB - in other words I had a skillset they was woefully out of date. I got lucky and found a job that let me pivot into being a modern “enterprise developer” and barely survived rounds of layoffs for the next three years.

I learned my lesson. For the last 10 years I’ve kept my resume competitive with whatever the $cool_kids technology is and haven’t had a problem competing in the market.
Hey! Maybe I'm missing something, but why do you need to lock Kafka consumers? You can run multiple consumers within the same consumer group and get built-in high-availability (partition rebalancing when one consumer goes down)

The term "bit rot" can refer to both of these phenomenon. I usually see the second called "software rot"
And another one of those weird tidbits of obscure knowledge...

When the Java group was trying to come up with a name for the browser that was going to ship with the Alpha 1 code it was called "WebRunner", that was the name we used up until we discovered through a trademark search that the name was currently registered to Taligent. Sun couldn't get anyone at Apple or IBM to acknowledge it, much less talk to us about licensing or transferring it, so we renamed the browser to 'HotJava' (which I at the time wasn't aware of the sexual innuendo there but it was what it was). I still have my jacket that has Fang on it and says "WebRunner." I have never had the heart to throw it out.
an attempt to "disrupt" the deathly loneliness of late-stage capitalism

Much has been written about the potential isolation and alienation under the Soviet system, which to me qualifies as late stage socialism.
I often hear my co-workers complain about their bland green smoothies or salads without enough walnuts. Meanwhile, for lunch I prepare moroccan lamb stew, chicken cordon bleu with pasta, szechuan tofu and green bean stir fry, ham and gruyere with tomato soup, pear and blue cheese salad with rotisserie chicken, loaded sweet potato with curried fried cauliflour, and quiche lorraine, among others.

I'm not saying nobody should eat out, but to do it every day just seems wasteful. And I find cooking to be quite a bit more enriching than takeout.

Thoughtful! Also thanks for the reminder about microing potatoes, it totally works (and tastes something between boiled and baked).
Good question. I honestly don’t know. The vast majority of these events are ones in which STI transmission could not occur because there is no skin contact or fluid exchange. At the events where transmission could occur I’d guess that those attendees are more knowledgeable about risks and prevention than the average population. And there’s the safer sex elevator speech before contact: http://reidaboutsex.com/safer-sex-elevator-speech-with-examp...
Is it a friend? I'm assuming not and I don't want you wishing that you never did this. Towards that end, because you're asking you almost certainly don't know how to properly retain a perfected security interest in the car. You need to determine if it's worth dropping $500-1K on having your attorney draw up the loan and security agreement and instructing you how to go about perfecting the security interest in your state.
This sort of spying is one of the reasons why my mistrust of apps, companies, and smartphones keeps growing.
Curious about the pricing. It says $2.75 / month / user but it also says unlimited users. Does that mean you can pay $2.75 / month / user for as many users as you want? Seems confusing and I'd assume it's unlimited users if I'm paying per seat.

Can everyone in the company use the go links but only paid users can create them?
I'm talking about an actual car that was sold like a two years ago to someone. I mean it's possible that Tesla someday will be able to create some kind of autonomous car and sell it to someone.

But they've been claiming that the cars people already have will, in the future, be able to be autonomous.

Those statements are most accurately described as lying.
Actually, I like your sense of humour.
> > "We already have full self-driving capability on highways," Musk said during a January earnings call.

That statement certainly isn't true for any meaningful value of 'self-driving'.
I also think it's really, really dumb to push developers into management positions if they can't do the job.

Even if they can do the job, it may not be the best use of their time. If someone is really good technically, they are more difficult to replace than a competent middle manager. So if that's the trade off you are making, you are probably losing out.
Amazon is a "marketplace". Like "Google Play" or iTunes.
This seems very different situation.

As a progressive, I really want to support Warren but her policies need to solid. I am concerned the left is running off the rails with anti-vaxx, anti-GMO, anti-technology, extreme feminist wackadoodle ideas.

Can't just Bernie just dye his hair and wear a proper suit that fits?
That's neat, but many of the tests are using text generated with the same GPT-2 data set used for testing the text.

(Also, whatever generates their images of text blocks has what looks like interpreting Windows-1252 as Unicode.)
GitLab (I work there) does allow you to become Staff-Level which is the same multiplier as a manager.

I think there is no way we can know what is necessary for intelligence.

Life is not necessary for intelligence. As a counter-example, intelligent robots are certainly possible. What other substrates might support intelligence?

Life does not require proper axial tilt or distance from supernovas. There is life on the bottom of the ocean that survive on the heat and chemicals from hydrothermal vents, a metabolic pathway that does not depend on the sun. What other possibilities are there that don't happen to be present on earth?

We are biased towards human size, time scales, and biochemistry. And time and again, we have been surprised by forms of life that work differently.
This is interesting probably only from an academic point of view (as stated in the article) and only a corner case of what could be done when having the possibility to replace the firmware of a HDD.
The First Amendment claim seems awfully difficult. Actually, all three do; I have no idea what the Fourth is doing there.

There are a few possibilities other than the gag order; in particular, it could be a reference to a privacy/free-association claim that answering this subpoena would be injurious to people other than Manning or Wikileaks. NAACP v. Alabama accepted that, but this would be an enormous stretch from those circumstances. Connecting it to the closed nature of the hearing would be even harder, but you might get there by arguing that it could close information which wouldn't be revealed by later actions taking place in secret courts. It could also be an argument in the alternative, ignoring the private/public aspect.

As for the gag order, that might stick if it's not simply binding Manning to secrecy as a grand jury witness? If she's received a National Security Letter or something of the sort, there might be an argument that she's being compelled to speak in private in a way that collides with other restrictions the government has placed on her.
> And honestly, I would be more concerned about hiring someone who built their own bespoke framework from scratch than someone who used an existing one. Building frameworks rarely adds business value.

If I were interviewing such a candidate, I'd dig into why they built a custom framework. The answer to that question could be quite enlightening, especially if they mention business reasons for doing so, or if they talk about what they've learned since then.

When I started my own business a decade ago, I decided that existing web frameworks wouldn't suit my needs and built my own. Though I built a framework that suited my needs extremely well, it was a massive distraction from my actual business (which wasn't even tech). In interviews, I freely discuss how my NIH syndrome contributed to my inability to get the business off the ground; I've found that it tends to go over rather well with interviewers.

Not that special of a case. There's around 10-11 million VFR flights per year, versus around 15-16 million IFR flights, according to this FAA doc[0]

How many of those VFR flights have/use autopilot during their flight, I can't say, but basic autopilot systems for GA planes have gotten pretty affordable, so I would expect there's at least hundreds of flights any given day where a VFR pilot engages an autopilot during the flight.

The main difference is that none of those VFR flights are big airliners with hundreds of passengers. For those who don't know the difference, an oversimplification would be VFR = pilot is 99% in charge, with very little assistance from air traffic controllers outside of special controlled airspace, IFR = controllers are giving the pilot very detailed instructions for the entire flight. And it's pretty much one or the other.

That's usually a sign that there's too little validated theory beneath the debate. This seems to be the hallmark of all attempts to study complex systems, like psychology and sociology, where in/validation of theory is impossible by experiment and must rely instead on cumulative historical observation, and the interpretation thereof.
The effectiveness of the flu vaccine is studied each year. It varies a lot depending on which strains are most prevalent and how closely they match that year’s vaccine, but it’s typically around 50%.

You say you’re not taking an anti-vax stance, but when you discount scientific evidence in favor of your own anecdotes and make up theories about vaccines not containing what they say, that’s exactly what you’re doing.
> I've wondered if the suburbs might not have been a major driver of American middle class growth in the late 20th century for a really simple reason: expansion fueled by automotive transit allowed people to escape the law of rent and the tyranny of landlords and the property market.

Nice insight. I know in Silicon Valley, people are not nearly as wealthy as the could be given their salaries because maybe 1/2 their monthly income goes to housing.
If your project is IOT, data size is in well foreseen problem. Pushing that problem to the later means you will need to rewrite more logic to new backend.

I don't think that would help much. If I understand what they're saying, they're getting your location from lots of other apps and sources as well.
I disagree with these proposals, and think the sights should be aimed at companies like Verizon and Comcast, but at least Warren's proposals tend to be coherent. Although, it isn't too hard to be a "policy pacesetter" on the democratic side these days -- they lack any semblance of unified vision, and so far we have been given 3 magical proposals for legislation for fixing all the worlds problem lacking any coherent way to pay for them other than a bunch of magic handwaving and "let's just tax millionaires and billionaires more" -- the most atrocious of them being the "New Green Deal", and the second most atrocious is the "Medicaid for all"

Given recently how AOC and her cohorts were flat out embarrassed by the NY state budget director and given a lesson in basic financial literacy and economics, I think the freshman and sophomore democrats should probably lay low for a while and learn a thing or two from the adults in the room.

>> I also think it's really, really dumb to push developers into management positions if they can't do the job.

>This has been known forever, yet it still happens - Why?

This problem exists in hardware departments too. My best guess is that they want managers familiar with the tech/industry/company. My second best guess is that it's a natural human tendency and hasn't been addressed systematically.
Many companies have separate tracks for independent contributors and managers. You can stay an IC and level up to Distinguished Engineer or Fellow or Staff Engineer or whatever, without needing to go into management.
It could have come from the other side. If they listed your address for something (because she didn't want to list their own, or for any number of reasons), they could possibly determine that you lived together from that. Or some database got mixed up and used some shipping address for something they ordered to your residence as a home address. Having them associate you with them isn't all that weird.

What's weird is that they get this information from random sources and use it for verification without verifying it's actually accurate first. That's just bonkers.

I am charmed to read someone here expects this to potentially happen in our lifetime. I know it’s not a completely uncommon sentiment in these circles but I’m not informed about why people hold it - personally, I wouldn’t mind being convinced of it myself. Do you expect us to reach the singularity in our lifetimes, if so why?
