I'm not sure whether you're a native speaker (I'm not) but reading your first link doesn't inspire me with confidence that the majority of police in Xinjiang are Uyghur.

The internal recruitment drive in Xinjiang that requires applicants to be "politically legitimate" and atheist is only aimed at teachers, and those requirements seem likely to exclude Uyghurs one way or another. The reason given in the article why so many teachers are even needed is that many Uyghur teachers have been interned in camps and the government is seeking replacement for them.

They also quote Dilxat Raxit, spokesman of the World Uyghur Congress, as saying that the CCP doesn't trust Uyghur policemen to remain loyal in case of a conflict, and therefore prefers recruiting Han Chinese. The announcement in your second link is given as evidence of that, since it's published on the nationwide platform, which would make it more likely to attract Han Chinese than locally within the Kyrgyz autonomous prefecture.
Yeah in many cases it is "get something cool first and then leave it for somebody else to come up with a business model". Given the fleeting nature of success it makes sense to sell the first one and get enough to retire or be able to afford to lose.
This is where I'm at. If we see absurd leaps and bounds made in the homebrew milling/printing scene in terms of speed, cost, performance, then I'll start down that path, but for the time being the race to the bottom in terms of cost in small run PCBs is just too good for the consumer that it's hard to justify going totally homebrew.
Nicotine is extremely addictive. This is what we're learning with vaping.

And seriously, if you've ever smoked 2-3 packs of cigarettes and get weird desires to have a cigarette, you've experienced nicotine's addicting qualities. It's so subtle at first that most people just don't realize they're addicted.
Thank you, this is a great resource!

See pg's article on maker vs manager schedule.
The point was that while the ship was in port taking on
cable, it was fully manned anyway. Crews need something
to do - so might as well stow cable.

Right, but if they could take on cable faster couldn't they get under way faster? Four weeks to load a ship sounds like a long time.
To say that light travels at “nearly the speed of light” in any medium is a bad choice of words. Also with refraction coefficient of 1.40 - 1.45 in fiber, the term “nearly” is not appropriate if the intention was to compare with vacuum.
I don't have any links handy, but I have definitely read reports of sabotage and wiretapping.

Yeah I use OBS. It's the best thing ever for streaming and definitely is one of the best solutions for recording in general.

But Camtasia is both a recorder and editor and it seamlessly integrates the 2. The main pros of Camtasia is that it's super optimized for editing screencast style videos (tooltip overlays, text, zooms / pans, really REALLY nice animations on any objects by just dragging a few sliders, etc.). The editing part is where kdenlive is way behind IMO, but that's where you spend most of your time.
Trying to get a 1070 set up w/ 2 monitors on a laptop with hybrid graphics is a nightmare. 1 display driven by intel, 1 by nvidia. Cannot get both screens working without 2 Xscreens. Xinerama wouldn't work w. proprietary drivers. Nouveau has like no support for like 1050 up.

Wanted to try out SwayWM, but they don't work around how nvidia handles things in comparison to what everyone else does.

Works in Ubuntu, but could not for the life of me get 2 monitors working in Arch.
I think this author is a bit too easily offended. Software engineering is a good job but we're not better than anyone else.
Ask HN: How to Manage Remote Teams
There are around 7-10 developers working under me. I am thinking to give my devs working remote option . What are the best practises that i should follow or better question how do I plan "working remotely".
I was wondering as to why it was never published.

From the linked article:

"There are many possible explanations for the sudden demise of Huff’s book.
The industry realized in 1968 that it had a credibility problem: the public
was unlikely to trust a book funded and promoted by the Tobacco Institute.
Perhaps the campaign was shelved after Tiderock closed up shop. Perhaps it
was too late—some tobacco regulations had already been passed, others were
inevitable, and new tactics were needed. Or perhaps the thought of legal trouble made them retract their offer to advertise the book, making Macmillan kill
the project.
But Macmillan was on the brink of signing a contract with Huff. Did
they have second thoughts, or was Huff told to kill the project? Or were the
Tiderock consultants correct in their assessment that “this mass of verbiage
needs drastic editing” and was unpublishable without serious revision?
The Documents Library offers no clues. Only documents produced or
received by the industry are included, so any correspondence between Huff
and Macmillan may not appear. Andrew Gelman, professor of statistics at
Columbia University, reviewed the ethics of Huff’s involvement with the industry and suggested Huff could have intentionally killed the project to save
his own reputation, which would have been destroyed by his association with
tobacco.2 But just a few months before the book’s demise he had been fighting for a prestigious hardcover and better royalties.
Whatever the reasons, How to Lie with Smoking Statistics went unpublished, protecting its better-known sibling How to Lie with Statistics from guilt
by association."

Would the original book have commanded the same respect, if associated with another which would bascially be an example of what the first was meaning to expose?
The Concorde used to be #1 on this list, while being the least safe commercial jetliner of all time.
You had me at "Overal consumption needs to stop" but lost me at "convincing the people who run...".

> releases dopamine that makes you feel good about your choice, motivating you to execute.

Dopamine can be motivating, but over a threshold it's satisfying, which is essentially the opposite of motivating.

I think what's really being warned about is that if you dream too much it becomes satisfying. If you allow yourself to experience the pleasure of fantasising about your future, then you lose the motivation to actually realise that future. Instead of training your neural pathways to more effectively improve your circumstances, you train your neural pathways to get to that satisfaction quicker by simply imagining and believing you will have done so in the future.
Could be, but their mesh fabric might be useful for some multi-GPU configurations especially if NVIDIA goes into chiplets, I don't know if it's better than NVLINK or not but since NVLINK looks to be pretty much PCIe with a lot of the overhead stripped out of it it just might be.
nVidia's Tesla cards work relatively painless in HPC environments. When you install a supporting driver and set the cards' persistence mode to your needs, the rest is generally automagic.

However, they're hot and need serious juice to run, so you cannot just shove 36 of them to a rack and just power them on.
So...an outline for an unfinished IPFS primer. Nothing to do with webmentions, microformats, WebSub, or other decentralized web stuff.
I think it has. Fog Creek renamed itself to Glitch [1], sold off FogBugz (which then rebranded as Manuscript, then rebranded back to FogBugz). The last Fog Creek blog post was Feb 14 2018 (about becoming Glitch), and it looks like the blog was turned off in November 2018.

It's a bit of a miracle that the Joel On Software forums [2] are still accessible.

It's really insidious, to publish a book that establishes you as an intelligent truth teller, standing up to what marketers and profiteers want you to believe, and then use that success to shill for the worst consumer facing industry of the century.
This is exactly the reason why I like DigitalOcean name so much.
I'm fine with this if we get medicaid for all. This won't be an issue if all the 1099 workers did't have to take a 30% pay cut (or negotiate for 30% higher wages, I'm ignoring the tax issue of course) to be healthy.

Updated(!) interesting fact, Nvidia is an employer of Isreali and Palestinian programmers that are getting paid much less than their American counterparts. Cheap labor without other options because of their less competitive job market, but real opportunities and a more educated and well off population will be more effective at advocating for its rights

Yes. Legacy is governed by controlling the narrative. That is the real lesson.

Another lesson - there is no one legacy, we each have our own context. Go overseas and they will know Mansa Musa better than our local legends.

I guess that depends on how fast you can make the cable; I have no idea how that pans out - but the cable is put onto the vessel straight from the production line (which, I guess, may have had its speed optimised to the speed at which crews can reliably put down cable.)

Efficient Stream Processing with Pulsar Functions
Part of this is IT's fault.

Any competent IT org should strive to balance crisis interactions with preemptive actions.

Aka the package delivery person effect: 'Why does everyone like their package carrier? Because everytime you see them they bring a gift!'

If you only ever see IT when your system melts down or an upgrade goes awry, you're going to hate them. Even if they're doing a wonderful job.

So, please, if you run an IT department, give your troops some time to make house calls. "Just checking back in. How's the fix working?", "Anything troubling you?", etc.

If not for your org, then for their mental health.
The answer probably lies with their analytics guy's last job and the toolset they used there.

That's very interesting. Can you please clarify "if you have a low-magnitude high-dimensional signal corrupted by highly-correlated noise"?

I don't understand what "highly-correlated noise" means. I thought noise was uncorrelated to the signal by definition.

Also, I understand that PCA is not scale invariant, but I'm having trouble relating that to "low-magnitude, high-dimensional signal".

Thank you!

Perhaps there really is a severe workplace burnout problem in IT, but perhaps that's not the problem. There're ton of companies with burnout problems and worse turnover rates than IT.

I personally believe that the issue we are seeing today is that most people don't know how to manager stress, emotion & energy. Most people are leading a very reactive life and constantly been pulled and pushed in all directions by "life"

Stress happens when there's a large gulf between what you expect and reality. Most folks in IT are getting paid so well that they can bridge this gap better than most folks. All one has to do is freaking chillax. F material things, don't compare yourself or compete with others, learn to make do with what you have. Last but not least, do your very best at work, but detach your emotion from the outcome.

My grandfather lived to 94. Towards the end, the doctors had him on all sorts of schtuff. When he started his final decline in the last months, a hospice worker started coming a couple of times a week to check on him. Grandpa no longer wanted to hang around, ready to "see grandma again", he didn't want to take his medications. We finally relented when the hospice lady said that it was OK, so grandpa was allowed to stop taking his medications. Then something odd happened. Grandpa got better. Which really him. The hospice lady said that it was normal, and she'd seen that happen many times. Grandpa's recovery was shortlived though, mainly because he was hellbent on checking out, and he finally passed, in not too horrible a manner. He fell asleep, then fell into a deep unconscious state, then everything just shut down. In retrospect, I attribute his longevity, aside from genetic potential, to moderation, as well as getting moderate daily sunshine, fresh air, home cooking, walking, and having a reason to get out of bed every morning to attack the day. He had minimal immunizations, I'm sure the ones he got where of the highest quality (who the hell knows the quality control of modern mass produced overseas immunizations), he also took no supplements, and his exposure to the changes in mass produced food in recent decades, would have been minimal as most of his life had already passed. I'm in my late 40s, and virtually all of my friends have similar stories to tell. Our grandparents lived a long time. Our parents less so. And we're sure that our own lifespans will be even less. Pure lifespan aside, looking at the quality of life, it's even more dramatic. Grandpa and his friends did more at 60, then I did at 40. Parents did more at 50 then friends and I did at 40. Now it's common knowledge that 20 and 30 year olds are increasingly shocking doctors in trend-like fashion, with general poor health, and issues.

Someone who isn't me maybe realized he was pigging out on food and started eating consciously.

The biggest change Someone Who Isn't Me told was being able to, by sheer observation and mindfulness, wait the "hunger pangs" out and finally differentiate between being hungry and wanting to eat, two completely different concepts which get completely mixed up and indistinguishable from each other as people progress abusing food.

Overeating and anxiety are closely tied together and to be able to break or weaken that link is something truly life-changing.

The problem with your argument is that there are other diversity initiatives in the programming world which are mainly gender and race focused. That is undeniably true. There hasnt been the same thing at the same scale for older programmers. In fact there have been many articles on this very forum about how many tech companies filter out older engineers when searching for talent. Its not the first time this topic has been brought up. IBM was actively phasing out older workers and long term workers. Lets not act like data isnt there to support the claim even if it is just anecdotal.
Doesn't that just clear out the low-quality, low-effort competition for the better scammers? And create a stronger presumption that any given person is not a scammer, because otherwise Apple/Microsoft/Google/Amazon/whomever would have kicked them out?
