So uhm, I’m a male reporting in with my anecdata. I am just like your girlfriend.

Can’t tolerate extreme temperatures (especially cold), but have a fairly high tolerance for physical pain compared to what’s normal I think.

And I am INFAMOUS for needing sunglasses. Whenever I’m visiting my folks, they know it’s the thing I’ll complain about if I’ll be in the sun and my mom will usually have bought sunglasses just for me.
Companies give raises. Have you or anyone you know never gotten a raise?

Inside China’s complex system of incarceration and control of minorities
thanks for the outline. article was behind a paywall from my end.
Best chances are if you know someone inside to get traction or you have a dedicated account manager (if you are a large company with lots of money to burn).
This is really cool! And awesome that (anecdotally) it seems to have been an effective tool for teaching high school students about logic and proof. Excited to dig in and learn more at some point about how this relates to formal proof assistants.
Heroku. Very little effort to kick a git repo up to a server - no messing with the system - and they have a free tier to start out on. If a project takes off, flip a switch to start paying for hosting.
To each his own I guess. Maybe that person is most comfortable in a semi- auto pilot mode. I have noticed that some people are very much averse to prolonged thinking / problem solving / creative work. These are the kinds of people, who, if stuck in a problem, go to their friends and family for advise and solve their problems. They usually have a lot of people / socializing / networking skills.

I myself am an introvert and love to sit by myself and think of solutions for problems, be it work / life related. I am very bad at networking and usually go to a very very small set of people to discuss any problems I am facing, that I am unable to solve myself.
Is r134a that bad for you? It's the aerosol in by Albuterol inhaler (for asthma.)
When we turned down the G+ API we injected synthetic errors in increasing fractions of requests a few days ahead of the actual turndown to alert users. I'm not sure if its the same case here, but it's possible that's what's happening.
Ask HN: What’s Your Favorite Technology?
Was asked this in an interview once, and found it strange that when I cited SQLite as a great example of excellent engineering, the interviewer wanted something more “recent.” Curious what others think!
I wish PHP had classes spread across several files like ASP.NET.
How so? Hack a net-connected USB device that the target is using.
Current company knows his worth. New company doesn’t so your teammate has informational advantage and can negotiate a higher salary.
Haha, it's true. And there's no music in it. :)

I see a lot of people focusing on the technology of Dynamicland but less the idea behind it, which is to make computation more of a medium that's continuous with our human world, not something that is trapped in tiny rectangles (hijacking our attention and crippling our bodies) where only people with developed symbolic representation skills can use it. The technology will change and be outdated in many years (like paper and pens have changed over time), but the medium will live on. Maybe my work on Laser Socks provides another example in this space: http://glench.com/LaserSocks/
I wonder if the Académie is insisting on following correct etymology. A lot of people are saying 'docteure' as a feminised form of 'docteur'; yet, if you go back to the Latin 'doctor', derived from 'doceo' ("I teach"), and change masculine agent noun suffix '-or' for the feminine agent noun suffix '-trix', then the derived French form should be 'doctresse' (edit: apparently a word 'doctoresse' exists); yet, it's far more likely for the public to simply add an 'e' to the end of 'docteur', which would surely offend the sensibilities of the Académie.

On the one hand, the Académie could make a recommendation on such titles (and it may have done, I don't know) and those would be carried into the French public school curriculum, but the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) in Quebec often has its own, separate ideas about how the French language should evolve, and there could be two feminised terms for the same thing, differing based on the region.

Not to mention the other Francophone regions and nations whose curricula aren't tied to the French or Québécois ones.
Haha GCP docs do seem to be well written though, aren’t they?

It seems like folks have their own way of learning how to concentrate effectively on things that may not immediately catch their attention. For me personally, it has been note-taking. Note taking seems to trigger a part of my brain that makes it think that the subject matter is worth paying attention too. Often my notes won’t be points but some doodles/diagrams to visualize what things look like.

Others have pointed out that certain kinds of prescription drugs are useful too, which... tbh I’m a little wary of trying. If they turn out to be too effective my internal logic system might have me using them all the time.
Anecdotal, but my relationship is the opposite. I can take physical blows and shrug them off, to which my partner seems relatively sensitive.

On the other hand, I perceive I'm much more sensitive to light and temperature. Indeed I literally can't hold her coffee cups, drink hot drinks and soup, or hold microwaved meals because of pain overload which she can without thought. And I assure you this isn't because of conditional exposure or anything on her behalf to harsh conditions, she's a relatively delicate creature.

Growing up, I often wondered whether there's just a greater deal of variation in pain and sensory perception in the population than generally accepted. I remember watching people jump into cold pools during swimming carnivals, and I had to seriously wonder whether those people were experiencing what I was experiencing, because, while I'm being a bit melodramatic here, you might as well ask me to consider putting my hand in a fire, and some of these people I swear were amidst revelling in it...
Large companies like Facebook love government regulation. They have enough money to pay attorneys to navigate the regulation framework and it keeps out future competitors.
RTFM is an underrated comment, thanks for reminding me so politely. Will definitely review now!
I often carry a canvas tote bag. They fold up to be about wallet-sized - maybe not quite small enough to fit in your jeans if you're already carrying a wallet+phone etc., but easily compact enough to go in a jacket or hoodie pocket.
A developer at Pipdig wrote these lines of code and shipped it, I wonder how they felt.

I found a tactic that tends to work for me for the researching phase. I just use OneNote, but there are some tools under the label "mind mapping" that try to explicitly cater to this approach.

Since research for me usually works like traversing a tree or directed graph, I take notes in that style. Usually one concept depends on another, or one problem must be solved before another problem becomes relevant.

At any point, when I'm wondering where I need to look next, I look at the leaf nodes in my graph, rank them by how important or promising they are, and then I have a TODO list with plenty of notes for context to jog my memory.

I've found that by leaving myself those breadcrumbs, I am much more organized and fluid about "executing" on my research, and when anyone asks, I have a good idea of what I know and don't know.
depends on thr compression settings. it takes 6x longer to compress with good quality using software x264 than hardware like intel's quicksync, amd's vce or nvidia's nvenc.

when compressing via x264 with good settings, i cannot tell the difference. usually you can tell from blocking artifacts in areas of smooth colors like fog or out of focus backgrounds. try pausing during these scenes.
It seems a more natural route for English, where there is no grammatical gender. So the imposition of gender on the nouns for a subset of professions was inherently an odd feature.

Whereas, German and French both have a grammatical gender. In German I suppose you could neuter all the professions Whether that's feasible or not I couldn't say; I don't speak German. French doesn't have a neuter gender, though, so eroding the feminine gendered trade words could be (quite rightly) taken as an overt act of erasure. It means you'd be using male-coded pronouns and declension whenever you refer to a woman in terms of her profession.
Did you install the BIOS update they released towards the end of last year?
I think it is not up to "SPF and DKIM configured". I believe is because of you have some "bad" keyword invoice, money, etc. in the body of the email causing this.

I assume that is the problem because when I reported to Google support about "why this Stripe email is in spam" and I provide them with email body. Then reply from Google G Suite support went to spam (since it had email body in it).

And of course the fact that you use FastMail does not help.
I’m currently pondering how strange it is that I would take either side of this deal.

I have half baked ideas I’d love someone to take and run with and me collect a bit of that.

And I’d love to hear profitable ideas in industries I’m not familiar with and put some code together.

Yet I don’t have an idea I’d want to build into a business myself. Weird.
The important question is: do employers care about CS degrees? My personal experience, having a (good) engineering diploma, tells me that the answer is a big NO.
The Mexican fisherman story [1] is what it comes down to for me. You can work a little, play a little, and generally have a good time with life and get by (Mexican fisherman), or you can start a business, work long hours, build a fleet of boats that makes a ton of money, and then sell it all someday when you retire, at which point you can work a little, play a little, and generally have a good time. (American businessman).

For me, I make enough to get by and then some. Yes I could work harder, but life is pretty good this way.

Would anybody be able to provide a summary? I find the narrator's intonation unbearably forced and unnatural, such that I don't feel like listening to it non-stop for 21 minutes. Scorn me, berate me, and downvote me if you will; but to my mind, poor narration in long-form video essays is no different to printing academic journals entirely in Zapfino.
Why the EU wants to stop moving the clocks forwards and back
This is, frustratingly, false. They have access to internal customer support that you can't even pay for as an external user. It's fucking infuriating.

My brother is disabled and hadn't logged into his Gmail account for a few months.

I helped him log in, which somehow triggered some kind of security system. It thought we were hacking the account. We got stuck in an infinite loop of "verify your 2FA, answer personal questions, wait for customer support to review the situation, repeat".

It was hellish. We tried over and over again for months to get back in. I still even had access to the Gmail account that sent him the original invite. But when no human will review the situation, you can't break out of the loop.

The only way we got his email account back was by talking to one of my friends who works at Google.
Banning downloads of what, exactly?
Pain management definitely differs from person to person. It’s clearly varying within just yourself from one type of pain to another. I’ve experienced differences between pains as well.
Ask HN: Opportunities for Business Intelligence SaaS Startups?
I've been working on a business intelligence related side project, and recently launched an MVP:

https://www.siftic.com

The app is set up to operate under the multi-tenant SaaS model, where each new business customer has access to the analytics and visualization tools under a custom subdomain.

Although its launched, I am not sure how to attract customers as a solo developer... are regular google adwords effective for this kind of service?

Lastly, I am brainstorming ways to differentiate the offering so that I can plan and prioritize future feature development. What opportunities exist for startups looking to make an entrance into the business intelligence market? Are there any aspects of Tableau or PowerBI that have frustrated you in your day-job?
If the market is going to give him that rate (assuming he can adequately perform the new job) that is his market value..
This is just amazing, I'm very impressed with your OS. This also inspires me to begin creating things that at first thought might seem impossible.

How did you gain the knowledge to implement all these subsystems? Did you use any specific resources?

Just building a kernel and networking would have been awesome, but a GUI and all the applications is just mind-blowing cool.

Submissions like this is why I read HN. There are something intriguing about projects like this, that are small enough for you to have a chance of understanding how every part works.
I've always seen these plastic bans as being more about litter prevention than carbon emissions. It's unconscionable that we've invented a material that doesn't biodegrade, and we use it for single-use items that end up in the environment, there to accumulate until everything we eat and breathe is riddled with tiny particles. Quite honestly, even plastic garbage bags are a travesty that I hope we can figure out a way to get rid of someday.
Context switching really takes a toll on focusing. It sucks when executives in a company keep having 'new ideas' and switching the priorities.
Doesn't sound too unlike the (now-closed) one in Napier and the one in Wellington that seems like nobody's actually there until you look right down the back.
Tricky-to-reproduce problems are always the hardest. It sounds like you've made good headway in identifying temperature as an exacerbant.

Replacing the motherboard would be a sensible next step.

If you've exhausted all the traditional suggestions for troubleshooting (disassembling and reassembling all components, se-seating RAM, CPU, etc), try this:

Get a thermal imaging camera (if available) and a can of cold spray (sometimes referred to colloquially as "liquid nitrogen"). Cool sections of the boards at a time, and see if you can isolate which area causes the lockup (e.g. something near power-related IC's for USB?). The camera isn't critical, but might help you envision where temperature changes most rapidly and achieve better granularity as to which components you thermally stress in any given test.

Borrowing a PSU from a friend and repeating the cold test might also be enlightening.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out!
But they can log an internal bug or send an outraged email to eng-misc@, which often helps.
It's usually considered a bad idea to use adwords before you have product-market-fit. One of the videos from the most recent Startup School session explains in more detail.

Outside of that, I'd encourage you to go through that entire video series, and also read The Four Steps to the Epiphany if you haven't already. I think you'll find a lot of your questions answered.
This is my solution, but it feels like there should be a better way.

I have replaced 'staring into space thinking' with taking a walk outside my office.
Lots of places give raises; in fact one place I worked had the specific goal of after 10 years, the top performers should be making about 2x what the "okay" performers do; and the "okay" performers got at least a cost of living raise each year.
I can appreciate being so good you can get away with that.
The docs are very well written. I just know I won't use 95% of what I learn before I have forgotten it. I guess it's good to know what is and isn't available though.

I am way of trying Adderall and such as well, for exactly the same reason as you.

Things like trying to paraphrase in my own words help me way more than standard notes, but doing this is also very time consuming, and it's not necessary when I am into the subject.

I think your strat of "doodles/diagrams to visualize what things look like" likely works on the exact same principle which forces the brain to pay attention since it now has to work with the information.
Note that they're also New Zealand-based - I don't know the numbers but I wouldn't be surprised if average retention there is a bit higher than the Bay Area. (Someone correct me if they have stats that say otherwise!)
tl;dr: They got absorbed by Warner Bros and killed.
The biggest issue is you have information asymmetry between the domain expert and the developer. Because developers can't tell the difference between great ideas and bad ones they'll pay the same price on the market. If all ideas sell for the same amount and you're a domain expert than it makes sense to keep your best ideas and sell your worst ones. This drives down the average quality of an idea as well as price which means less domain experts are willing to sell at market price which drives down quality, etc... Very similarly to an insurance death spiral. A similar process also drives down the average quality of the developer working on the work.
That’s a good question. Hopefully they choose one or the other and not choose to make up a totally synthetic and nonsense suffix (as when they want to invent new French words so as not to corrupt French with loan words (have they come up with a native word for sushi, by the way?)
Archive Team is not the Internet Archive, even though they post much of their content there. If I understand correctly, Google has blocked an Archive Team tool that was used to download data in bulk using a distributed set of volunteers. I don't think they have blocked any of the Internet Archive's own crawlers.
The machine, of course
It's so vague as to defy description.

Gavin said he was confident in his conclusion. He then went on to describe numerous activities; interviewing current and former AMI executives, Middle East experts, cybersecurity experts, current and former advisers to Trump (?), whistleblowers, associates, and others targeted by the Saudis.

That sounds to me, like an awful lot of smoke, and zero definitive evidence. What he didn't say he had? Forensic evidence from the phone. DKIM signed email trail, confession from a co-conspirator, etc.

I have no doubt there is a compelling story here. I have no doubt that this could theoretically fit the Saudi MO. I certainly have absolutely zero doubt that the crown prince is an epicly murderous duplicitous asshole. I might even believe the Saudis have some ways to remotely infiltrate certain iPhones (but I would bet it requires compromising the carrier).

None of that would lead me to conclude the Saudis tipped AMI without just a little bit of non-circumstantial evidence.

And yet all the marketing emails somehow make it to your inbox no matter how many times you flag them as "spam"
Google+ before Google deletes it in a few days.
tl;dw but I'm gonna guess it comes down to "they sure did shit out a lot of cheap, terrible cartoons for a decade". I mean seriously Joe and Bill won an Oscar or two for their lovingly-animated Tom & Jerry shorts at MGM but once the theatrical shorts market dried up they started making stuff with the fewest drawings humanly possible, that rested largely on voice work. "Illustrated radio" is a term that animation nerds throw around for the vast majority of their output.

Then Turner bought them I think, then WB bought Turner, and IIRC just kinda merged them into Cartoon Network because having two studios in the same city is kind of a waste or resources. Also the whole rise of sending work overseas to Asia where your dollar buys an order of more magnitude more pencil mileage; animation was at the forefront of hollowing out the American industry by substituting cheaper labor across the globe.

Or at least that's what I recall from growing up in the seventies and being in the animation industry in the nineties/00s.

People who were kids with no taste and a lot of time to fill during the time they dominated Saturday Morning have fond memories of their characters but that stuff really does not age well. It maybe ages slightly better than most Filmation work. Slightly.

The front page of Hacker News - the only way to get your support issue with (insert big tech company name here) fixed.

As I keep suggesting, these big companies each need their own internal ombudsman, because at the moment they provide no way to fix things when their systems have gone crazy.

The other reason (big companies X/Y/Z) need to each have an internal ombudsman is that it's getting tedious reading on Hacker News about how (big company X/Y/Z) has done something crazy and the user/developer/customer cannot get it fixed.

Maybe its an entrepreneurial opportunity - someone could make a website that pays a fee to someone with Google/Microsoft/Amazon who is willing to use their influence to solve a crazy problem. "Rent a manager friend at Google".
This absolutely. Right now I'm reflecting on a couple of my own projects that would have been completed much sooner if I had planned things out more effectively.

Don't let your boss jump out from behind a bush and hand you a task and run. Corner them and determine together exactly what the deliverable is. Define terms of reference, get specific details and get them to name the standards, otherwise you'll be stuck trying to guess.

If you are stuck at a critical juncture, list all the options and get your boss to choose the best one (let it be the course of action you recommend).

"OpenTTD is a business simulation game in which players try to earn money via transporting passengers and freight by road, rail, water and air. It is an open-source[2] remake and expansion of the 1995 Chris Sawyer video game Transport Tycoon Deluxe."

Books.

That's what I've retreated to as the internet has been ruined. It's all about low barrier to entry that ruins anything with the shiftless/idle masses becoming involved. No one wants to pickup a book and read, they want to offer smart ass one-liners or harass people on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. That's most people's entire life, same behavior in the workplace, then they die. That's why I'm a developer, the barrier to entry is high enough that I enjoy and appreciate most people that I work with. Same concept as with media.

Books are proof-read, edited and vetted for reasonably accurate sources in most cases. In general, publishing them is hard enough that as a consumer I can rely on them being one of the better mediums.
