Interesting... i'm in a similar space where I found a decent startup, grinded for a year or two... and have pretty much been riding a gravy train ever since. In the midwest, making 100k in my late 20s and going full time remote soon. we got bought up by some corporate shmos as well so got a pretty penny in stock options
Actually I'm really excited about wasm and WebGL inside of the browser. One build target to rule them all. But we're still far, far away from utopia.

Unreal and Unity web builds are not production-ready yet. The cross compilation can be brittle, compile time is huge, the resulting assemblies are large and memory consumption is just too high.

This leads to many, many problems, which are hard to diagnose. Getting games to work on mobile browsers consistently is nearly impossible. For example, last time I checked, Chrome on Android disables WebGL by default and limits memory to 64mb.

Unity is working on "Unity Tiny", but it's in alpha state. Frameworks like Three.js are better suited, but more barebones. Still a long way to go...
Which is kind of a pleasant oddity because east coast cities (or cities in general for that matter) are not known for their deference to personal responsibility when legislation is an option.
I think the closest modern day equivalent to the Dutch East India Co, at least in regards to their financial and strategic ties to a nation state, is the relation of Emaar (a state owned and funded global property developer) and the UAE (which in current times is basically Saudi Arabia).

For reference Emaar was the company that built the Burj Khalifa (formerly the Burj Dubai before funding ran out), Dubai Mall, Skii Dubai etc...
> I'd like to get one but it doesn't fit my use case (namely long road trips in the summer).

I own a P3D, facing the same issues of long road trips 1-2x a year I concluded that I'll just spend the few hundred dollars and rent a car for the deep edge cases of my driving and the other 99% of my time I'll enjoy driving my Tesla.

99% of my normal day to day driving I just charge at home at night, I've used the supercharger network on a long road trip and it was surprisingly little-hassle.
Apologies for my imprecise answer before.

I mainly intended to say I think Org is much more standardized than Markdown because there is at least a unique reference implementation and a unique reference document describing the format. Whereas for Markdown, you do have many slightly different implementations and attempts at standardization, despite Markdown being an order of magnitude simpler.

In places like GitLab, people are taking advantage of this by running Emacs in batch mode inside a container to effectively use the reference implementation for export-to-other-formats purposes.

It's not an ideal situation, though. And I hope someone creates a truly independent library. There is a Ruby parser employed by GitHub and GitLab which covers a decent subset of Org. Furthermore, Orgzly and vim-orgmode are pretty much closer to implementing a much bigger subset of Org.

Same here. I took the CS101 course then went into CS 253 and it's what pushed me towards a career as a web dev. 5 years in and I'd say it's worked out.

I'll be forever grateful to Udacity for that but I'm sure it's difficult for them to meet their business goals. I have friends ask me how I got into web dev and I've tried to point them to Udacity but with all of their focus on Nanodegrees people think that's all they offer and balk at the high price point. Now I usually say to look for a Udemy course on sale for $10 or a course from Wes Bos. Which is a shame because I find the instruction and format of Udacity to be high quality.
Exactly right, it's a human nature twist on misinterpreted Protestant theology. Or rather a human instinct dressed up with the language of religion, in this case Protestantism but it could be anything. The manipulative language of MLMs which make money off the failures of their consultants, pulls from this work = salvation misinterpretation that boils down to "you get what you deserve," which is completely at odds with _real_ Protestant (and Catholic, orthodox, other Christian) theology.

That is not true. You're generally required to file a tax return if your income is over 12K, depending on your filing status and various other rules, regardless of if you owe money or are owed a refund.

Agreed. I have a cold brew kit that cost ~$20, and I found a cheap coffee that tastes great in it. Very little effort required (dump + rinse the bag once a week or slightly more often), less than $1 per day. Throw some grocery store dairy in there, still probably under $1. I get the social aspect of getting coffee with people, but if we're just talking about the value of the drink, there's no reason to spend that much regularly and it really is enough to make a difference if your non-negotiable expenses already push your limits. Paraphrasing another commenter, 5% of take-home might be 15+% of disposable, which is a huge bite out of savings.
what is "free"?

There is no "free", it just means I have to pay for it.

I prefer to pay for my own responsibilities, not for people to get underwater basketweaving degrees.
It is exactly how networks are being deployed.

5G's biggest advance is short range high speed data transmission at high frequencies.

Network operators are going to end up deploying tons of tiny cell transmitters throughout cities.

The biggest catch is getting the backbone in place to service all those tiny towers.
I don't think you understand the car if you want to turn off the ability for the car to improve the software.
> You can block DNS traffic sent to servers configured in custom hosts files

You're thinking of configuring a custom DNS server, which is not related to the hosts file. The hosts file replaces DNS so there would be no network traffic to block.

Theoretically a kid who really wants his porn could manually add the name-to-IP entries for his favorite sites to his local hosts file, completely bypassing any DNS based filtering you might have on the network.
But Barcelona refers to a specific city; a legal entity. They want the English word Amazon to refer to a group of regions, which are not one entity, who border the Amazon river (Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil). And they call that river either Amazonas or Amazona.

Furthermore, regions like this that have an official tld get a two letter tld like .eu for European Union. If they wanted to start an Amazonian Union and get a tld for it, they should! (maybe ".aa")
Probably, but you don’t even necessarily need to have experience with both. It’s perfectly reasonable to prefer something that is familiar or compatible.

One need look no further than asking lifelong Windows owners if they would be happy with their next computer being a Mac. They’ll likely tell you hell no, whether they have used one before or not.
One more question if you don't mind.

What is your vacation policy? Fixed amount + required to take or unlimited + take what you need? I am not a big fan of the latter, but not sure how it works for others.

Thanks.
I hate these kinds of comments, but this time it's really bothering me. Actually interested in the headline, I stopped my adblocker; my fucking God, is this what normal people face regularly nowadays? It's insane...
Deep Painterly Harmonization (2018)
So your options are then:

- Cry about it and hope they change the policy (they won't)

- Accept using your cell data at school instead of their wifi (works, but is expensive)

- Bypass it using a VM (requires moderate technical knowledge, networking skills and possibly the ability to bypass vm detection)

- Reverse engineer it and crack it to behave the way you want (requires some pretty advanced technical skills)

As such, the vast majority of people will just go ahead and install it. This is the problem with these sorts of applications...

These terms are widely used today.
not necessarily, local name is Hrvatska so it's questionable if they would have assigned `.cr` had it been available. Most users of `.hr` sites are locals so it makes sense to them but have seen confusion on websites that target foreigners.

SDE in AWS working in industry for approximately 10 years.

I'm finishing up my first semester, taking graduate introduction to operating systems (GIOS), and so far I'm super impressed with quality of the program (again, not sure how the other courses compare but I hear GIOS sets the bar quite high). In addition to the rigorous curriculum, the students actively chat with one another online; the current course has a very active Slack instance — paid out of pocket by one of the TA — where people chit chat pretty much every day, many of us sharing our frustrations with the projects that, as others have mentioned, drill the theoretical concepts into your head.

In short, I'm pleased with the program so far and look forward to the rest of the courses.
Seems like they are working with pretty large scale objects
The singularity is likely a mathematical artifact of the fact that GR is insufficient to describe black holes. In reality (quantum gravity) they probably do not exist.
And allow for students to file for bankruptcy on their student loans. That will force colleges to slash their insane budgets and stop building luxury dorms, new stadiums, and lay off the countless and unnecessary admins.

Salaries for adjunct professors teaching the classes cannot get any lower, so the quality of education could remain about the same
a river isn't going to make its own websites though, so there's no need for such a TLD
A super trivial and tangental point but Fairchild was funded to make discrete semiconductors -- specifically transistors. In those days they were all assembled by hand! The chip (IC) was invented a year or so later.
Steve Jobs.

I really don't mean for that to sound in any way snarky or whatever. I'm also not trying to diminish the role Jobs played as a visionary, driving the company to create the right product. Not a Jobs cultist, and I'm also not wishing to denigrate him. It's just that, in light of the point being made, I think it really illustrates that point so well that there are only two names that I feel are championed as the heroes of the iPhone & iOS—Jobs and Ive. Sure, there are other execs who show up in keynotes/events, and they get some praise for their roles/departments ... and I think that really drives the point home. People doing the work aren't highlighted and recognized. It's the execs who get the praise, accolades, awards, etc. Maybe there are individual contributor names on patents or something, but nobody really seems to know who they are.
That isn't about the fuzz. People who live in States/Cities (everywhere but CA, right?) where lane splitting is illegal aren't used to lane splitting. They aren't sitting in their cars watching out for bikers and they'll make abrupt lane changes without even looking for you. That's incredibly dangerous. I moved from FL (lane splitting is illegal but people seem used to it) to TX (no splitting) and doing that is a death wish here.

Obviously you know your areas driving culture better than me but there's definitely places I wouldn't do that. Hell you'll probably just piss off people in TX and they'll run you over out of spite. Territorial drivers.
What Is an Adult Turnkey Solution? Read This If You Are a Newbie
I'm totally supportive of that.
Torrent files do that, a file is split into chunks each hashed separately.
You can keep them for $0 ;)
And $5 million is nothing for Amazon, especially given they're only actually spending a fraction of that as you mentioned.
Having a limited set of gTLDs decided by ICANN etc didn’t really seem a long term solution either to me. ICANN itself doesn’t really seem like a solution for a truly global distributed network either, but that’s a whole other topic.

I’m not super excited about letting anyone who can afford to run a TLD make one either, but at least so far there appears to be relatively little mainstream appetite for using them.
How to Delete Your Instagram Account Easily
The easiest solution is that startup employees should be able to sell their shares in the open market, as they please.

Then all the problems go away.
To add onto that, do your rubber duck debugging in the form of an email asking for help and explaining what you've tried so far. Maybe you'll find the solution while writing the message, and if not, just click send!
There is non-manual ways to do it (called self-calibrating), but those need many more antennas. (What you really need is good coverage of the (u,v) plane AND many more different baselines between pairs of telescopes than the number of individual antennas.) If you do not have that self-calibration fails and leads to horrible image artifact or does not converge at all. They limited the influence of the manual calibration by observing a Quasar which is basically a point source between subsequent observations of M87* to get an independent amplitude calibration.
Randomly choosing the votes sequentially with no memory is arbitrarily close to being the same thing as shuffling for sufficiently high numbers of votes.
SF startup cash comp for engineers is comfortably in the 150k-200k range, and often higher. This is series A, series B stage companies. If you have a few years of experience and are making less than this then I'm please to be able to inform you that you are underpaid.

If you have one of those incomes at the higher end, you can do these things in the bay area. If you have more than one then that stuff is not hard at all.

Berkeley has pleasant single family homes in a great school district around the $1MM mark. You can absolutely do that on $200k/year. IMO you should for sure be able to reach the mark where this is comfortable financially by the time you're around 30.
no, using the nuclear option of removing the browser outright when others work is the smart, efficient option that someone who actually works in IT with limited resources would (and should) use.

this stuff about finding all the right config files during "basic hardening" and having it just work is the stuff of armchair commenters and people who do IT/security on a well funded, sufficiently redundant team. assuming the latter would be the people in charge of school IT is hopelessly naive.
Of course Org Mode is completely different, because it can do tons of other stuff. But among it's many features, it also has lightweight markup syntax about which you could claim "if you follow these conventions when doing ASCII art formatting, the my program can transform this to HTML or whatever other format". And the conventions in Org Mode are also email-like in the sense that they don't look out of place in something meant to be plain text. (Maybe finding some large email corpus could answer which syntax is more email-like between Org Mode and Markdown, and maybe Markdown wins on that front, but my point is both syntaxes are lightweight for the most commonly needed markup.)
This is a great idea but is contingent on advances in storage. Perhaps by storing information in a more biological way (utilizing DNA, for example) instead of silicon, is the way forward.
Maybe this used to happen earlier, but I only really saw this after the DotCom bust. In my case it was founders/execs issuing themselves new/preferred stock and diluting all their coworkers into oblivion on an exit.

Granted, these were small shops ~30 people and the exits were small ~$100M, but the effects were devastating. Everyone who could quit, did. People for whom an extra few $100k would have been a big deal would throw drinks at founders in a bar. The code became an unmaintainable worthless mess and they basically failed to live up to the value they existed at.

Why would someone give the founders such a deal? If they don't care about their employees to share 10%, they probably don't care about even medium term success.
NETworkManager – Tool for managing networks and troubleshoot network problems
We're all idiots, my friend. Remembering that is the hardest and most important work we can do.
He corrected himself to say 500 billion billion kilometers after mistakingly saying light years.

I haven't done the math, but I believe that roughly equates to 55 million light years.
I’ve begun to think that differences of opinion on the benefits and/or negatives of DoH come from two different perspectives on what DNS is for.

What I perceive from the debate is generally that people who dislike DoH tend to perceive it as a network plane protocol, one that is designed for network operations and nothing more (layer 3/4 if you will).

Whereas people who tend to want privacy and the other features of DoH, perceive it as an application level concern (layer 7). In this context connectivity and discoverability of services is the aim, and knowing that the information for establishing connections to those services is correct is important to the foundations and guarantees of applications being built to utilize DNS.

In the application and services context, you may not even want a single set of recursive resolves or authorities for the system. And the reasons are to help ensure the data is focused on what you need in different contexts.

I believe that the network level concerns over DoH are a little disingenuous, and this is because there are many ways to circumvent DNS, DoH isn’t necessary, you don’t even need DNS to establish layer3/4 connections. Fighting over DoH for security that can’t truly be enforced in DNS, seems misguided.
People generally refer to that as the Amazon River.

Does anyone really say "I'm going to Amazon"?
A big part of this is just how you see the world, and perhaps how well you understand yourself. Not sure which term to use: attitude, personality, outlook, frame of mind, perspective, etc.

I have definitely had times in my career when I dreaded going to work. Like I could feel an actual physical weight on my shoulders as I drove up to the office.

In my current season in life, I can see a lot more what is good and what is bad, what I'm willing to put up with and what I'm not, what I'm good at and what I'm not, what is actually a big deal versus what is just a big deal in my mind, and so on.

That perspective will keep me more happy in any job, even ones that other people may dislike. But it also draws me to work that I know will keep me happy because I understand what contentment is in a way I didn't understand 15-20 years ago.

If I won the lottery tomorrow, would I stay in my current job? Probably not. But that doesn't mean I'm unhappy in the job -- as ways to earn money go, this one is pretty nice. But it was a circuitous path to get here, and I think the biggest lie we can perpetrate on young folks is that there is a single passion they should pursue to find their calling. Almost no one gets it right on their first try.
I don't get why Amazon would get control of the entire TLD. Can't these new TLDs be managed by some other entity which hands out domains to those that want them?
The IRS considers RSUs that don’t have an expiration date as being close enough to actual shares to be taxable income. There has to be a “substantial risk of forfeiture” to qualify for deferred taxation.
On the opposite side of this argument. I was there. I was shit in college but managed a degree and self taught programming. I was hustling hard to graduate and convince someone to hire me as a programmer even though I had no degree. I was 23 at the time.

If you are in this scenario, just you, no wife kids etc. What is wrong with working really hard on a problem? I loved the startup and it fit my perfect niche. I would grind 12 hours days, but also had lots of freedom. Remote work, unlimited days off etc. Sure at sometimes you get burnt out but you are a sponge soaking up everything you can.

now i'm 28 with wife and kids, no overtime for me. I still work extremely hard and lazer focused, but i show up at 7:30-8am and leave at 4 everyday :p
I have kind of a timer in my head. If I've worked on it for 15-30 minutes and can't get it, then the timer says "I'm probably wasting time here, time to try something else". That something else is either a new approach to solving it or, if I don't see one, then asking for help.
It's fulfilling to do that, but all successful startups go through a phase where they become more professional and hire a lot of experienced leaders. The culture the 'old' team worked to create very quickly gets diluted and replaced. Not necessarily for worse, or for bad reasons, but it's a reality that a lot of early employees find challenging.
I love technology, and i love building things. But i have to admit that i'm lucky that something i enjoy doing also pays well. If i enjoyed painting more than anything else, i probably would have been miserable. So it's not just a matter of pursing what you enjoy, it's also being lucky.
Einstein predicted the existence of black hole back in early 1915. Pretty amazing.
iOS does load it, for example http://ai/ opens just fine in iOS
Banks don't pay that well.
Many of the most popular markdown renderers do implement CommonMark, though.
First of all this whole movement to keep taxes a pain in the ass to file is extraordinarily infuriating and uniquely American in its idiocy. I'm in South Korea now and filing taxes is as simple as logging into a website, entering your SSN, and verifying that the information is correct. Completely free and takes 5 minutes.

Second, I'm tired of people blaming TurboTax. The headline says "Thanks TurboTax". No, TurboTax does not vote on laws, our Congressmen do. If any Congressman is taking bribes and voting for this bullsh!t, then the Congressmen are at fault and need to be voted out of office.

I decided to take a quick look at the bill to see if it's really as outrageous as the article makes it, but I can't even understand what the bill says. It's like a 30 page document of legalese. Where in the document does it say that the U.S. would be banned from offering free tax filings? Why the hell do laws have to be written like this to be so overly verbose and indecipherable to anyone without a law degree? There should at least be a succinct summary at the top.
> A conventional computer is, essentially, an expensive electric heater that happens to perform a small amount of computation as a side effect.

Is this really a fair analogy? Isn't it precisely the opposite? The computer performs computation and generates heat as a side effect?
That seems to be an expected thing in entertainment products. Getting in the credits is very important to one's career and place in the field(s) involved.
This is one of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen. Fascinating.

I'd just caution against doing this in some areas.

A member of a group I used to ride with decided to stop riding when someone opened their door to stop him from splitting in PA. He smacked into the door, was physically okay, but ended up getting charged with something like "illegal lane change", had his insurance prices skyrocket, and decided to stop riding as he had to drive for his job, and he was worried that another 3-point ticket would get him a 30 day suspension and he'd basically lose his job.
yeah, they're saying just route to the porn site through the custom hosts file.
