One strategy is to be adapter friendly by sticking to conventions. By adapter friendly i mean promisify and event emitter to async iterator adapter. And vice versa. And by conventions i mean things like error first. Then it might be possible to just have a .promises property that expose the api via the adapter. So that you can support many paradigms, with minimal changes to the code base.
With paradigms I mean different ways to work with async, there are probably 20 different ways that I know of if I also include ways how to run things in parallel. My personal opinion is that promises should have stayed in userland (not in ES spec) to give competing standards a chance to compete. Those wanting async/await patterns could have used co routines/generators.
The second question is readily interpreted as "Assuming Google is collecting data about a person's search activities and activities on its other applications do you expect ...". In regular english it doesn't make sense without that assumption, so the assumption becomes somewhat implicit.

The title is a little more clickbaty than what it is. It's an ankle monitor for when kids are on house arrest for juvenile crimes.

> On March 29, court officials in Chicago strapped an ankle monitor onto Shawn, a 15-year-old awaiting trial on charges of armed robbery. They explained that the device would need to be charged for two hours a day and that it would track his movements using GPS technology. He was told he would have to be given permission to leave his house, even to go to school. But he found out that through his monitor, officers wouldn’t just be able to track his location, as most electronic monitors do. They would also be able to speak—and listen—to him.

and

> In January, Cook County, home of Chicago, awarded a contract to the electronic monitoring company Track Group, which will lease 275 ankle monitors to keep tabs on children awaiting trial.
The example is far from what most would consider paycheck to paycheck.

It includes significant retirement savings (maxed 401k, full life insurance, contributions to college fund).. in addition to owning a home. Not to mention the significant spending on food + clothes, vacations.
+1 as with most things, the dose makes the poison.
The difference is whether or not you're supporting dependents (a spouse or kids).

There are many, many single people making $200k+ and doing just fine. As soon as you add kids into the picture it's not "silly" at all and it shouldn't be dismissed as poor budgeting.

We need to stop blaming individuals and start recognizing that SF and California have created a housing crisis many decades in the making.
FFX was the last one I really loved.

I think people are heavily biased towards what looks interesting to an outside observer. A child sat at a desk all day starting at a glowing screen looks like some kind of soulless zombie.

"Screens bad! Go outside and play!"

The child might be doing something mindless, or might be involved in something fascinating - creating or participating in elaborate and vibrant virtual worlds.

I think parents should seek a healthy balance for their children. But that means understanding what's happening and what it means and not trying to promote activities because of how they look on the outside. A child riding his bike around the neighborhood probably looks better to modern sensibilities than one staring at a screen, but I don't know why bike riding should be considered superior to building a world in Minecraft as an example.
We should always demand more from our governments. But we should also celebrate them for doing good. The politicians and government workers are people too, and while different people have different motivations I know that I am not alone in valuing praise from others highly.

If all someone hears is complaints, I think they are probably more likely to burn out. I don’t have any source to back this claim, but it’s how I think it is.

Yeah, I was thinking the same: most human-scalable data entry ops, like application review, is farmed out to contractors.

That said, there's no guarantee that the contractor will be assigned your application to review. Assuming there are bribes, it likely would involve multiple people which increases it's chances of being revealed and less likely to actually be happening.

>> Did you ever get reviews from women about how you were good at conversing?

> No, but women rarely respond at all so I'm not exactly surprised by that

Really? See, that's very weird to me, because I rarely saw women not respond at all. They've swiped right on you, so they've already accepted your pictures and bio, they're willing to be with you if you have a good conversation. If they weren't, why would they swipe right? Tinder, for example, limits the number of right swipes you're allowed to give over some period of time. So that right swipe truly means that all you need to do is have a good conversation with them. Again, I'm really not trying to bash you, and I personally enjoy having this debate with you on HN. But being good at a HN debate is very different from being good at a dating app conversation. I suspect that there was a problem with the conversations (despite the effort and best intentions - conversing well can be hard, especially for my/our generation). But I am sorry that you went through the pain of not getting replies most of the time - that definitely sucks.

>> Would you are cognizant of messaging social norms

// Wow, seeing that I wrote this makes me feel like such an idiot!

> I would say I actively detest messaging social norms. I write legible full English sentences just like you see here because I'm an adult. I specifically ruled out women who obviously felt differently.

Ok, perhaps this could be a big factor in why we had very different results. Unless we're surrounded by very, very, very different sets of people (or we're in very different age ranges), you're specifically ruling out most candidates. In my experience, even the people who write complete sentences in their bios will often follow messaging social norms once you start messaging with them. For a lot of people, following those social norms is required for the messages to feel casual. If I matched with someone and they used complete sentences with proper punctuation in 100% of our messages (e.g. sending "Hey." or something that looked like it could be in a letter), I would instantly feel like I'm in a more formal setting and cross them off the list of potential dates, and the most we'd become is friends. And I know people with much stricter rules about messaging social norms than me, such as feeling like things are too formal if there aren't enough emojis/memes/GIFs.

I'm not trying to convince you to change, and I respect your passion for detesting messaging social norms. But I do believe your messaging style could be a significant factor in why putting effort into conversation yields you no results. I'd be curious to see if the same happens with other people who also don't follow these norms. Thanks for all your responses!
I think part of the 'issue' is that the stats show that more women are choosing to have sex with men, and because they are not married to that man, or really can expect any modicum of partner-like support from him, it results in worse outcomes societally when children inevitably result.
So You Think Tech Conference Is Overpriced?
I accidentally published[1] my AWS secret key last year because I pushed an old project from college. At the time, I was very new to using source control and had little idea how to distinguish between what should and shouldn't be committed. I hope colleges and code boot camps go over that sort of info nowadays. The usefulness to effort to learn ratio seems exceptionally high.

I agree with this, but I also that "Do you expect" is a bad way to start the question. "Expect" can either mean what you think will happen, or what you think should happen. Given that, I wouldn't be surprised if different respondents were answering different questions. I'd say "Do you think Google is currently..."
Open Source is Open Infrastructure; and as an intellectual infrastructure we should be doing a lot more to fund it with 'tax dollars' as something that is enshrined in higher learning institutions; all of them. That would be the best way to support those interested in a career that produces open source contributions to our intellectual commons.

Unfortunately the plague that is rent seeking and patents have muddied the waters for that type of work for a long time.

Reading between the lines ("Coach instead of Gucci") this is the budget of a high-income couple keeping up with Joneses who were forced to cut into into their discretionary spending ("Gap instead of Armani") when they had two kids.
#1a is a question of figures. It would likely work better for crimes with unnecessarily long sentences, or that are unlikely to be repeated. The goal is to help keep people afloat while they build a new life. Worst case, some amount of "fraud" is probably expected and just built into the cost of the program.

#1b might be improved with proper framing. Effective politicians are good at spinning proposals a particular way. E.g. depending on who you're presenting the idea to, emphasize how the offer goes away if you break strict conduct rules, or maybe you can only do it once, or you talk about it in terms of how long it will take for the state to earn a profit, etc.

I'm not touching #2.
This clears up a lot of how this happened. A system that does not have an upper limit on number of corrections is dangerous. A system that relies on one single sensor is dangerous. A system that has both flaws is lethal.
Do you think Deep Learning can solve being charming and sexy? Maybe the general public will like auto-generated people better than the organic ones. (In this case, "organic" is technically correct, as it can be synonymous with "carbon based.")

EDIT: Come to think of it, just how hard would it be to use Deep Learning to create superhuman virtual Instagram models? I think we're closer to that than to self driving cars.

Come to think of it again, what about virtual Logan Pauls?
Yes, I read a lot about tantalums and their failure modes some years ago because we wanted to set some kind of use policy for our own products.

After a lot of research and testing we ended up forbidding the use of tantalums in our designs and taking the cost hit whenever density was an issue.

It’s a drastic measure but I think it was the right call, our products were a perfect mixture of all the things that tantalums don’t support well.

Ue rem when your reference is the base page. Use m when the refrerence. is surrounding text.

As examples, I size page elements in rem, but text elements (usally), in em.

My main, content, article, header, footer, and aside should all generally reference page, and are in rem.

Main body text width, headings (h1 ... h6), super- and sub-scripts, code and pre blocks (often jarringly sized by default) reference the containing unit and should be in em units. Also, generally, figure and table captions, table text, etc.

I prefer to give figure or sub-element (tables, callouts, note boxes, etc.) margins and paddings in em as well.
Great article!

“Kids” awaiting trial for armed robbery. (The infantilization of teenagers is ridiculous. For most of human history, young men at 15 were fighting wars. If you’re old enough to rob someone with a gun, you’re not a “kid.” Under certain circumstances it also may not be reasonable to treat you like an adult for purposes of the law, but calling the accused a “kid” is a disingenuous way to try to downplay the seriousness of his conduct.)
I would be quite interested to hear of any useful information about 'oil pulling' as I believe it to be called.

I couldn't really feel any benefit.

Netflix Axes Apple AirPlay Support
As an Android user, I am still regularly annoyed by Apple removing the headphone jack because it gave Google the "courage" to do it. And that has negatively impacted my life regularly in the past couple of years.

The main problem I have with Bluetooth headphones is that it's so much effort to switch them between devices. I have 3-4 things that I regularly listen to headphones on, and after repeatedly loosing my dongle, I just gave up and bought a separate set of Bluetooth earbuds for my phone.

It's the same in reverse with shared Bluetooth outputs like Amazon Echos and my wife and I's car. They always want to connect to whichever phone was last rather than whichever phone I'm trying to connect it to right now. I literally turn off Bluetooth on my phone whenever my wife wants to connect hers to the echo.

With the car, I previously used the aux input and let Bluetooth be exclusively for her. Now I just listen to audio through the phone speakers and don't use the car speakers at all. My car audio experience is significantly shittier than when I had a phone with an headphone jack. Thankfully, I don't drive very much.

I know there are workarounds for this, but they're all significantly more complex and expensive than a simple headphones jack.

That and, of course, it's one more battery to charge.

The original design doesn't fall apart, because it allowed multiple prefixes - LONG INT, LONG LONG INT etc - from the get go, specifically so that the list of types could be extended arbitrarily. It's not the most concise or descriptive way to name them, but that's an issue distinct from extensibility.

Personally, I think that rather than focusing on number of bits for numeric types, type systems should focus on the valid range of values, more along the lines of Pascal and Ada.
Back in ancient times, scammers placed small ads in the back of comic books and computer ad catalogs and gardening magazines and the like. I remember one case where a guy placed an ad that said, "Send $1 to [his P.O. box]" and made some money over the course of a few months before anyone complained. He didn't promise to send anything for the dollar, so iirc he wasn't prosecuted.
Tesla Cuts More Sales Staff in New Quarter
Just wondering as to why these devices are used to begin with? They don't prevent someone from re-offending or disappearing by just removing the device and destroying it, so why use it in the first place?

If someone can be trusted to not re-offend nor disappear then just trust them without the device, if someone can't be trusted then how is this device going to change anything? They'll just get rid of it and disappear at the earliest opportunity anyway.
> Many, perhaps most people don't want to think about software. It should just work and you shouldn't have to mess with it. If something is broken, they will ask for help. Somewhat cumbersome procedures are okay as long as they always work and don't change.

There are free software distributions that stick quite close to that model, such as Debian and CentOS. The problem with the Chromebook is that it is only "on support" for 5 years after release, past that it's just a brick. Plus it expects you to depend on outside "cloud" services when there's no real reason to do so - a mainstream Linux distribution won't do that.

This bit:

"The scientists mapped the different synchronized clusters that can form in a network of oscillators to that network’s symmetries. In this context, symmetries refer to the ways a network’s oscillators can be swapped without changing the network, just as a square can be rotated 90 degrees or reflected horizontally, vertically or diagonally without changing its appearance." ... "The synchronized part is one big synchronized cluster, and the desynchronized part is a bunch of single clusters"

Sounds like Chladni/Faraday patterns to me:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Chladni#Chladni_figures

The symmetry group might be the network of anti-nodes, which vibrate in common with the shared energy reflecting through the medium. The nodes seem less likely, as that's where the energy waves cancel out, thus providing less kick against the local oscillators to overcome their independent motion.

FWIW, I still see prison labor pools around Boulder even after passing that. They're not really relying on that clause, but instead the idea that the prisoners could choose not to work.

I play Fortnite almost every day for varying reasons:

- I have adult customers who like playing/talking with someone who makes what they buy.

- I have former colleagues I talk to and catch up with.

- I have gaming friends who want someone whose competitive to play with.

- I use it to decompress for the day... or add a ton of stress, depending on whether I can "edit my builds" fast enough for the dub.

tl;dr: From my perspective, Fortnite is a social network.

I have doubts about that.
