Are you from my former employer? :)

Joke aside, what you said above also applied in my case to my ex German employer in Eastern Europe. We got cheap machines with half the specs of the German counterparts but the management in The Mother Land expected the same productivity as the German colleagues.

Now, having migrated West to Austria(similar culture to Germany) tings don't get better an all accounts, even if you speak German. Sure, now you get nicer machines, and even if you manage to negotiate a salary close to local levels, your career development opportunities are close to zero as management will only propose the locals for promotions and trainings as those are the guys managers spend their lunches and cigarette breaks with, even if they're mildly incompetent. You'll be left as that guy who just needs to sit as his desk, do what he's told and be grateful to his masters he's been given a job as if you're coming form a country of goat hearders.

This horrible discriminatory culture in EU countries is not something the EU can't fix unfortunately and it's one of the reasons countries like Germany or the EU as a whole will never catch up to the US on innovation or salaries in tech.
I used an M16A1 extensively in the 80s without issues. Not sure when they fixed things. Some of my peers had the M16A2, but most didn't.
Ok here’s a good one. Photo apps already do face recognition. It would be neat if you could add a birth date to each person and have it show you side by side photos of kids or relatives when they were the same age.

I think that would be really popular with parents and you’d get some organic growth by people posting to social media.
This is great. I was travelling recently and had this exact idea as planning the trip and dropping pins on Google maps sucked. I was not able to plan an ideal route and see adjustments. I wanted to make something exactly like this. There are a lot of product improvements you can make with this and I am excited for you!

My one suggestion would be to broaden the intended audience. I am not sure if this is only useful for hosts. I could just want to do this as a traveler who has read a bunch of suggestions online.

Best of luck!
How were they finding the cast in the same room again?
Don't you see that youtube video, he did publish.
Pony's actors are also cooperatively scheduled; Erlang's "killer feature" (or one of them, at least) is the ability to have lightweight preemptive processes.
Photography in the early 2000s. Made enough to level up my gear multiple times over. Renovated houses from 03-07. But now my money making side projects are programming-based.

Where’s the text of the poem? This article used to have the text, along with transcriptions in Mandarin and Cantonese.
That sounds like something I would notice, and is thus outside the scope of this discussion.
> “There’s people who don’t want change. They like the schools the way they are,” she said. “The same people who don’t like Summit have been the sort of vocal opposition to change throughout the process.”

It makes sense that the company would respond this way: those who oppose them aren't customers, just the people forced to use the product.
I sleep a lot
Launched in 2016 for free. Started making money in 2018 with $3,000+ MMR. Referral only (side) business. I work full-time as an engineer/principal in growth.

I conduct a form of ethnography, embedding myself in the lives of consumers the way Margaret Mead did among Samoans. I interviews my subjects and the people around them, itemizing the contents of their home (photographing and videotaping), and accompany them as they progress through their day. Then I sift the resulting information for weeks, even months, looking for connections and telltale behaviors.

The service is used mostly by founders for small businesses and startups. I takes questions about sales figures and product lines and reconfigures them into questions about worlds, the context in which people unthinkingly live their everyday lives. The idea is that examining the beliefs and unconscious biases that people have will eventually yield profitable insights for these businesses.

So far, I've done market entry for a few Chinese companies into Japanese market, helped indie game design company launch a successful game, a boutique lingerie shop launch a new summer line, street musicians, and a few cafes and bars.

I do this on the side with hopes to go full time into it soon.
Interesting. I only have experience with the occasional simple (manual) purge and I could verify the object was invalidated quickly. Can you elaborate on an example config where this goes awry?
Silliness. Why has the 40 hour week persisted? Market forces. Climate change? Market forces. The persistence of the slave trade? Market forces. Prostitution and human trafficking, opioids, disintegration of the family, Facebook; all your good friend “market forces”.
I remember seeing some TuxCart arcade machines in the Middle East last time I visited. Really wasn’t expecting an open source game to be in an arcade! But after thinking about it, it makes tons of sense: no royalties just the cost of the cabinet and sticks.
Kidnapping: An Efficient Business
That's how I discovered it! A local place included it in a "different beer" flight they were doing. I went back two weeks later and they were out, so I had to figure out where to find it bottled around here.
Vulnerable World Hypothesis (Bostrom) [pdf]
There is no power imbalance except for the ones you create for yourself. A company doesn’t have much power over an employee willing to walk away for some other job.
I think there is. For authenticating “near” devices via ultrasound.
IBM doesn’t belong; their revenue has been flat for 20 years and they have almost no influence in the tech world anymore. My clients view IBM as a consulting company with a market position somewhere between Infosys and Accenture.

On the other hand, Microsoft is still quite relevant to the future; Azure is getting a lot of traction in the enterprise world as an alternative tech stack to AWS. VSTS is rapidly displacing the whole Jira ecosystem and VS Code needed 6 months to become one of the most popular development tools.

Yeah, man, but I'm doing well. I'm awake at 0730 San Francisco time after sleeping more than 8 hrs before, I eat a balanced breakfast, time my lunch and dinner appropriately, deadlift a respectable-though-not-special 350 lbs, run a 6 min mile, make about half a mil a year, have friends I love dearly and who love me, and everyone I know closely has a good life.

Some dumbass downing Red Bull to type `console.log("got here")` for the fiftieth time in the last 36 hrs without sleep isn't on my level.

All these things aren't things for Mr. Red Bull. They're for me trying to close the gap in productivity to Carmack.

Or rather that's all true for my friends. I can only deadlift 345.
Wow, I had never heard about this. That’s really cool!
Zelda OoT and Majora's Mask are still extremely playable. I go through them probably once a year.

And you've got Mario Kart 64, the best version for playing Kario Mart (finish a beer before the race ends), Mario Party 2, smash 64. On and on.

The iPhone isn't an eyesore, but it's definitely of it's time.

How you started?
Because there's no other way to properly implement instant push notifications for one thing. All modern email clients (like Spark, etc.) do that.
Mate, not everything in the world moves as fast as the Javascript ecosystem. There are some hard laws at hand, called physics, that limit what you can lit under a rocket and get propulsion. Oxygen needs to be there. A combustible needs to be there as well. This is known since the 19th century. It just turns out that RP-1 is a good choice.

Given the same chemical reaction, improving the engine efficiency state-of-art by 50% in 50 years is astounding. With Raptor they are actually getting close to the theoretical limits.

What other expectations do you have for advancements? New chemicals are hard to get by. Nuclear is beyond contemplation. You can't invent new physics. What do you expect?
It’s Kansas. Public education funding was gutted.

That said, the number of parents working in Silicon Valley who would send their kids to a school that worked like this is very low. The closest thing would be Alt-School which pretty much failed.

So on one hand, the hypocrisy is annoying. On the other hand, these schools have no money so maybe this helps them stay open at least.
Right, I hear your point, but we have a interdisciplinary discovery problem. No one studying the history of the Moai saw it.
Then I don't know why you brought up Merlin at all because there's no Merlin engines involved in this anomaly. The Crew Dragon is not as revolutionary as other things they're doing, but it does have an integrated abort system that hasn't been done before as far as I know.
Watch all the cppconn videos
I have a 2 ton cement block which we leave out in the fields with our goats, and they play on it. We had to move it once to change where some fences ran, and I had nobody to help. So I just jacked it up then knocked over the jack a few times, and it was moved.

I've since come to the conclusion that when you mix simple tools with a bit of brainpower, you can accomplish far more than people would ever believe.

"It is unclear if Trump/Sanders have some policy / ideology that was amenable to Russian interests or if Russia was simply amplifying whichever candidate it thought would be generally bad for America."

There is I think some evidence from past activity in eg Ukraine that Russian propaganda often takes all sides and infects them with distortions, contradictions and general confusion such that anyone trying to work out what might actually be happening in reality, can't.
Here’s one. Recommend where to place things in your kitchen to minimize movement, congestion.

This would be tricky with an app but maybe.
Definitely, all traffic is readable by CloudFlare. Whereas if you have your own SSL certs everything going through the "normal internet infrastructure" is encrypted (in theory your webhost is able to get to it, but definitely not as easily - and this is only an issue if you rent a server).

On top of that there are many arguments against CloudFlare when it comes to an open and decentralized internet.

EDIT: didn't read the Philosophically in your comment. CloudFlare does many things against an open internet, for a long time they blocked (or required excessive captchas) for all TOR users.
You really pricked my interest here: where do you think central Europe is exactly, especially in comparison with western and eastern?
How do they account for uneven ground and a softer surface? I would think that weight would sink in the soil slightly and be too heavy to push out of the depression.
The idea that children should spend their days staring at screens and never interacting with other human beings seems really sick. But oh so on brand for the Valley.
Do machine learning on the subreddit cozyplaces. Then have an app where users can upload pictures and you can tell them how cozy it is.

The market is distorted by the government. Smaller, independent companies cannot compete with foreign slave labor.

Low tariffs and high domestic taxes is a recipe for large corporations consolidating the supply chain in every industry.

Low wages are a symptom of government control, no other reason.
There are only 3 meanings used in that sentence.

You just have to pry open your Zelda cart to solder on a new battery for the static RAM :)
I'm a lawyer who doesn't do much (any) marketing. But when someone gets referred and calls or sends an email asking for help with setting up an LLC, helping wind-down or sell their business, or even something small like reviewing an NDA, I can jump in.

I'm solo, so I don't have any overhead and I can charge far less than anyone else. This is also entirely a side gig, so volume is so low that I can be responsive, helpful and more like a thought partner who is also helping out on legal.
Online? If yes, which platform do you use?
Edit: nevermind, saw facebook and build tool and assumed it was site assets. Note to self, read whole articles before commenting.
Thank you! That's a good point - admittedly, as time goes by, I hear a lot of people who might be interested in this for planning their trips. I just didn't think of that initially, but I think I should incorporate that further.

I'd be really happy to make any improvements or changes that will make it easier for you to try the tool for your next trip. So feel free to drop me an email at david <at> davidovic.io :)
>> because market forces will mostly solve only small "consumer" problems and cannot reorganise our society in a more efficient way.

That's true.

But also, can most people really, truly, contribute to big, important problems in our society - in the context of globalization and automation ?
Yes, that's true. But what is pyramidish about grad school is the the idea that most doctoral students have going in that they are going to get a tenure track position at the end. That can't work because one professor may mentor dozens of grad students over time, and while universities may be growing, they aren't growing that fast. Of course being a professor isn't the only thing you can do with a doctorate, and lately schools are pointing out that you can go into industry or become a patent lawyer or whatever, but except in maybe CS or engineering, that isn't typically what people wanted to get a doctorate for.

Wow, looks like "here cometh the downvotes" homeboy couldn't take the criticism and flagged every comment he disagreed with.
Mine actually hasn't died yet. My Pokemon red and blue carts need new batteries, but OoT is still going. Wouldn't expect any less from the GOAT. (You kids these days wont get why it's the GOAT, but it is).
> Their engineers were very unprofessional during the technical interview and complained A LOT about technical debt left by past co-workers during the interview.

That was them just warning you: "Dude you won't hear it fom HR and I am not allowed to tell you directly but you most likely don't want this job."
Tried everything:
youtube channel,
multiple tutorial websites,
music video making/videography,
photography, for artists and bands,
and finally sound design and mixing

The last one is the only that is actually working somewhat

I’m sorry that this is your world view, because it is deeply flawed and focusing on such cynicism leads to depression.

Most of HN lives in a tech bubble where everyone is focused on building semi-useless software like you describe. However the majority of society still does “normal” things like construction, manufacturing, sales, etc. and some sort of fundamental reorganizing of society on non-market principles doesn’t change that someone needs to maintain our physical infrastructure and keep the lights on.

The economy is not a zero-sum game. If I make more money there is not someone else losing. The more jobs there are, the more needs fulfilled, the more services provided the better it is for everyone as more money moves around.

It’s not on someone else to tell me what I should and should not want. If I desire it and a company provides it for a price, it doesn’t matter that the smart refrigerator is a waste in your vision. The market demands, and entrepreneurs provide.
Theres a reason why it was profitable, low labor costs

Reading the latest ozone assessment report [0] I was reminded again how impressive that reaction really was. Between deciding this really is a problem in 1985 (Vienna Convention) and banning the problematic substances (Montreal Protocol) in 1987 there are two (2!!!) years.

And if you look at the plots eg on page ES.23 you can see the expected effects of the Kigali amendment of 2016, where the replacement gases used instead of the previously stopped ones with large climate effects were also banned.

This is the only actually positive thing I've ever seen in the context of climate change. There are at least 0.3°C saved temperature increase until 2100 due to this change.

Of course the source of that problem was simpler and easier to fix, but still, this makes me a little happier. How can we repeat this success?

Commit messages are great for explaining the order in which things happened and talking about changes that apply to disparate pieces of code.

I would still argue that comments should explain why code has changed over time -- comments should provide context for someone editing the code, which can include descriptions of what the code used to do, why it has changed, why it hasn't changed (what was already tried and why it wasn't good enough), what else would be impacted by a change, and information about the quality of the code (is it a quick hack, or has it been optimized extensively?)

Naturally you don't need to supply all of this, and if the code is changing very frequently it might be easier to put that stuff in a commit message. (It also helps when you use small, pure functions, because they tend to not need much context to understand.)
I miss the gameboy. My old Gameboy Color got something like 35 hours on a couple of AAs.[1]

I kept that thing around for a long time, because it was great for flights and road trips.

Nowadays I stick to podcasts (an iPhone can run a long time with wifi off just playing audio) but I wish more manufacturers would focus on battery life instead of folding up phones like a wallet.

I really wish more people would find the great work of Joe called Erlang.

Unfortunately, I feel like the raw performance scores on the various benchmark websites (which show Erlang near last) is a major contributor to the small’sh adoption.

Erlang really needs an initiate like Ruby’s 3x3. Where they are striving to 3x the perf of Ruby
The real answer. After a loooong day at work my brain shuts down completely when i'm at home. Gaming, sleeping and going out for dinner is enough.

I saw a man wearing a Game Boy Advance with Pokemon Yellow as the pendant of a big chain around his neck a few days ago while riding the train.

I couldn't imagine doing that when I got one. It was so precious to me then, but now the GBA is practically worthless except to archivists and the sentimental.

It makes me wonder if someone will be doing wearing a necklace made of an iPhone in a couple of decades.

What is this "GOAT"? Is it what kicked the llama's ass? ;)
Anyone looking to dabble with similar 68k machines might enjoy the MiSTer FPGA Console, which also re-implements the X68000:

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/X68000_MiSTer

It pairs a Cyclone V with dual-core ARM, a HDMI scaler and SD-RAM for latency.

It's just an incredible project, in breadth & depth.
That's an Amiga 1200 ;)
How long ago do you have to arrive in a place to be “indigenous”?
I fully support challenging writing that has a deeper meaning and that forces you to think about it to truly understand the author's larger concept. But there's an awful lot of stuff that is closer to a Rorschach test, where by thinking hard enough you can create your own signal from the noise.

It's much easier to create the second type than the first, and superficially it's really hard to tell them apart. Like a complicated looking puzzle that turns out to have no solution, your mind may manage to make some random connections, but ultimately it's not teaching you any kind of better way of thinking. You can waste a lot of time trying to extract the true deeper meaning when there's none there.

It's a treasure to find someone who can have an elder act rudely toward them and reflect, "I also felt like, hey, this is a great moment, sad and interesting and funny. This is what old people do. You will do this one day, and you will not know you are doing it." It's easier when, like the writer, you are not around that person all the time, but it's an excellent viewpoint that allows people to enjoy older people who are losing perspective, but still have much to offer.
I have a degree in aerospace engineering, so I'm quite aware of all these limitations. What irks me about SpaceX is Silicon Valley-style marketing ("pushing the boundaries of spaceflight technology") being imported into what is in reality an extremely mature field where we have hit some pretty hard walls on possible advances. It's also immensely disrespectful to the folks who designed this technology two generations ago (back when it wasn't already proven), to act like you're "pushing the boundaries" when the main thing you're doing is cost-optimizing well-established designs.
