Animal agriculture is one of the top causes of climate change ( https://www.drawdown.org/solutions-summary-by-rank ). As we face a ~10 year deadline to avert climate catastrophe, now is not the time to bring back lard.
Well, lard is still used heavily for frybread[1]. Not the healthiest food, but it has an interesting evolution.

And another quote from the same Wikipedia page:

"The term pagan is not attested in the English language until the 17th century.[24] In addition to infidel and heretic, it was used as one of several pejorative Christian counterparts to gentile as used in Judaism and to kafir ('unbeliever') and mushrik ('idolater') as in Islam.[25]"

I work with Salesforce and here's the reality: they are as closed source as possible. 'No software' logo and marketing campaign was targeting sales and marketing people with an appealing idea that they no longer need to rely on IT to get shit done.Reality is that any larger organisation adopting Salesforce would end up using developers for integrations and customisations that are beyond so called point and click. 'No software' has been phased out gradually and replaced with nice looking bears,goats and etc..

In most cases, open source means it is a commodity and the business makes money from related offering. A good example is JetBrains.Kotlin language is their commodity,while the IntelliJ IDE is the product.

As an amateur video producer constantly on the lookout for even some basic (as in not grammy winning, or even "artist" quality) music to add to my work that I don't have to pay a fortune to license, but don't want it to be incredibly unoriginal, this path has me excited.
Small bits of crunch time can be fun. You really get to stay in the zone and it's really liberating. I enjoy an occasional crunch (it's very rare in my job) but after the crunch I'm done and productivity falls to near zero.

Why is he a racist and/or xenophobe? If you mean because he's criticising Islam, then I believe you are wrong.

I read his book "The strange death of Europe: immigration, identity, Islam" and found it to be balanced, copiously referenced and frankly very scary. There is currently no other group of people on this planet that I know of that is hunting down the people they dislike and executes them. Maybe the Mexican cartels.
I've given up on Electron-based apps and just use the corresponding webapp in a tab in Firefox (and if they don't offer one, I usually just do without the app). I got here because I got tired of running several extra browsers that ate up my RAM and killed performance.

An average user might not be able to connect the dots this way and realize what's going on with their machine. They'll just complain "my laptop is slow all the time and I don't know why". As developers, I feel like we have a responsibility to take better care of our users in this manner. Using a solution that will consume a GB or more of unshareable memory for something that doesn't need it (which is mostly everything) is a poor choice that puts the developer's needs (write-once-run-anywhere; faster, cheaper development time; fewer developers needed) over the user's.

So I fundamentally disagree that users only care that the app does the things they want, and nothing more.
To be clear- what I said leaves broad room for interpretation. I am by no means at deaths door. What I meant is a few things have happened for this sprint.
1) my stress level is higher
2) focus is harder
3) easier to make poor food choices
4) fatigue sets in towards the end of the week

That said Ive made adjustments that have helped
1) plan out the week of food on sunday and prepare as much as possible
2) forced excercise in the evening for 30-60 minutes
3) hard sleep boundaries.

Why does the concept of being salary always seem to go one way (more than 40)?

I worked in a place where people "worked long hours".

A typical day would go like this: around 4pm they'd declare they had a "conference call" and call a friend from a meeting room. Then they'd watch some Netflix til 7ish, then go out to dinner (probably with the friend they called), where they'd fire off several drafted emails. If someone actually responds, they'd draft a reply then send it while getting ready for bed.

When the definition of "good work" becomes subjective, "work" becomes art, specifically performance art.
Because instead of fixing bugs or adding important features I would spend my time on creating a hosted version which would not really further the project itself.

That's a fair point. Maybe you could partner with somebody who wants to focus on that side of things, while you focus on the core project, and work out some kind of revenue sharing agreement or something?
My technological goals all tend to center around the idea of bridging the gap between what computers can do and what people can imagine. Part of this manifests in UI development, but it also applies to library design and I've dabbled in things like game engine design (always with a focus on driving things via declarative, human-read/writable data) and language design. I want to be a translator between human thoughts and computer instructions.

So how do you bootstrap your company?

You choose closed source and you throw away early adopters - people are way, way less likely to try out closed source software from what I've seen. They'll even resent you for it.

You choose open source with a permissive license - you bootstrap, get users, and some larger company comes along and essentially takes it from you.

You choose GPL3 or some less permissive license and no one will ever use your software.

How do you see this working?
I propose replacing "AI" with "taint" and "blockchain" with "blockchoad".
I agree with you. I think there is a spectrum on which a person can be very reliable and not at all reliable.

I think that when seeing any unknown phenomenon there is nobody who can be 100% reliable. They can be a data point, but that should be the extent of it until more information is available.

Hmmm... node+electron solved MacOS/Linux/Windows, but the snag was I implemented everything in JavaScript, probably not doable for most folks, but for the past 4 years support has been very easy and I have encountered zero platform issues (except for icons on MacOS).

My problem is Elastic acts like the employees of that company are the only people that ever contributed code to their project. Being open source that's simply not true.

What about all of the contributors to Elastic that are not employees. Why does Elastic own the monetization of other people's work?

My take on the classical parts of it, as a classical pianist.

Overall: stylistic coherency on the scale of ~15 seconds. Better than anything I've heard so far. Seems to have an attachment to pedal notes.

Mozart: I would say Mozart's distinguishing characteristic as a composer is that every measure "sounds right". Even without knowing the piece, you can usually tell when a performer has made a mistake and deviated from the score. The mozart samples sound... wrong. There are parallel 5ths everywhere.

Bach: (I heard a bach sample in the live concert) - It had roughly the right consistency in the melody, but zero counterpoint, which is Bach's defining feature. Conditioning maybe not strong enough?

Rachmaninoff: Known for lush musical textures and hauntingly beautiful melodies. The samples got the texture approximately right, although I would describe them more as murky more than lush. No melody to be heard.
That's correct, as the nim's generated C code is not idiomatic.
While this fundamental misunderstanding - or more likely to me lack of pedestrian vernacular - is common (see FB), I think the authors intent is correct.

Snap, FB, etc are monetizing user data by allowing advertisers to transact on that audience data, off these platforms' main apps across.

Just need a better, yet still widely understandable, verb/description. I'm not sure I can think of one with just one or two words. Transact upon user data seems to come close, maybe leverage user data to sell targeted ads

That was the most interesting part of the Mother Jones article to me. If you compare people who average 43 hours a week (but claim they are averaging 50), the folks who think they are working 70 should be working about 20 hours more a week. But it's only 12. Pretty amazing.

Unfortunately, due to LLVM bugs, the Rust developers had to disable that optimization, more than once. I don't know whether the "1.13.0-nightly" he used has that optimization enabled or disabled.

I've tinkered with 'hobby grade' acrylic painting with robots before [1] and this is a wonderful paper. Getting the visual feedback on brush strokes alone working well is impressive.

Always nice to see art robotics progressing along.

You don't really need advanced targeting analytics when your content is narrow enough and draws a particular type of reader.

In our case, readers are likely interested in office design/office furniture products because all we do is publish office design project images and information.

People like this generally consider seat and monitor warming as work. Is a butt keeping the seat warm and the mouse moving enough to keep the computer from going to sleep? If so, it is work.
It's a tough subject. Most saturated fats either come from animals, tropical plants or are produced synthetically via hydrogenation. The trajectory seems to have been animal to partially hydrogenated plant oil to tropical oils. I don't think palm or coconut oil is going to compare favorably to lard from a purely environmental perspective. The world is burning down the last of the rainforest to make room for palm oil plantations.

The most rational solution is to go back to hydrogenated oil. The partially hydrogenated oils in Crisco and margarine contain trans fats, which are clearly unhealthy and should be avoided. However fully hydrogenated oil does not have this problem. Unfortunately I doubt the consumer is going to be able to appreciate this difference. I lump this solution with nuclear power: clearly the best solution but too scary to be adopted by the public.
The calories aren't the issue; as far as I know butter and margarine have about the same amount per serving. Margarine was preferred because it was thought that the saturated fat in butter was going to clog your arteries and kill you.
A lot of this process goes beyond NN into generic ML. Especially understanding and diving into the data.
> When people first look at ways to cheat in a team sport, I would argue that using them for target practice (in a ball sport that is) is a suitable lesson.

While that will happen, as I said, as the rules exist now, house rules and social moderation are needed. If this were to graduate to "league play", then those types of penalties would need to be made as I'd argue its more difficult to enforce "target practice" against competition (or that you're only fueling the "there aren't enough rules" problem).

Why should a company value candidates' time?

Edit: To be clear, corporations are morally bankrupt slow AI whose goals are increasingly tangential to ours. However, their proponents must have _some_ justification for valuing what we value (in this case, candidates' time), or else admit the above moral bankruptcy.

I am not being sarcastic, I am challenging this forum's many corporatists to reassure me that corporations are motivated to accommodate a basic decency represented by valuing candidates' time.

Downvotes on a simple question, as usual, evidence this forum's continued inadequacy as a harbor for empirical discussion.

I am not trolling, nor sarcastic. I am simply ignorant of the corporatist argument for valuing candidates time.

For me frying anything on lard smells just horrible and I still remember, from my late childhood, meat and onions fried on lard that gave me huge stomach ache every time I ate them.

When it comes to frying I prefer anything other than lard. It's only slightly above used motor oil.

You choose closed source and you get different early adopters. You don't get the same early adopters that try out every new open source project, and that's OK because you're not trying to run an open source project, you're trying to build a business. The people who would resent you for being closed source are just not your target market, and that's OK.

Open source is a choice. You get a lot of early adopters, yes, but the project is also completely out of your control. There's nothing stopping anyone else from taking it, putting more resources into it, and stealing your thunder.

If you're not happy with that idea, just don't make your code open source. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
In case it wasn't clear: I don't have a problem with the moderation on HN. But elsewhere in this same thread we have HN users denouncing Mozilla's good-faith efforts to reduce harassment and fake news on the internet as "censorship", so you'll forgive me for not parsing the narrow distinctions between different varieties of "no longer visible to 99% of users".
> “We found that on days when managers reported high email demands, they report lower perceived work progress as a result, and in turn engage in fewer effective leader behaviors,” says Johnson.

It seems this is largely a disparity in expectations of work. The managers self-reported feeling like they got less done when replying to more emails. But isn't supporting their team and being able to rapidly answer questions often part of a manager's job? And if not, perhaps they are in the wrong role.

I would be more interested in measuring overall team productivity, not just the manager's self-reported version. I think you might find that the high-email-throughput teams do get more done with that extra emailing, even if the manager feels like they have been less productive.
OK you finally confused me enough that I had to click through your link and read. I was somewhat disconcerted that the first thing I read was "please don't distribute this link publicly" (was that ironic?). Later on when discussing the crux of this thread (is there a significant difference between speech and other physical actions?), the author dropped an "[as] I’ve argued in previous work..." on us. There is reference to the mind-body problem, and there is some teasing about apparent contradictions perceived in random writings about speech, but no actual argument on this particular topic exists at this link.

Like much contemporary philosophy, this whole thing misses the forest for the trees. Toward the end the author quoted Schauer thus:

The ache, it seems to me, is caused by the fact that although the answer to ‘Must speech be special?’ is probably ‘Yes’, the answer to ‘Is speech special?’ is probably ‘No’.”

Can we just accept this as a compromise? Truth is less important than practice. Authorities at every level seek constantly to police the acceptable boundaries of public thought. They do this for their own interest. The justice system is not and cannot be perfect, especially in defending the public from that policing. A special status for speech is an important bulwark against authoritarianism.
the problem to the scaling thing is that we don't nearly have as many samples per artist as we do have "text pointed to by links on reddit", as used in GPT2 (openAi's text generation thing). I would expect that they can't go as crazy as they could
>> This is why I like the GPLv3 license. Sure it excludes my work from ever being considered in a large corporate project but I'll never have to worry about being beaten over the head with my own product by one of them either.

Not true. Even GPL code is able to have proprietary modifications so long as the code stays in-house. As a cloud provider, Amazon can do an end run around the license by simply providing access to your code (with their proprietary modifications) via Web APIs.

That was the root of the whole MongoDB debacle, and several minor skermishes with Redis Labs.
Yes! I was actually recommended here on HN. I did however not make it into the second season. All episodes where pretty much the same so it became boring for me. Maybe I'll give it another chance.
I use the Armor brand lard for pie crusts or anything that requires lard. There is another brand of lard that is sold in one pound containers shaped like butter containers. I have found that brand (snow.. something or other) has had a rancid taste about every time I've bought it.

The directions for making pie crusts using butter usually instruct the freezing of the butter cubes before working it into the dough so that it doesn't blend too much upon working with it.You might try spooning the lard into a bowl and putting it in the freezer for a few minutes to harden it a little. The trick with pie crusts and biscuits seems to be not over working the dough. Just work the ingredients enough to be the right stickiness and your good to go.
Dart and Flutter are both BSD licensed, so presumably the discussion of "proprietary" is at least somewhat orthogonal to whether it has an open source license.
