There was one on HN last year where Navy pilots saw an object hover above the water then shoot up 10,000 feet in a matter of seconds, hover there, then come back down to the surface. It bounced up and down like that several times then shot off into space. One pilot said the bouncing seemed like a preparation for its eventual takeoff. It was confirmed by Navy radar.

There was a great interview last night on Tucker Carlson where the expert said there are basically two possibilities that the military should explore: one of our terrestrial enemies has an aviation capability more advanced than ours, or an extraterrestrial civilization has capabilities more advanced than us. Of course, there could be some sort of natural phenomenon we don't know about. In any event, it is worth investigating in a rational way.
"When Gallup investigated the responses more closely, it found that being under 50, earning a low income and having a dim view of President Trump’s job performance were correlated with negative experiences among adults in the United States."

I'm sure the media plays a huge part in this. Realistically speaking, American's lives are practically no different than before Trump was elected, yet almost all major media outlets produce Trump-centric outrage bait every day. If people actually looked at their own personal experiences vs what the media tells them to think about, they would probably be a lot less stressed out (about that issue in particular). The New York Times is ironically one of the top purveyors of Trump flavored stress.
As somebody who wants to hide every aspect of who I am regardless, I don't find this a particularly compelling argument. I'll admit it's easy for me to say, but I'm less concerned about receiving stateless baseless threats than to have my entire life cataloged and foreseen by surveillance machines.

I suspect this is a big part of the divide between the old guard "nobody knows you're a dog" and the new "broadcast your identity". I turn to the Internet to not be participating in the monkeysphere. Any trace I leave behind is due to laziness rather than intent.

I do have to wonder how much this is just inevitable "normie" human behavior, and how much it has been stoked by companies pushing realname policies and profile selfies.
Oh it is amazing as so many sounds we miss out upon as they get drowned out so easily. Be that other sounds or human materiels effecting how existing sounds travel (nice simple example would be over-ear headphones, you can hear people speak, most sounds over them and yet they completely drown out a cat purring loudly).

I've been playing with contact microphones the past year and recently made a balanced one myself that eliminates a lot of the noise such types of high impedance microphones pick up. The sounds you can hear in nature are amazing, just that you usually have to get away from it all just to be able to hear nature at play. But with contact microphones, you can open up a whole new level of sounds, think of them as microscopes for audio. But a simple piezo contact microphone is easy to make and if you have the equipment to take a balanced input signal, then for the extra cost of the extra piezo disc and 3 wire cable, that can be done just as cheaply.
You will also need a pre-amp and though most things you can plug a microphone into will have some preamp that will get you started. Myself, I use a Zoom H4N pro portable audio recorder. Can get cheaper options, even projects that people have made their own form of portable recorder. But if you just want to listen, a simple preamp (can make one or buy one cheap enough) and some over-ear headphones, will get you into another world of sounds in everyday life that we miss out upon. Like I said earlier - it is like an audio microscope and opens up so much we miss out upon.

One thing you will learn, most nature programs you see upon TV, mess about/fake and play with the real sounds actually made in nature with a bias towards faking it and a penchant of layering so many effects that it makes autotune look like an angel in the music world for any purist. Bit like finding out about the actual status of Santa after years of childhood idolisation :).

But so many sounds we miss out upon. Equally we are very limited in our senses, Ultraviolet photography in nature shows us this. Sounds are just the same with our limited hearing, but that doesn't stop us. Bat listening devices exist and open up a another way of exploring the World around us.

If your into geeking out, you could use an array of contact microphones, sound identification and with placement, work out the timing and with triangulation - track all the earthworms. That would be a fun project, but probably low-down on many a project list.
I once stood up, as an intermediate level software engineer, in a meeting with executives and senior managers and senior engineering leadership, and identified multiple areas where a consultancy, who we were entering into a partnership with, was utterly full of shit. Isolating not only where the technical solutions wouldn't meet the technical challenge, but also in areas of outright legal / regulatory violation.

You know what I got for it? I was asked not to return to the meeting that afternoon. They went forward and everyone was happy and confident that everything would be perfect. I didn't get a promotion that year, and I do believe it was in no small part because of the fact that I called out specific instances of bullshit, and I earned a reputation that persisted there as a person who torpedoes progress.

Well... ~3 years after that meeting, and having watched many millions of dollars evaporate, we're in litigation with that consultancy. Yet, the people who made those original decisions had gone from manager to Director or VP. They go on to make other insanely stupid fucking decisions, without consequence, and with an even wider reach because of their shiny new titles. Wasting more and more resources and causing pain for the folks under them.

There's no justice here. The bullshitters have won.

Not sure if I gave off the wrong impression, but I am not a proponent of having only sum types and discarding hierarchies; as you well mentioned each is well-suited to specific usecases.

I do however disagree on subclassing being the best fit for UI code. "The Elm architecture" as well as the model presented by React functional components with hooks offer sets of tradeoffs that I at least have found are better for most of the development I find myself doing when writing (and particularly when maintaining) regular business frontends.
that qualifies as censorship in my book.

It'd be interesting to know how they came to the decision to focus on the negative emotions in the article.

My knowledge is limited in crypto, but I'm pretty sure you should never trust a root cert (even for "IPSec only") unless it carries responsibility and public scrutiny equal to or greater than a standard CA. (Unless it's the owner of the device [including you] or a close associate you trust.)
That video was super-helpful. I believe he is a CS instructor, and his methods are easy to explain and understand, unlike a lot of class that just rush the students into learning bunch of technology before really learning how to think like a programmer.

Also there's his follow up video where he solves the puzzle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5VKyKvgyRs). Another helpful video is him teaching how to go through a program by hand, using pen and paper (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ahejeuasf0)
Amen. Gitlab is to GitHub what AWS is to DigitalOcean. GitHub is great don't get me wrong, especially for open source general releases. But gitlab lets you actually build pipelines and fully integrate a bunch of services. They're the best CI/CD service around, honestly, and I think they've been playing to that strength. On top of that they have excellent project management, which makes them a lot more suitable than GitHub for company project's imo.
In a lot of industries, the main factor is your network, and you just need A, B, and C to be adequate to check the boxes.

If that's the case, and someone's trying to hire you because someone they trust thinks you can get the job done, the question is whether or not a nanodegree can allow your interviewer to check a box for "has training in X" that will make the difference in sliding your resume past HR's desk.

This may be academically interesting, but the music still sounds fake enough to be unpleasant (i.e. there's no way I'd spend any time listening to this voluntarily).
In another piece of writing advise I read, the author said not to use physical descriptors in place of names (such as "the redhead") because it reduced the character to a single aspect.

Also I can't tell what's wrong with Jackson's passage: I assume it has something to do with Graves/gravely, but I don't know why it's wrong.

All in all, writing code seems much easier for me.

> But there still isn’t enough data to say for sure whether any of those factors were behind the feelings of stress, worry and anger.

The United States is under attack from Russia. We are involved in a propaganda war, a real physical war attacking our election infrastructure, and the President encourages it to continue while cutting/removing our ability to secure our elections and defend our democracy. He states that he is intent on not leaving office peacefully in the future and that he likes China's one-party for life.

I get that this may not be conclusively proven to increase stress on Americans, but I would be _shocked_ if it were not a major contributing factor. Every single person I've spoken to IRL about the Trump-related-stress-and-depression concept eagerly agrees that this is weighing heavily on people in a very constant, deep and personal way.

Obviously, personal finances, job security, and other close things are likely equally or more important. But Trump has also eliminated many people's feelings of financial security or job security, as he has personally chosen to hold paychecks from a million people on a racist vendetta, directly removing those people's personal income while still demanding they work.

Surely it can be said that at least for some large portion of Americans, it is true that Trump's policies and behavior on the job _Are_ hurting us.
There are many alternative hypotheses to your rather provocative and insulting one.

As China's prominence or output rise, it makes sense coverage would rise too.

It also makes sense that as China has more impact on the world, it will naturally affect the interests of a greater number of people. This in turn, means more people have a stake in something China is or isn't doing.
IMO, it's just a DNS black hole with a slick interface.

And something, something some rsync and ftp and you've got Dropbox. Yes, Pi-Hole is just dnsmasq with a pretty face, which is precisely why I use it. $50 for a Pi starter kit, and as soon as it hits your mailbox, you are about 20 minutes away from living the #adfreelife (and most of that 20 minutes will be redirecting your network after install. Where the hell are the docs for this router?).

Sometimes I'm content to manually tweak JSON files all evening. And sometimes I just want to plug it in and pretty much works out of the box. Ad filtering on my network falls into the unsexy latter bucket of "just give me something that requires a minimum of yak shaving".

Are you using apps/services on these devices that don’t offer an ad-free option

Yes, the NYT as one example. The app still has ads. I continue to pay for the NYT to support good journalism. I don't get to pick both, so I choose to continue to pay.

A device in my house went nuts and decided it needed to ping an NTP server 1K a night. Not anymore.

In the end, I kind of get the impression you're spending more mental energy on arguments against, rather than ask yourself why someone might find it useful. I could come up with quite a list of reasons with just casual thought.
Blaming a temporary administration for the problem gives them a new enemy every cycle, keeping you distracted from the larger issues and problems.
We can probably do this forever :)

It's clear you've done a lot of secondary research. I am, too, very familiar with the situation in Canada and have done a lot of advocacy work here. I would suggest that the standards are not quite as rigorous or well defined as you might have been led to believe (I've spent time at several panels put on by Health Canada and engaged with many "experts" that have led me to that conclusion).

If you're seriously considering donating, I'd encourage you to engage with more human beings and do some primary research - recipient parents, offspring, and other donors - rather than just relying on your (certainly useful, but empathetic-aly limited) secondary research.

This is one of the more active communities of said types of people:

I think it's worth nothing that traditional camouflage aims to break up the transition between the object and the background so the outline of the object cannot be properly seen and therefore the object cannot be picked out from the background.

Dazzle works not to prevent detection of the shape/outline but to prevent any further information from being discerned (e.g. heading, precise shape and distance).

Depending on the kind of system you're trying to fool the former approach may be far easier.

I once saw a woman wearing black and white patterned leggings that perfectly replicated the intended effect of dazzle. I think that with clothing that isn't skin tight and therefore does not perfectly match the shape of one's body it would be even easier to pull off.
>The findings were not all bleak for the United States. Despite having widespread negative experiences, Americans also generally reported more positive experiences, on average, than the rest of the world did.

So we have both. But that isn't in the headline because it wouldn't be clickbaity enough.

I honestly wonder how much of American's stress over the past few years is because of this crap. We are constantly told the sky is falling by new articles only to have it not be the truth.

> "if you want to work here, you are going to do what I say."

I recently started pointing that out, in a roundabout way, when I run interviews.

Why? If a candidate starts arguing about xml versus JSON, the candidate misses the point when I bring up xml. (Hint, I only discuss xml because it allows discussing widely known concepts that are very general and have little to do with xml versus JSON.)

Or, if a candidate says to me, "why can't we use async-await" in a particular question, the candidate also misses the point of the question. (Hint, I'm trying to test knowledge of concepts that's easy to test when doing something without async=await.)

Interview questions are always contrived and end up as an "if you want to work here, you are going to do what I say" exercise. If a candidate can't work within the constraints of a short interview exercise, then what will happen when the constraints of the job come into play? We never get to use our favorite patterns and APIs all the time.
On Windows you can't do anything with super (AFAIK); you are stuck with what Microsoft provides you and that's it.

Most Linux desktop environments (Gnome, KDE, etc.) provide default mappings that involve super, but they can all be changed freely by the user. So you can get rid of Win+L or change what it does (at least on KDE, or if you are using just a WM like i3).

macOS is just weird, with the cmd/ctrl split.
The fact that hash rate doesn't go down much during halvings or during market crashes indicates that mining is not in equilibrium. I don't think equilibrium has ever been reached since ~2011.

Yeah, at this point inside US cities the majority of pumps have been moving to the model of grocery stores with pumps attached, and that model still works with chargers augmenting and then replacing pumps, because grocery stores generally are useful places to charge while you shop. (Just as malls seem to be good places to add chargers, if you expect and/or want people to linger/browse while they charge.)

Convenience stores and restaurants will still be useful on the highways with or without gas pumps around. (People will always need to use a restroom or grab some grub on long road trips.)

I figure some smart "medium fast" food restaurant that benefits from a lingering dining experience, but doesn't take too much advantage of it (ie, doesn't actively slow the diner down), will integrate chargers into their franchise plans and become the new king of the highways in the way that MacDonald's (and regionally, Waffle House) became synonymous with pit stops along the open road in the 50s and 60s.

From casual observation (living here since 2000) I believe that being stressed and "busy" is a badge of honor in the US. For example during Christmas time everybody complains about being stressed with it. I don't remember that from living in Germany. Christmas was downtime not a source of stress.

For a while it was also popular to be "outraged" about stuff but that seems to have calmed down quite a bit.

I understand that, but it still makes the comparison between the two pretty useless. Those are literally two compilers for the same language. I see a comparison of two compilers compiling two very different programs. What does that mean?
> Realistically speaking, American's lives are practically no different than before Trump was elected

Unless they don't have healthcare through their job, or they get sick enough with or without healthcare, or their papers aren't in order, or they were trans and serving in the military, or they're running a business competing against a business big enough to pay bribes at the "Winter White House," or they get straight up murdered by a Saudia Arabia, a Russia, or a North Korea who all know that right now they can get away with pretty much anything they want. But yeah, other than those things, what has Trump done to hurt anyone in America?

This is all post employment. It’s not a predictive hiring model which is needed but pretty much impossible at this scale. Sounds horrible but it’s like asking for a model to determine which bums will use your charity for food instead of crack.
A Random Walk Down Sand Hill Road
This is the kind of bullshit that infuriates me as a farmer and the only reason for me not to use GMOs and whichever patented cultivars. The rights of farmers to resow has (and must have!) precedence over intellectual or property rights.

These strategies have taken place in the past with GMOs, and I suspect will happen again.

Branded seed sowing can be subject to some restrictions for a single contract and crop for the purpose of the destination of the produce, but the extent of those restrictions should stop there and should not apply to 2nd generation seeds or their crops.

I've had my share of shady contracts with 10 year long confidentiality agreements. Never again.

Tell that to the women who are losing control over what they are allowed to do to their own bodies

Tell that to the millions of people dependent on government healthcare services to keep them alive
This is awesome! More good press for Nim.

There is a big variation in performance, some of which I find surprising. Do you know what exactly causes some languages to be so slow (e.g., small objects being created and garbage collected frequently)?
> Does camo gear help with making it hard for AI to see you, like it does with humans?

Camo is all relative to the background. A gillie suit tailored for the local vegetation will fool literally every form of visible spectrum attempts at detecting the wearer (you need to look for heat or scent instead). It won't work very well at the mall though.
