That's a whole other question.

The real answer is that they're a new category that doesn't fit into 20th century US employment law.

But until the law catches up to reality around 2048, I guess the category that's least wrong is "contractor".
I mean these operations already involve heavy equipment and some basic "farmer" mechanical hacker knowledge which is usually quite impressive.

It's not really that hard or expensive to create a faraday cage trailer, or simply jam GPS/Cellular (assuming pre-knowledge of the types of trackers used) until you can safely remove the devices. I think it's a good idea to put one in every 10th hive just to make things harder and raise the cost of the theft, but I doubt it would really have a large effect on these operations past the first bust you get using the technology.

Cameras and and various real-time alerts (wireless) on access roads and around the site are probably going to be a lot more effective as deterrents in the long view. Hard to evade a few motion detectors even if you know they exist, so long as you were not the one placing them.

This of course assumes law enforcement response times are reasonable - if you get an alert that the site is being disturbed and you confirm on your hidden camera, the police still need to get there within 15-30 minutes to have a hope of catching anyone remotely prepared.
> I suspect that most people know that

I don't think so. Spielberg and colleagues clearly didn't know it, or didn't realize the depth of the connection, and they influenced the public's perception of dinosaurs to a large degree.
it isn't, it's just easier to generate/control from whatever dumb microcontroller than a current source.
Classic book. Love the whole Clavell series, which follows some of these families over the years.
It's a matter of degree. Your comments went an order of magnitude further over the line.
How long does it take, and which hardware do you use?
AWS, GCE, Azure, all of them offer credits for new accounts to experiment. You might be limited in some resources but you can learn a lot. Also, a lot of data tools such as Spark, Airflow, Kafka, etc can be deployed in Kubernetes, which can be run locally using Minikube. Just that and read a lot of blog posts.

This may be true but conventional wisdom against using anything GC'ed for real-time applications (like HFT or aerospace stuff) is going to mean even if go's gc is good enough, using any gc'ed language for these apps is going to be extremely rare for years if not decades. Seems far more likely that rust will chisel away at that market than golang or any other gc'ed language.
How much time did you get? How has that experience changed you today?
What you want assumes having patches for every version that was ever released in the extreme case. How do you propose not doing so when you have limited resources? Firefox offers an ESR release, you can use that if you want.
I agree, calling it low was not quite correct. See the thread above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828567

I didn't perform serious testing on latencies below 100ms yet. I've added to my todo that we should investigate the minimum supported latency.
It could be worse. Where I work, a few weeks ago I saw somebody lick his fingers and then reach into the container of forks and feel around for a while, apparently to find just the right fork.

I was guessing he had dry skin and had trouble picking up a fork unless he moistened his fingers first?

In any case I quietly went to a different container to get my own fork.
I do 99% of my development in the chrome debugger. I usually step through every line of code for the first run through. It catches an incredible amount and variety of subtle bugs. Printf debugging is for chumps.

I wonder how often these long distance couples have met up and one or both of them has realised they are not actually attracted to the other. It must happen sometimes. I'm surprised it doesn't happen most of the time. It says something about how human attraction works, but I'm not sure what.

Has anyone said when they are intending to release the full model? There's likely a lot of positive applications of this technology as well.
Although it sounds great that you do not need sleep I think you are missing a big bonus of sleep, dreaming. Do you remember if you dreamt during that straight 4 days of sleep?
Yes, it really gets old the constant hyping of Australian fauna as 'dangerous', mostly it seems by US American media. Cassowaries in the wild are really not a danger to humans even though they have the potential to do possibly lethal harm. The cassowary is only going to act to defend itself; it's not a predator (unlike salties).

The Changelog 344: Inside the 2019 Infrastructure for Changelog.com
Update: 345M model support successfully added to gpt-2-simple and new release pushed to PyPI, plus I've updated the corresponding Colaboratory Notebook accordingly (https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1VLG8e7YSEwypxU-noRN...)

At a glance it's hard to see if the 345M model is "better" at the moment (it's all qualitative), but I'll be doing more testing. Unfortunately, the 345M model might be slightly too resource intensive for the API/client use case I wanted to do, so I'll likely be sticking with the 117M model for now.
Yes, it's common, and I have regular mucus build up because, well, my cilia don't clear it well for me. :)

As rscho mentioned, you should definitely bring it up and see if you can get a referral to a specialist. I see a pulmonologist regularly to keep an eye on it. The term Kartagener syndrome (SI + PCD) may ring a bell to them more than PCD will.

I was misdiagnosed as a kid as having asthma (or something like that, I don't remember this well), and doctors prescribed an inhaler but it had no effect. My parents had me seen by a pulmonologist which then led to a diagnosis.
Oops; I didn't realize the existing fuse version wasn't built from ZoL. Thanks for pointing that out.
Only tangentially related, but reading over Taniyama's wikipedia page, I'm fascinated to see that he adopted the alternative pronunciation of his name.

"Taniyama's given name 豊 was intended to be read as Toyo, but was frequently misread as the more common form Yutaka, which he eventually adopted as his own name."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yutaka_Taniyama#cite_ref-1

His family name has characters which can have strange pronunciations as well. I remember being so confused that Hasegawa would be written: 長谷川 (literally "long valley river") that you would expect to be Nagatanigawa. Why shouldn't Taniyama's name be Seyama to follow along? I wonder if his parents anticipated his struggles and gave him names which suited his path.

These things about Japanese make it seem less prescriptive than it appears at first glance, and more beautiful.

But, what a sad end to a brilliant thinker.
Url changed from https://petapixel.com/2018/07/09/wet-plate-photography-makes..., which points to this.
It’s been a number of years now that I have become aware of MRSA and superbugs. The moment I read on this is also the moment I have come to be aware of phage therapy as a promising path of overcoming this new threat.

This article yet again reports on the lack of awareness about bacteriophages in the medical community. I just can’t understand why it is like that. I, an idiot, have heard about it. How do people, who seemingly work with superbugs all the time and understand the threat, not know this thing that is amongst the very first things one is exposed to when one takes a superficial glance at the available literature?
Unfortunately, it's also a cause of metal poisoning. "Blue blood" was a term for upper class families with silverware who had silver poisoning because of it.

My recollection: we don't know how to treat silver poisoning.
Your penny-pinching complaint comes from the following quote from the original text: "The original Requests is a small pure-Python library; if you want to work on it, then any cheap laptop is more than sufficient. $5k is the price of a beefy server or top-end gaming rig."

That task really comes nowhere close to the requiring the hardware you describe as being essential to your work.
Is there any way to enforce this act?
True, but the "friction" of meeting and interacting with remote people was greatly improved, if that makes sense. Thus you simply met more people, especially at a time where folks interested enough to get on the Internet were probably very similarly minded to you - which was quite rare for the time at least in my neck of the woods.

Some of the first BBS' I remember from the late 80's/early 90's were dating oriented or at least had an active personals section, so it certainly was a constant evolution.
I spend 90% of my "code time" (meaning time interacting with actual source code in some way) reading it rather than writing it.

At the moment I'm reading https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/encoding/json/e... to diagnose a problem in my code.

Overall, the readability is good. My only complaint is the terse variable names, which makes the more complex methods more time consuming to follow (because you have to keep going back to refer to their definitions to remember what they are). For example, https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/encoding/json/e...
Vivaldi Web Browser Features
I am positive my first comment on this thread was not an order of magnitude over the line, if we can quantifiably measure such a thing, and it got censored anyway. "I just switched my browser. Bye bye Firefox."

I mean if you want me to be reflective it's really not going to work if we're refusing to admit that either both of these comments should have been censored or the one above should not have been censored. But I get it, life's not fair and the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Firefox zealots get to railroad commenters on HN, noted, I certainly won't engage in these discussions again.
I switched to Vivaldi today.
and they can make a terrifying sound to warn you
Thanks for the explanation. One more reason to keep using you instead of anything else.
I think people are over-worried about fake material. We've been able to say lies since we became human. We've been able to print lies since printing. We can already edit photos. People routinely make fake screenshots of messages to defame others. Newspapers sometimes print fake stories based on lies given by their sources or which they fail to vet. But provenance still exists to prove things, not how convincing it looks.
Network offloading in OpenWrt (2018) [pdf]
Great!

> How far are you with supporting multiple sampling rates

Roc currently supports arbitrary input/output rates but only a single network rate (44100). If the network rate differs from the input/output rate, Roc performs resampling.

We're now finishing the 0.1 release, and I was planning to add support for more network encodings, including more rates, in 0.2. Feel free to file an issue or mail us with a list of encoding/rates you need.

> and multiple receivers?

No support yet. If you use a multicast address, it would probably just work though.

Again, feel free to file an issue and describe what you would expect from such support. I'll be happy to implement it if someone needs it.

Another question is how Roc will interact with your sync part. How do you perform synchronization?
That depends on what problem or code base you are working with.

The debugger is the best answer when you are working with bad code, which you cannot reason about the code locally -- a random bug only happens on the production env, a mutable monolith, or a complex system integrating with 3rd party services. Because debugging is to know what happens in the first step, then build a theory to reason about everything. Sometimes, fixing the plane in middle-air requires you need to know what happened to the specific plain, instead of building a theory to make a plane having the exact problem without looking at the plane itself. Like in control theory if there are too many possible states, it's not cost efficient to reason about the state from behavior -- wherein software you can cheat and inspect the state directly.

However, I agree with the author that in the ideal scenario there's almost no need to use the debugger. Like in SICP, in the first few chapters the mental model is about the substitution model -- it's not how a computer really works, but it's easier to reason about, you don't have to in specific step with the specific environment to reproduce the problem (that's where debugger really helps). The code is written is a matter which is more coupled with the environment (which reflects the environment model in the following chapters), the more one needs to use the debugger to work with that code. And that's why the virtue of functional programming and the referential transparency are praiseworthy.
Of course. There are attacks, but the cases are tiny in number. Anyone who has lived here knows that bogans are by far the most dangerous wildlife species here.

(It's a shame that Australia is known for its wildlife being dangerous to humans, whereas the reality -- that our humans are extremely dangerous to wildlife, often choosing to drive whole species to extinction -- is less well advertised)

"Most undergrads who get a paper published are not publishing math papers."

Err, I am not sure how to respond here. I said "it wasn't unheard of", which means when I went through I heard of a few bright undergrads getting publications in maths. It definitely happens.
My personal experience says it would be extremely rare to get a phd now without a publication (again, in maths). It was different in the past. Hard numbers would be better than anecdata I guess.
There's at least one more readability error here that wasn't corrected. The email fields were declared in the order To, From, Subject, Body, but then From and To are swapped when they are added to the MIME message. This breaks parallelism.
I believe the worst part of this is society seems to be built around hiding anything other than positive emotions. People bottle up their feelings instead of expressing them because that is how we've been raised to behave. Like how many men express mostly anger because it seems to be the only consistently socially acceptable emotion even though it is the most destructive.

The more freedom and comfort everyone felt to express themselves honestly then the less build up of emotional pressure there is to release when they do. This means people feeling more emotionally content. It's like when someone is sad and crying people think the best way to help is to cheer them up and stop them feeling sad but all they're doing is stopping them from expressing that sadness which makes it worse.

I did a therapy course which was CBT with horses and it was a real eye opener to me as I've never been around horses before. The therapist shown me the body language and behaviours of her horses and their hierarchy. The way they would get into arguments and instantly express the emotions they felt from them by stamping their hooves or through the "out breath".

That letting go of emotional energy good or bad and understanding the transient nature of emotions is very liberating.
That worked, thank you!

As a side note, the value for that setting got reset after I restarted firefox.

Duolingo uses too much translation and not enough real ear training or customisation to be effective. Translation agruably hampers fluency.

There is a method and book I used called Fluent Forever and I learned more Dutch before coming to live in NL over a few months than most people I've met who have lived there for many years. You can create immersion fairly trivially without being there physically...

Fluent forever (and their forthcoming app) works essentially like this:

- hearing and pronouncing new phonemes
- 600 words in contextual sentences (with native speaker audio and self chosen images), using spaced repetition, helping you to absorb vocab and basic grammar without learning it directly.
-continuing to build your own sentences and learn words while working occasionally with a tutor that you essentially employ to help you to get more words for flashcards and to speak in language for hours (italki is good for it).
- buy grammar books and look for some good examples to apply rules into sentences about your own life / story so you can absorb more core grammar without verb tables etc.

I did buy frequency dictionary, target language native dictionary, grammar books, some literature and access to audio books in target language

It's not free but not super expensive either. Time commitment of ideally an hour a day 7 days a week was hard part.

Writing code is generally much easier than reading it. Additionally, once you write code, you usually end up needing to change or maintain it. 90% is not uncommon.

It's also generally a good sign if you spend less time writing code, because the hard part is usually in the design/planning phase of a new system or product. Days of programming saves hours of planning.

E.g. that site:

I wonder how they got info about vaping temperatures and health benefits. Precise numbers they use are suggesting that there's something behind to support their claims.
> Maybe if the stealth plane was 50,000ft or lower, but considering comercial traffic usually flies up to 39,000ft, and some private traffic at 45,000ft, you probably won't find stealth aircraft below 50,000ft.

F-117 service ceiling was 45,000 ft according to Wikipedia - B-2's is 50,000ft. Ironically, the B-2 has some design compromises to allow it to operate at low altitudes for penetrating strikes, as stealth wasn't quite as trusted when it was being designed - and low altitudes allow operating below the horizon from radar installations. (The B-21 renderings look like they've dropped those compromises - high altitude penetration only)

I'll agree that using cell phones to detect the presence of stealth aircraft is more than a little dubious, though.
