I'm also building a computer and just purchased an i7 9700K for $400. I also wonder what the equivalent-performance AMD processor would be given the performance loss of these patches. Unfortunately it's a bit late to back out without returning the motherboard as well, though.
The in face meeting is actually incredibly important. I've been remote for 7 years and it is just so important to put a "face" to a person. You get to bond on a personal level that is really hard to do remotely, even if you've been working with someone for years. As a strong remote advocate there really isn't a replacement for face to face communication, which is why I support annual summits.
Are you kidding? Perhaps your smug ass should actually look up what happened or maybe just stop talking about shit you know nothing about.
I've always found Slack's link handling to be weird and annoying. Show me the URL I'm going to be sent to, and stop clickjacking. Please. My company has an internal domain, so when we link to internal docs, it splats because Slack can't resolve the hostname. And we're paying for this inconvenience.
There was nothing remotely close to the Python infrastructure we have now, complete with fairly advanced software constructs in fairly accessible manner. Also keep in mind that there are other engineering disciplines than software. In those disciplines, the key is becoming an expert user in a a very high level tool, such as LT Spice, Solidworks, various FEA packages, etc., and even higher level more specialized tools. There, to design something, there is no time to fiddle with actual coding, unless you’re a graduate student actually writing a new tool.
Concurrency in Python: Actor Models
I'm vegetarian primarily for animal well-being reasons, and environmental second. Health is merely a nice plus for me.

That said, the Beyond Meat burgers and sausages have impressive satiety -- probably due to the high amount of saturated fat. (I only tried the Impossible Burger once, but I assume they're similar.)

There's not much evidence, from what I've seen, that being "processed" is a health issue. The main thing is that highly-refined foods frequently have a high calorie-to-satiety ratio and/or are "high-reward", both of which result in over-eating. Beyond Meat, at least, does the opposite for me.

I frequently bike 20+ miles on Saturday and/or Sunday, and one thing I've found is that if I eat some Beyond Meat fake meat, I'll later realize that I've burnt 2k+ Calories, eaten maybe a thousand, and still not feel particularly hungry. I actually have to pay attention to eating enough, whereas normally my body is quite eager to ingest 5k+ Calories if I choose the wrong foods. (Veggie soup is maybe more filling, but I can be full and still crave food.)

Kielbasa was the meat I missed most when I became vegetarian, and the Beyond Meat italian sausage is the first thing I've had that approaches it. If Impossible Foods can beat that, that's exciting to me.
Could be. And that was unfortunate, at the same time, we're hardly talking about being fired for one random remark. The guys were making dick jokes while seated at a public conference, loudly enough to be heard by the people around them. I mean... you get that's offensive to lots of folks, right? AND she happened to be a social media personality who made them a target of a very public shaming (i.e. she was exercising power she already held, not some magical sexual harassment dust). AND the employer overreacted. AND... it happened five years ago! It's hardly like this is an epidemic thing justifying the paranoia in the headline above.
Not OP, but if we switch all our protein to soy, that could have unforeseen impacts on things like breast cancer risk due to elevated amounts of estrogen. It's why soy protein supplements are generally discouraged.

Like everything else, soy is good in moderation, and we should have a wide range of choices that aren't just soy-based.
Your comments are so much better!
I've actually written two separate articles on shell completion, explicitly for subcommands, because the resources regarding subcommands is so lacking.

https://tylerthrailkill.com/2019-01-13/writing-zsh-completio...
https://tylerthrailkill.com/2019-01-19/writing-bash-completi...

I need to improve them and write a bit more information, I was writing a library to generate completion scripts for both bash and zsh, so I had to know the differences quite well.
BMI is basically useless for people who exercise regularly.
I’m not sure how much they care about that given that they don’t sell directly to consumers. But maybe that matters more than I think.
From your "der Standard" link: "In the field of intelligence, it points to the risk that left-wing activists would undertake with such an "operation" - after all, there are payment dates for the rental of the finca, the rental car and the flights that can be found out. Intelligence agencies would not have this problem. They can construct so-called legends, ie false identities. Even if the video were scattered in the activist scene, that does not mean that an intelligence background is excluded. So secret services used again and again confidants to spread content and disguise their involvement."

So some western intelligence agency is still the most probable organizer, and it's not something that any country should be worried about? Even if the guy himself fell in the trap, the construction should be a major news topic. And it surely isn't, but I see that it's at least mentioned, thanks for that.
You keep doubling down on this?

The article says that DNA from the clothing sample was sent to Parabon for analysis in July of 2016, and was used in a GEDmatch search at that time. There's nothing remarkable about my claim, it is right there in the article. Also it simply isn't possible to submit a CODIS profile to GEDmatch, they only accept SNP array data, the matching algorithms only work for dense SNP array data, and CODIS markers are not even SNPs, they are STRs.

I did not claim genetic information isn't "medical data". I said that 23andMe is not a "covered entity" under HIPAA. HIPAA only applies to "covered entities". Maybe you should say specifically what it is you think 23andMe is doing that is improper?
Say you want to learn something - let's just say math or a new language - how do you go about interleaving the learning materials?
Non competes should be enforced symmetrically. If a company won't let you work for another company they can't hire another employee.
I wish Nintendo treated mobile like a first-class platform. Unfortunately, I only know of one good game that they made (Super Mario Run), and they've allowed their other IPs to be poisoned by pay-to-win garbage (Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Fire Emblem, Pokemon Go).
I'm not exactly sure the monoculture argument is valid for Windows vs. Linux though; Linux still dominated server usage while Windows was attacked more often, despite the fact that you could potentially reap a much greater reward infecting a server. Unix-based OSs were just inherently more secure for the most part.

Can you imagine being in a bidding war with Larry Ellison? Talk about a lose/lose...

Either he outbids you and then had the legal right to fuck with you for decades

Or he bids you up to some ungodly number, and you have to live with the fact that Larry Ellison forced you to burn billions of dollars for his personal gratification.

Either way, you just feel dirty.
Absolutely. I work remote full time and I just returned from spending a week in Germany (I am in USA) where I had meetings and social time with others both above and below me.

I actually wrote a library that generates completions for both zsh and bash for the Ruby Thor CLI library. https://github.com/snowe2010/fylla/

This could be useful in research to make it work for clap.

I wrote two articles that kind of highlight the differences in completions between the two, but only in regards to subcommands, since that's what I was trying to cover.

Doubt it.

Generative-adversarial models have had a lot of success in image generation; however, the same cannot be said for speech synthesis.

Unless they have figured out a new technique, they are probably using Tacotron 2 (https://ai.googleblog.com/2017/12/tacotron-2-generating-huma...). Google's Tacotron 2 already achieved human-parity TTS without adversarial training as measured by MOS.
So one thing that isn't mentioned in this article that I think is incredibly important is making sure you maintain a social life outside of work.

When working at an office you tend to spend time with your coworkers outside of work and that is something you don't really get an opportunity to take advantage of when you're remote. Be sure to make some effort to get out of the house and be social in some form. Otherwise it becomes too easy to become isolated and you can suffer because of it. It also helps with counteracting the problem of overworking, since you have other obligations in you day that push you towards wrapping up work for the day.
I think from the ingredient list it's pretty clear that it's not healthy:

methylcellulose

an indigestible emulsifier and stool softener

cultured dextrose

fermented sugar used as preservative

soy leghemoglobin

Actually not from soy, but biofactured by genetically engineered yeast. I don't know all the reasons for its inclusion, but leghemoglobin can be used as red food coloring.

I don't consider burgers particularly healthy, but I wouldn't consider the Impossible Burger as a healthy alternative.
That sounds like the same kind of fantasy as shown in this article. The incidents happened at their diplomatic homes and hotels, not the embassy.

Well, my comment was not serious. By not encrypting by default they actually put your data at risk. Syncing and encryption is not exclusive and could be done in its simplest form by sharing the private key or working with subkeys. Not encrypting by default is the worst option, imho.
Ask HN: Other than ads what kind of web services big companies are buying?
I agree that companies should be able to enforce these contracts. But there should also be more realistic limitations. For one, there needs to be good compensation for the employee. Too often an employee signs a non-compete and gets locked in to a job that isn't paying market rates.

If the company fired you tomorrow, would you still be bound by the non compete?

Many people are and they receive no additional compensation. I think there need to be provisions requiring an additional non-compete accompanied with comeserate severance pay upon termination.

Hmm, the usual treeshaker might not tell you much about the internals of the compiler itself (a compiler is just one part of a Lisp system based on runtime, interpreter, various libraries, etc.), since the ones I've seen work over already compiled code. It's an interesting project, but not that easy for a complex piece of software like SBCL - depending on what the goals are.
fork() explanations generally describe the api's, maybe talk a little about COW and memory protection... but I never see sufficient explanation of WHEN to use fork().

FWIW, past a certain scale, it makes a lot more sense to export dedicated telemetry out of your app into a TSDB.

The reason is, it's thousands of times cheaper to +1 a counter/record a gauge and flush it every once in a while, than to serialize per-request metrics into HTTP headers, log them, and re-parse them for analytics later.

What a coincidence. I've been working on a macro to do exactly this yesterday and think I might have a working version tonight or tomorrow. In Clojure too.

The only difference is in the way I decided to treat arrays

(xxx {:a [1 2 3]}
{:a [_ _ inc]})
;; {:a [1 2 4]}

This is because I intend to use it on arg vectors rather than proper data. So I'm fine with having to access everything step by step from the left and having a one to one relation between leafs in the data tree and leafs in the transformer tree. Actually I wrote a cowalk function (as well as coprewalk, copostwalk, etc), to allow for traversal and editing of multiple data structures at the same time provided they have the same shape.
Because it is generally a good idea to have a diverse diet.

And also because there have been concerns about phytoestrogens in soy. Whether true or not, the former point still stands.
The article has some good advice. I've been working remotely for 2 years and here are my observations:

- When you work from a coworking space with others, it's easier to meet people and make friends. They are not your colleagues which removes certain "fakeness" from the relationship (you are not force d to spend time with someone, no office politics, no boss-employee dynamic, no zero-sum games like promotions).
- It could be a good idea to spend a few months working together and then transition to remote work.
- Use Block Site and block youtube.com etc. on your work machine
- Don't stay at home 100% of the time. Work from a cafe from time to time.
Go Broncos!
How about every time a company files a frivolous claim they lose their ability to claim anything for an ever-increasing amount of time? An hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, etc up to a year.
Yeah, the highlight of my current solution is that the graph is computed lazily / on demand (supplies are passed in the current path and provide estimates) - very CPU heavy but light on memory. There no way I can precompute every possibility, but is there anything specific to A* that rules out lazy node creation? In this problem the nature of every node is a function of the path you took to get there.

Spaced repetition aids are fairly common. If you can store your curriculum as flash cards, then apps like Memrise and Anki are designed specifically for this.

Spaced repetition is not the same as interleaving, but the apps will force you to interleave knowledge anwyay.

you would think so. but reading the foundational RFCs and learning the BSD system api 30 years ago has paid out pretty well.

I always assumed we would lurch onto a new model that had a stronger notion of distributed identity, or was more data centric than machine centric, or .. something.

but we keep throwing more new plywood on top of the old rotten floor and keep going about our business. the 10th layer down isn't providing any structural value any more..but does that matter?
It is just like anything else, for example politics. Many politicians have strong convictions and care about the electorate and outcomes (I have several politician friends).

But when push comes to shove, keeping their job and food on the table for their families comes first. So ethical compromises are made.

Similarly, for tech people and privacy. I would wager there are dozens if not hundreds here on HN who have raised concerns with management about the privacy implications of something they're being requested to build. Management says, build it anyway. Programmer reluctantly complies because they like their job.

WRT science it is obvious that it works over the long term. But in the short term it can be quite nasty. So I would say if you are a member of the public, you can safely believe something scientists have said for a long time without controversy, like the helical structure of DNA, but new or controversial findings should be taken with a large grain of salt.
Cost minimisation, so yes, it is an optimisation problem, and I haven’t heard of MILPs, will check them out. Is that a Prolog style constraint solver? And would it support dynamic constraints, where some choices will render others impossible (inventory / bandwidth exhaustion)?
Absolutely - and I do hope that this project can help you achieve your aim! If you can do that and help others as well - then this will all be _very_ worthwhile. For myself, I feel like I get too caught up in solving my problems technologically, when the problems are human. Curating my links was very repellant at first, but has now become a favorite past time now that I feel some competence. But good luck to you - we are all different, with very different motivations and struggles.
Yes, my signing bonus was contingent on signing a non-compete, non-disclosure, and other agreements. It wasn’t much money, and in retrospect, I don’t think it was worth it. Still, I agreed to the terms, so I should be bound to them.
I think a very easy way to mitigate that problem is by using something like siteground that mantains and optimizes that for you.

Since Markdown is now the web's rich text, its image tag is probably the thing to try. Then, Emacs is guaranteed to be able to show images. Possibly Intellij Idea, since their MPS supports wacky stuff in DSLs' editing interfaces. Dunno about Sublime etc., but I hope Atom and company can make proper use of their platform. Even if not inline, an image can often be opened in a split frame.

BTW, Mermaid and such might be more suitable for embedding diagrams in comments―maybe even just one of the ascii art diagram languages (for which there are utils to convert to graphics).
Thanks a lot, will check this out.

There are plenty of other reasons why firing someone might be a bad idea from an ethical and PR standpoint (like if you solicit political opinions from your employees and fire those that you don't agree with). I also don't think it's clear that these employees have engaged in protected behavior. If they're using company resources to organize activism, that's not protected. If they're leaking info to the press, that's also not protected.
I used a SAT solver awhile ago to build a program that scheduled retail employees based on preferences set by both the employer and the employees.
Face-to-face meetings are valuable (GP agrees). Requiring get togethers in unique exotic locales, not so much. It's a huge perk for some, and a not-insignificant cost for others (with most "regular" people probably somewhere in-between, but giving in to the peer pressure of emphasizing the glamor). Oh and it seems to inevitably blur this whole work-life balance thing people claim to care about. (Not to mention it's a bit of a bad habit, carbon footprint wise, and a dubious use of investor money.)

If a company just picked a logically geographically central place (per its employee base), reserved a reasonable hotel w/business suite or rented an office for a week, that'd make a lot more sense and be a good bit fairer imo. Let people who enjoy exotic locales do so on their own, and not as a (required!) perk. Bonus, you're now being more serious about avoiding monoculture at work too (not everybody enjoys exotic travel, and companies that de facto require it will end up selecting for it).
Sometimes I just leave the store if the line is too long. More often I just don't go, knowing it's going to be too long a wait this time of the day.

Perhaps I am an impatient outlier, but whatever the profitable wait threshold is, it could be maintained with fewer cashiers if checkout were faster.

They do have over $100 billion in savings, so maybe that number should actually be $90 billion and that other ~10% dedicated to the boring stuff like supporting their users. It's no accident that Amazon, Comcast, AT&T etc can support 100m+ people by phone... and pure accounting chicanery that Google does not.
