It became clear that when my wife went back to school we couldn't sit and do math or rearrange everything all the time. We just put it altogether.

Nothing is easier when married than just putting it into one pot and it is all "our" money. It's not about who does what (maybe one day someone does more dishes, makes more money) and it's all "ours".

But even than if you have a couple with very different spending and someone is more responsible, I don't think it is bad to establish an "allowance" for everyone for as the article describes "splurges".

The important thing is to always be communicating about it.

Repeating this won't make it true. Robots are very useful, manned space flight is too because robots don't have general intelligence. Figuring out that or telepresence may be more effective than just posting the same opinion over and over.
If that's what your OKRs look like as a developer, then your company is doing them very wrong. They're supposed to be hierarchical, becoming more concrete as you go down the line. Your examples sound like top-level OKRs; mine are usually something like "internationalize feature x, launch in Y locales" or "Implement feature Z, measure effect on meric A".

Which is not to say the OKR system doesn't still have issues, they just look more like the ones discussed in the OP.
Interesting stuff. As for cooling, it wont take long to get even slightly dirty, negating all the cooling effects.

A New Study Suggests Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation Can Improve Working Memory
Small world- I just finished watching this again today. I've been trying palette-cycling techniques with 32blit to see if I can learn the ropes and put together a half-decent tutorial. I've had these - http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/ - up on my screen for the last few days. I managed to get - terrible - palette-cycled fire sprites working with smooting (which Joe calls "Blend Shift Cycling") and I think there are still some interesting interactions to be found between these classic techniques and modern hard/software.

It's really exciting to see renewed interest in these techniques and "8-bitish" games in general since it probably means we've chosen the right time to make our handheld.
True. But that's a bigger issue than "just" some money being misallocated. Letting taxpayers decide individually where "their" money goes also smells like census suffrage.
The last art gallery I went to had two VR art stations. It looked pretty cool.
They absolutely do. An interest-free loan that you know you will pay off on time is only "debt" academically. It's just shuffling money between accounts, effectively. After each credit card purchase, in theory, you could log in to your online banking and pay off the balance immediately with cash you have on hand in another account. You could do that even before the purchase transitions from pending to posted to your account. Basically, you're not in debt.

You're "in debt" when your liabilities exceed your assets. You have negative equity, and so these debts are claims against your future income.

That's what "in debt" means, in a nutshell: your future income belongs to someone else.

If we are going to write a story about how some population segment is "in debt", but we label everyone as "in debt" if they have any credit card balance, that is blatantly dishonest.

Facebook Scrambles for a Middle Ground on Misleading Video of Nancy Pelosi
Responses to stories like this make me uncomfortable.

I grew up on a small family farm in Iowa. Along with farming my father also took a substitute job as a rural mail carrier mostly for health insurance.

I can't find a better word than fetishizing to describe how – what I would call city people – think and talk about the world I grew up in.

Talking about where I came from and reading how people respond to this makes me uncomfortable at times, and moreso it is incredibly difficult to actually communicate to people without context how life was because of their pre-existing impressions.
Well just like that whole paul graham vs the founder of cloudflare last week, where PG said that the founders of airbnb were broke and that's why they started, and the cloudflare guy called him out on it mentioning they didn't have totally no support and most founders have some support backup in case things get super hard that it's really hard to be 1 paycheck from the curb and start anything, or live on the street and start a software business. A lot of people went to backup PG, but then there were a lot to side w/ Matthew Prince as well.

I think it's both ways, I mean there's both sides of the political spectrum on HN, you've got your progressives and Trump supporters, and everything in between. A lot of people aspire to be CEO here, and would like to know they can set their own rates and feel that someday they'll be the next Elon Musk though for 90% reading this that's highly unlikely they might make it to 1% of his success if they're super lucky.
But this is also fine! It's also unexplored territory. In the words of Mr. Miyamoto: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

Releasing it when it is ready rather than releasing it to release it is probably better in this case. Especially if the creator ever plans on other 4D game projects, since he has his own game engine to create them now. Better to not have someone's first experience with a 4D game be "This was garbage." in that case.
Makes me wonder what would have happened if it had been developed bazaar-style.
I'd agree that it would be a weird way to put it if both sides had the same level of information. In this case execs okaying the buybacks have access to more accurate and immediate information than the potential investors and they have a way to funnel that investor money into their own pockets. In this situation I stand by characterization of this
Sometimes when discussing law on HN people will say "oho, but what if you try this?" thinking they've got some great loophole.

Courts are used to dealing with people who think they've found a loophole.

Here a man was using Juul's trademark, and they went to court and won an order. That man then started fucking the courts about. The result is a 16 week (not suspended) prison sentence for contempt of court.

"Why would we want to break them up?" = Pro Facebook propaganda.

Scientists Discover How to Enhance and Suppress Memories with Uncanny Accuracy
About 20 years ago my dad was doing research (at the U of Georgia) that traced how a peptide was metabolized by grasshoppers. They used an isotope of carbon with a 20 minute half-life (C11), but also needed to ensure that the radiation from Carbon-14 and other isotopes was very, very low. Essentially they needed grasshoppers with stable versions of carbon, which you're not going to get from the wild.

So they grew plants and grasshoppers in a sealed environment, with CO2 (and probably other carbon sources) from oil. Since the hydrocarbons in the oil are millions of years old, the carbon is essentially exhausted of radioactive isotopes.

If you carbon dated one of those grasshoppers it would have seemed tens of thousands of years old...
I look at them as a useful way to plan and estimate. It's okay if priorities shift or if you realise something will take longer, or that you actually need to work on something else right now and some KR will be pushed to next Q, etc. And it's perfectly fine not to meet some of your OKRs. I think of them as a compass rather than a paved road.
I can't think of any open source project which isn't a hard fork (the traditional kind you mention, with renaming etc) which has multiple branches of equal maximum status.

Many projects have research branches, integration branches, stabilisation branches, vendor branches, branches run by people with platforms or use cases not well served by the canonical branch, etc. But those examples are all either feeders for a canonical branch, or derivatives of it.

Are there any projects where there are multiple branches right at the top?

The closest i can come is in the various distros' versions of ancient common unix utilities, which are no longer maintained by their original creators. Distros will make fixes to them, and may exchange fixes, but there is no shared upstream. However, that is really a case of there being zero canonical branches, not more than one!
Some jobs are harder than others, with the definition of "hard" varying from job to job (ie, physically, mentally, or emotionally draining, dangerous, or requiring a rare skill). Harder jobs should be paid more, otherwise, what incentive is there to take on hard jobs?

The "mass death" thing the other commenter brought up is just plain silly, IMO. Communism failed (and will always fail) due to corruption and greed, and in the past has always been implemented by malicious dictators.

The hierarchical pay structure makes some sense because the higher you go, the more risk you bring to the company. A low-level manager may make a bad hiring choice that costs the company tens of thousands in wasted wages after hiring someone unproductive. Middle management may mismanage their teams and create working environments that lower morale. Upper management and CEOs may make bad decisions on what new products to green light and can cost the company millions or tank it completely.

So, it makes sense IMO to pay the higher ups more, but there should be a profit sharing scheme of some sort to reward people of all levels for their contribution to the success of the company.
Should have clarified, nobody noticed that the new cert was not EV.
It's the right attitude in spirit. But like how am I supposed to know how to decrease no-show rates at a clinic? How can I figure out how to increase harvest yields from autonomous tractors? Convert more enterprise sales accounts?

I know that the answer is: spend lots of time talking to customers, doing research, empathizing, etc. But then who is going to write the code while I'm doing all of that? It needs to get done, but I'm not sure why that is the job of the "development team".
Ha! That just shows that web companies have figured out how to put themselves back in as middlemen. So sad.
Sure. I have a SaaS, EasyALPR.com that uses ALPR for parking enforcement that I've been working on for a few years.

I'm near a major release actually, replacing my previous products with something called Parking Enforcer, which I believe is the best mobile app / vehicle grouping tool in market. I focus on business parks with 300-2000 parking spaces to patrol. It has been in beta for about 9 months.

I have been working algorithms related to ALPR data set matching a lot, primarily in Python.

I'm not familiar with storm / spark. However, one issue is that that license plate reads are not 100% accurate. So you are looking for a fuzzy version of the plate.

Its possible for collections of plates to sort of fuzz-out as incorrect members become more distant from previous ones, causing new matches to join groups they should not. You can write stuff to handle this but the original point was ~"this problem is in analysis not ALPR" which I agree with.

As far as computation, a new plate may or may not have a group to join. If it has been seen before, you need to look for the group "most likely" to be the same car. This can mean iterating over a large data set to look for the highest probable group.

There are some tricks to cutting down on the data set under consideration. For example it is much easier to only look at possible sightings from this past week in this area than every sighting from everywhere. (which when assembling a national database may be necessary)

But in my experience, even in the tens of thousands of plates, doing grouping requires task queues and tricks for quick identification and notification of matches. A watchlist (blacklist) is might be short, but the grouping task over months of data can be long.

Some plates are VERY similar but not the same car! Sometimes the ALPR camera forwards photos of fences or vehicle grills that are not license plates at all, and those must be ignored but not at a threshold where good data is thrown out. When bad stuff makes it to the user, they have to be easily disposed of if they make it through.

Data cleaning things can require additional capabilities of analysis, like breaking apart improperly grouped vehicles, yet ensuring they do not rejoin "bad" groups. Lots of details to handle, and to an end user, it is painfully obvious when "matches" are not correct. They expect magic.

One other note is that I found building an efficient and useful model architecture for these purposes to be challenging. There are more details in how the raw data comes in from ALPR scans that have to be handled before you even reach an individual "Sighting."

I'm really unsure about what to think of Blue Origin in general. They've been around for a good long while now, and all they seem to be doing is making big promises about New Glenn and living in orbit while only showing little tidbits of progress on small scale projects.
What we're doing with 32blit is effectively Pico 8 with hardware. I'd be happy if we saw a tenth of the success that Pico 8 has achieved- some of the titles written for it are truly remarkable and seeing how people push the artificial limits is genuinely interesting and something I'd be honoured to foster more of.

I think Dank Tomb's lighting is by far one of my favourite examples - https://hackernoon.com/pico-8-lighting-part-1-thin-dark-line...
We started using OKRs this past year. I can't tell you what our current OKRs are. We even create "sub-OKRs" that align with the higher level OKRs. It feels like a pointless exercise, because we do what the author describes: slap labels on items in our backlog that sorta-kinda relate to an OKR.

The author's suggestions aren't terribly complete or practical. I don't know many teams who could just dump their backlog every quarter. You're going to have work that can't be related to OKRs. We do use the OKRs to drive our weekly meetings and sprint planning.

One suggestion I have is just to accept all work isn't OKR related and reserve capacity for that work. If some PM or manager complains, push back.
If it's ok to shift priorities 3 weeks into OKRs and push them to the next quarter why was it important to have them at all? Do you now need to measure the new work that's prioritized?

It's totally fine (and encouraged, in fact) to not pass every OKR, but I don't see any point to them. All of the failures of waterfall that everyone has always been aware of, but with the additional work of stating how you'll measure it, so that finance knows who to pay more.

It's usually best to start out with your goals. What is your primary goal? Weight loss, fitness, longetivity?

If it's weight loss, there are generally three (successful) ways to go about it:

1. Change nothing in your diet, but eat fewer (but larger) meals per day while maintaining a calorie deficit for your age/gender/weight. This is known as intermittent fasting. It may or may not work for you.
2. Eat mostly plants and/or low-fat meats such as chicken (and low fat fish). Plants are carby, so you'll need to keep your total calories from fat under 10% or the plant carbs will block fat burning. This diet tends to be a difficult adjustment for many, since it is a bit like eating like a rabbit.
3. Eat as few carbs as possible, and get your calories from predominantly meat (aka carnivore diet) or fat (keto diet) or a mix. Aim for > 65% calories from fat (while still keeping under daily calorie expenditure). Both carnivor or keto lend themselves well to lipolysis aka fat burning, especially if you also layer in intermittent fasting from item #1 in this list. If you don't like meat/dairy or fat, this option is pretty much dead-in-the-water.

There are a ton of sources for all of the above approaches and their various rules, tips and pitfalls. I recommend trying each for 6-8 weeks and seeing which diets feel like something you could see yourself living with for the next 12-18 months.
There are plenty of “bad” trainers out there in any field.

And by bad it doesn’t mean they don’t know what they should be doing but rather cave into the demands of their clients that want quick results and to feel the pump.

Just look at how many people go straight into weight lifting with compound exercises without first spending months working on stability, flexibility and burst speed/power.

Then what happens is that they get into a worse state and hit a wall even if they now can bench press 1.5 their body weight.

You would be much better off benching only 100 lbs while being able to stand straight against a wall while keeping your lower back, shoulder blades, elbows and the back of your palm against the wall comfortably throughout a shoulder press.

I’ve literally seen people getting so stiff after “training” for 6 months that I’m not sure if even 2 years of corrective exercises could bring them back to their starting point yet alone to the point where they can start building muscles safely.

And while in the mid 20’s to mid 30’s they might not notice it once they hit their 40’s and couldn’t stand straight because their lats and delts were developed incorrectly and they have no core they sure will.

Exponent Podcast: An Intra-West Debate
> "I didn't want to rewrite everything from scratch, and definitely, I didn't want to handle all edge cases for epoll. My choice was to use libuv.

The event loop will call them after parsing the bid request in C11."

Looks like libuv directly in C11? (not F# as before edit).

What do you want to accomplish that you aren't accomplishing? What seems to be the holdup?

I'm sure plenty of people here can point you in the right direction to dramatically up your game in relatively short order (possibly including me).
If you’re not making some effort to measure the value and impact of what you’re doing, then how do you know if it was the right thing to allocate your effort on? Presumably the new message queueing system had some effect on customer experience or developer velocity - can you try to measure that?

It doesn’t have to be perfect, but most teams would have a lot more impact if they spent some of their time getting at least very rough estimates of the impact of their current and future projects.
The creators uploaded their videos under the premise that they would receive a share of ad revenue. Given that creators retain copyright to the materials keeping all the money and continuing to distribute would seem problematic.
