Not sure if that is great metaphor either. Blueprints describe everything, including implementation.
A lot of assets of rich people are protected against inflation. Real estate, stocks, art protect against inflation much better than the cash in the savings account earning <1%.
Apple has the majority of the US market and elite market around the world.
was that my music, or just an input source for where my music actually ended up living?

If you have "Organize my music" checked then iTunes copies the files to its library. If you have it unchecked, then the files stay where you left them.
Please do the tab test. Some of us do this even if we don't need accessibility tools, as it can be faster (those who create forms which cannot be tabbed through are evil).
How does that argument follow? Apple needs developers but they don't need those developers writing code using an iPad do they?

After all, iPhones have an endless amount of apps but nobody (or close enough to nobody) is developing apps using their iPhone.
I cannot believe we are in 2019 and Israel continues to be able to do whatever they want without any real international consequences. The EU is continuously warning that they should stop. Obviously nobody cares.

The real issue is the blind support of the US behind whatever Israel does. I will not go to the level of claiming that there is an extremely active Israel//Jewish lobby in DC but at least they were extremely successful at convincing everyone that if you criticize Israel's settlement policies it makes you automatically antisemitic.
Ask HN: How do companies hire junior developers? (it's not from job ads)
I am now looking for a job as junior frontend developer with 2 years of experience.

Virtually no job posts I see is for junior positions. Yet, a lot of senior positions job descriptions include a version of "will mentor junior developers". How these junior developers are hired?

I think it is mostly from personal networking (which is bad for me as a brazilian trying to find a job in LA, USA).

I am still applying to the companies I like, starting with the disclaimer "Are you accepting applications from junior developers?". So far, only negative responses.
But you didn't live in a dwelling that was plumbed with garden hose. Also I suspect that the use of recycled materials was less prevalent back then. Finally, toxin exposure isn't a binary thing. Hypothetically, if the hose somehow destroyed 1% of your kidney or liver function, it would still be harmful whether you perceived an effect or not.
I'm torn on this one. Part of me loves iTunes and it does so much more than the typical user will ever realise, but the other part of me sees that iTunes is come to the end of the road and an entire rebuild of the Apple Music app needs to happen. I still miss features like iTunes DJ. It was the best way to just click play and enjoy your library, and hasn't been replaced by any player that I know of including Spotify.
A good follow-on to this is the book Style: Towards Clarity and Grace.
Yeah I think this is what people are not getting. Redundant backups might mean "don't worry, in addition to backups on the instance, I have them going to a S3 bucket in region 1 and then also region 2 in case that region goes down," which of course doesn't protect from malicious activity from the provider. You certainly _should_ make sure you have backups locally available or in a secondary cloud provider but this is some hindsight.
I'd better still be able to access all the media I've bought on iTunes, and I'd better still be able to access it on my PC.
very doable, at least for certain types of clones, and a topic of active research.

while leveraging the ASTs and scope graphs produced by semantic can allow you to attack the more complicated clone types (eg, code that has nearly the same meaning, with significantly different implementation), various parsing + hashing methods have proven useful for the more simple cases.

useful for far more than detecting plagiarism, too. it can boost signal for search, allow for more nuanced semantic navigation, assist in refactoring, and help understand the propagation/provenance of code (which can be important for understanding licenses, etc).
Avoiding Gmail's Confidential Mode
I think talking about spending cuts and balancing the budget were pretty common not too long ago. It was a big part of Paul Ryan's speaker-ship.[0]

Republicans (and some democrats) have used "balancing the budget" rhetoric, to justify cutting or refusing to expand wellware and social safety net programs. This has died down once they got into power because no one actually want to balance the budget (cutting military spending is not exactly a hit in republican strongholds).[1]

So in a way you are right, no one is _seriously_ talking about balancing the budget, but people certainly were talking about it.

Legislating such a micropayments system would centralize the monetization of internet services in a way unprecedented since the advent of the internet. If you're worried a lack of Net Neutrality would suppress free speech, this would strangle it.

You'd create two internets: a bourgeoisie sphere of corporate sites with enough influence to be included in the micropayment system, and the unwashed masses, the sites deemed unworthy of monetization, forced to survive on crippled ad market. The handful of large corporate microtransaction payment processors would get to pick and choose who gets to be on the "good internet" without any oversight.
It should target what is most valuable to automate. Thats normally how markets work.
Ah you're right that makes a lot of sense thanks for the explanation

A redesign, for the iPad only, to fix these kind of issues is heavily rumored.
> The company is launching a trio of new apps for the Mac – Music, TV, and Podcasts – to replace iTunes.

Nice. It's always better to have multiple programs each dedicated to a specific task than one that tries to be everything.
The fed does target an inflation rate greater than 0, though.
There's is a mysterious secret website that you never heard of .

The Chief code architect of this site has worked for both Google and Microsoft . This secret website is so unlike anything you have ever seen and has come to the attention of the U.S intelligence apparatus located in the Ashburn Virginia area because of the sheer high level of traffic from Chinese proxies based in Indonesia .

To quote the anonymous source who clued us in to the existence of the secret website " We watch , what the enemy watches and they're watching this thing hard..very hard "

The secret website uses a 3 dimensional user interface to view the internet which has roused the curiosity of China to the potential of this technology concept .

If this is true, and it follows Apple normal software re-write playbook, then the new replacement will have hardly any functionality compared the current iTunes version.
Where were these located precisely? Whose land are they on, and were any people operating them?

The Guardian says they have this information, but they choose to leave it out?

europa.eu at least gives a general description of the location, that the two small prefab buildings were "in Ibziq".

Ibziq is here[0], but how far is not Ibziq? That is the subject of an ongoing military conflict between two serious belligerents; and a set of treaty negotiations which fail primarily because one side is committed to no compromise whatsoever.

As DigitalOcean's CTO, I'm very sorry for this situation and how it was handled. The account is now fully restored and we are doing an investigation of the incident. We are planning to post a public postmortem to provide full transparency for our customers and the community.

This situation occurred due to false positives triggered by our internal fraud and abuse systems. While these situations are rare, they do happen, and we take every effort to get customers back online as quickly as possible. In this particular scenario, we were slow to respond and had missteps in handling the false positive. This led the user to be locked out for an extended period of time. We apologize for our mistake and will share more details in our public postmortem.
Getting Started: Developing for Perl 6 – Madeleine Goebel
I think you may be envisioning two extremes when the parent comment wants a happy medium. I.e. files on disk in any way the customer wants, but add a db on the side to do things like play counts and tags. With reasonable defaults for most people who don't care about filesystem layout.
To me this is no different than the question on the US citizenship application form.[1]

Have you ever committed, or assisted in committing, or attempted to commit, a crime for which you were NOT arrested?

For me this translates into "Have you ever committed a crime that we are unaware of?". Of course you answer no. There is no one in the US who could honestly answer that question with "no", but yet they ask.

On the flip side, it also covers the gov'ts ass because if they find out you did, you can have your citizenship revoked because you lied on your application.

the combination of the Import and Call Graphs (https://github.com/github/semantic#language-support) should allow for the construction of a view of what symbols are imported, and where in a given project they are called. resolving those edges across repos is also possible, in many cases.
While almost never seen, some do. I've had to write a few pages narrative of a professional experience for a Lab126 (Amazon) interview.
How would you like that to have been addressed?

I think it's entirely reasonable for companies to have that option. "You are doing something malicious and against the rules, you have been permanently removed". In this case, that option was misused, but I don't think the existence of that possiblity is inheritly surprising.
Unions are plenty greedy. In SF, police officers make 400k, bart officials make 300k+ and firemen make 200k+.

They are also part of the (general) problem. And all of those jobs should also be targets of automation.
Old MSFT rule of thumbs was 2 bugs per day during bug crunch mode. Sounds crazy, but when you consider the number of "this text is wrong" and "that text box is too short" bugs that existed after a year of furious development, it wasn't too hard to achieve.

Gotta hit that ZBB!
Many people wearing burqas—and perhaps most—indeed are the victims of such an ideology. But many aren’t, and so it is sensible to be clear that the burqa can be but isn't necessarily such a symbol.
Maybe undervalued is the wrong word, as clearly the economy rewards people who can write well. It’s just that it often seems overlooked. Job ads and CVs sometimes vaguely mention ‘good communication skills’, but I rarely see any specific mention of writing.
it's definitely useful for structural code annotation, which can be used by both search and code navigation. stay tuned.
My argument is the opposite though..the market is NOT targeting the most profitable places to attack.

I would extend the "automate" to more the more generalized "innovate".
Even if the stories we hear of account lockouts isn't typical, the absolute number of them that we see -- especially those (like this one) that appear to be locked (and re-locked) by automated processes -- should be cause for concern when setting up a new business on someone else's infrastructure.
First I thought that it would be an article making jokes about her "influence", fake followers and so on, but after reading I felt sympathy. She tries to create her own clothes brand, maybe she doesn't know anything about it, maybe she has failed this time, but it is a valuable experience. It is not like you are going to succeed from the first time, but it is better to do anything than nothing. Don't understand the negative comments. Maybe they are from people who have no followers?

I don't know exactly what that means but I figured it is a good starting point for a discussion.
Most of the costs aren't from storage space, but compute power. We aren't talking about duplicating the whole infrastructure, just backing up the data. Disk space is dirt cheap.

Also, by "two places" I meant the live DB and one backup that's somewhere completely different. My wording may have been confusing.
For years Apple has said iPad and iOS in particular is not the same use case as mac/maOS. They are complements.

I was thinking the same thing. The article states that the auction items "also appeared to include material confiscated from Palestinians and Israeli settlers who built without authorization."

Which seems to imply this wasn't targeted specifically at the Palestinians but rather anyone who built without permits. Which begs the question... who built the classrooms and why wouldn't they have gotten building permits before doing so?

I feel like something is missing here.
I agree with the others who say that publication is an important aspect of doctoral education. However, grad students already face too many sources of risk and delay. I've known a number of PhDs who had to deal with professors holding back on letting them graduate in order to get one or more papers out of them, at enormous expense to the student, and after the dissertation work was finished. In one case, a student had to lawyer up.

I also know one professor who simply can't bring himself to let anything be published, and a student shouldn't be penalized for that.

The professors who review the student's dissertation should be able to decide if the work is of publication quality. The dissertation is still the main focus of the PhD.

Elements of Style is the one that falls short. Pinker’s book is based on an understanding of how grammar actually works. Strunk and White is not.

Your article talks about illegal aliens. By definition they are present in the US, or they wouldn't be illegal or aliens.

The OP asked if non-citizens outside the US have constitutional rights. The answer is no.
I made the error, early in my PhD, of naming the git repo for one of my papers "prestigiousJournalYearX". It didn't end up in that journal, and it took something like two years more than Year X. Not a good idea, with the constant reminder of falling short of your earlier goals, and I never could get myself to rename it either.
Exactly. It is like being at a club until closing and then the lights come on. It no longer feels cool to be there. Feels like I'm just standing around in a school gym filled with too many people.
This is on the heels of Stratolaunch deciding not to pursue the design and development of their own launch vehicle in January of this year.(1)

Instead they pivoted to customizing their massive airframe to launching Norththrop's Pegasus XL rockets.

Editorializing I'd guess that Paul Allen's estate pushed the company to figure out if there was a short term commercialization opportunity with Northrop, found there wasn't, and is cutting their losses.

Tough to be a space faring startup without a billionaire sponsor bankrolling you as a passion project.

People need tools to build the apps that run on their devices, apps without which they would make significantly less money.

FWIW this has been a question on the ESTA (visa waiver for, say, Australians) for at least 2 years.
I still use Winamp 2.x on my Win 10 PC. I have had my MP3s sorted as /mp3/genre/artist/album since mp3s first started and it suits me just fine. I’ll right-click either a genre, artist, or album folder and Play In Winamp.

I use Spotify on my phone but I’m someone who listens to pretty much all the same music that I always have, so Spotify is more replicating my mp3 collection due to a lack of being able to have Winamp on iOS. I’d love to have Winamp on mobile though, it’s still the easiest fastest and cleanest music player I’ve ever used.
Yep. I’d love to see an implementation of this in the wild built on top of logical decoding:

Also a secondary backup doesn't need to be in hot storage. Coldline or Glacier or similar can easily be a quarter of the price per GB.
If you right-click any local song¹ there's an option in the context menu to show the song in the Finder.

¹Music available in iCloud Music Library but not explicitly downloaded locally doesn't offer this of course.
that s not my memory at all. there were tons of all kinds of fancy player players in linux or windows (winamp? i dont think it was relevant then). Itunes was nothing special, in fact it was so odd that it had to scan every file, and have its own library, ending up with a stale library if you deleted a few songs. I doubt people who did not purchase songs used it
And all of those iOS developers have somehow gotten along just fine without doing their development on an iOS device.
Competing Approaches to Functional Reactive Programming
What do you mean by non-religious reason? What about non-Christian holidays that are school days? Is that non-religious?

Has this been decided in jurisprudence?
This is not true at all. Yes, when crossing an international border, USBP doesn't need a warrant to search you. If you're not crossing a border, but are within 100 miles, they do need a warrant.

As a US citizen, they have to let you in, even if you don't cooperate. Of course, they can harass and delay you, but you still have most of your rights.
All these regulations seem like regulatory capture for current landlords and an indirect tax imposed by the contractor industry in general. Just another barrier to keep people who don't have money from competing with those who do.
...anyone want to explain why they have a problem with this? Personally I find it really interesting that a web framework that dates back to NeXT is still in production behind widely used software.
Racism is becoming the catch-it-all excuse that you can throw at pretty much anything to justify why you should take it down.

With that technology, maybe it would be possible to keep a complete replica on the GPU.
Novelty has diminishing returns when you don't optimize for something else; there are many more ways to be wrong than there are to be right, after all.
But is that because it's a mental limitation or is it brought on by the interface?
$1000 sounds really expensive. You can definitely get something cheaper than that, specially if you don't try to purchase something that is also a dryer (drying things on a clothesline is also cheaper...). If you are living alone, you might even be able to get away with an $100 "RV trailer" washing machine.

I think what you were really doing here is finding a way to justify your choice of relying on a laundry service :)

So you get a visa of some kind, maybe it's not just a tourist visa but one that lets you stay here for years, maybe eventually you even get a green card, maybe you get married and have kids here.

If they ever find even one of those identities, they can legally kick you out forever.

If you even later get citizenship, they can possibly revoke that citizenship and kick you out forever.

It's a pretty big risk there.
I think you misunderstood those emails. They are just there to help you if you didn't realize some process was stuck or something, they specifically say "This is not meant as a warning or a representation that you are misusing your resources." and you can also change the value that triggers those emails or disable them completely.
That's probably a reason to use containerization / other technologies so that you can spin up your services in a couple minutes on a different cloud provider.
I'm curious about the underlying push tech. Is Hasura using firebase to handle that? Then firebase relies on different push services depending on the client, like Apple's push service for iOS and http/2's push for web (which is supported by what percentage of browsers)?
I agree with this article that there is far too many Associate Vice Provosts and whatever other countless administrators ballooning university budgets these days that are jacking up tuition costs but it veers into right-wing identity based political talking points territory very quickly.

I also naively believe the amount of government funded loans are like a function mapping to the growth of tuition. Ever since they introduced these guaranteed loans universities became enormous structures filled with political appointees that enjoy travel and free campus housing benefits that don't exist in private industry. This wouldn't be so bad if they gave something back, such as creative commons textbooks or openly available recorded lectures but here these are tightly controlled behind paywalls despite the bulk of our tax dollars subsidizing these schools. Oddly enough I've found US ivy league schools or MIT the only instutions worldwide most likely to give away their full curriculums. Meanwhile my taxpayer stealing mega campus located beside me wouldn't even let any of us plebs use their library let alone offer us a lecture in say, linear algebra.
Also, I think that this article was inherently political. To ask me not to mention politics in my comment of it is not in good faith. I can't see how this isn't more stifling to intellectual curiosity.
>the whole exercise generates probably very little intellectual value outside of this context

Why do you assume that the R&D required to produce this vehicle is somehow wasted effort?
The filesystem is strictly hierarchal. How do you have one song in multiple playlists without duplicating the songs? How do you propose to make that usable for the average person. History kind of proves that Apple took the right approach in the iPod era. The simple drag files to an attached device MP3 players failed to become successful.
No it was definitely a ticket from their support, telling us we were noisy neighbors. They told us we needed to increase the size of our VMs.
I call them "developers".
If it in effect doesn't exist, then the rest of the money in circulation is worth more due to its scarcity being increased. Net economic activity is thus unaffected.
