Yep, I've mentored junior developers over video chat and Slack. If they have good communication skills (which is much needed for remote!) then they can write questions or ask to be shown something remotely just as well as in person.
I used to love upgrading my home desktop, I'd research specs, figure out the best price/performance and upgrade components regularly (motherboard, CPU, hard drive, etc).

But now that most of my computer time is spent in a web browser (most of my coding is done at work so I rarely even run an IDE at home), I'm happy with my 5 year old laptop.

I built a nice 8 core Xeon desktop about 4 years ago, but haven't powered it on at all in at least the past 2 years, I moved a year ago and haven't even taken it out of the box, it's still sitting beside the computer desk.

This is interesting...Apple and Google are going in totally different directions, based on their market strengths. Not a shocker but I'm interested to see how it plays out.

I've not read any of the apple docs so I'm not sure but I suspect Sign In with Apple is going to be required as an option, not required to be used. In other words a given app may have Facebook, Google, Apple sign in.

I don't think it's required today but what if Google takes the same stance as Apple and mandates that all Play Store apps must have Google sign in available.

So not 400 but at least two and likely three since Facebook is popular too.

If Apple mandates the use of Sign In then I think there may be some monopolistic issues. I'm not familiar with the actual law, grossly generalizing some comments below the theme is Apple cannot be monopolistic since there is an alternative in Android and Android has a larger world wide market share. I don't understand that line of reasoning but admit I do not know what the law says. Seems to me if you have complete control and it's harmful than that is monopolistic...
Sort of a tangent here, but I find very often in the workplace that my managers want me to tell them about how I "know" something will work. I never know if something will work. I can only be mostly sure that it will. It goes against my nature so much to respond to these questions the way that they want.

Also note, why do you assume that "we" would be in control? Suppose a government took control of your genome? Or a private company? Given the expense there is almost no way it would be democratic.

Totally agree. However, one major selling point of Steam for me is the practically seamless Proton compatibility layer (while acknowledging the philosophical disconnect between running Linux and buying DRM'd games...)
I mean, sure, but it's the best they can do while remaining compatible with all the Go code out there.
In a desperate attempt to get me to take Xeon Phi seriously, Intel once sent me a free Xeon Phi server. I still have the thing, but because the boards were passively cooled, the server fans sounded like an F-14 (edited) trying to take off from an aircract carrier when I booted the thing up. I ended up extracting the Xeon Phis and using them in consumer cases with a much quieter fan blowing on them. It also weighs a ton, but I digress...

I used to be unbalanced regarding this. I could go from sweaty paranoid anxiety attack in some non geek group to smooth girl talker in my CS class group.

It made me even more insane how I could wave back and forth that much. It's also telling that a big chunk of it is due to how you perceive you relatively to the env.
People got confused and started thinking there was something virtuous about not having kids.

Which, in my opinion, is one of the most anti-human sentiments that you could construct.

In a weird way, one could make an abstract argument that choosing not to have kids has an element in common with murder. It’s reducing the amount of lived human life.

Regardless, on a practical level we are seeing non-replacement birthrate in advanced countries ... and people are complaining about it ... while making parenting as unpleasant as we can possibly imagine ...

This is also part of the same philosophy, but turned sideways. Instead of viewing children as a resource they are viewed as a huge obligation, and we seem to feel a little guilty about bringing them in to the world.

It’s fascinating.

I understand your heuristics, but let it not drift towards the naturalistic fallacy.

Rotenone, an insecticide produced by some plants, is used in organic farming because it is naturally ocurring. It has been pointed out as a cause for Parkinson disease in farmers.[1]

The likelihood of danger should be approached without any preconceived ideas.

I remember someone doing a Show HN and getting heavily criticized and downvoted for their spam practices (as I recall, their tool was designed to bypass Gmail's antispam measures for "marketers") - despite making a lot of money. So, not all is lost.
Sure, but that extrapolation is called arithmetic.
I agree. Our framework, libraries, and/or interfaces can and should make a bigger difference than programming language.

If you have to use the "weird parts" of a language to get typical work done, you are doing something wrong. And if you are not using the weird parts, then programming languages look and do pretty much the same thing.

Braggings such as, "look! My language can do double recursive lambda backflips while blindfolded and chewing gum!" are mostly just 1950's car racing done in cubicles. We buy cars to get to work and shops as cheaply and conveniently as possible, not beat Fonzy.
I'm building out a remote team now - nearly 15 developers - as a division in a regular 'on premise' tech company. And all is going well. However, there is one huge problem I haven't heard any good ideas around - how do I onboard young talent? I can't hire an intern or new college grad into an office by them selves and thinking they can work from their parents basement isn't so hot either.

In reading some of the other articles from the source link, the site makes some fairly large claims based on thin evidence and appears pretty anti American and pro Russian propaganda. I'm not sure the sure can claim to not be guilty of the very same thing it is claiming others are guilty of.

First you say the guardian isn't reliable, but then you quote it and cherry pick data from it. So which is it? Not reliable or not reliable for facts you don't like?

Before you were talking about 'communist Portland', you also said that all initiatives to help the homeless are 'socialism'.

I honestly want to learn about this. You might have a point, but you seem to have an agenda, for example you made up up that all costs related to homeless programs are new costs (on top of existing programs) when the article clearly states otherwise.

It seems you want to play to win, not to learn and your mind is already made up. You have already made up facts multiple times in this thread and used words wrong without regard for the truth. This to me shows a lack of intelectual honesty and I don't really feel like engaging such behavior any further.
That's still an open office.
Ah yes! Sorry it is – just launched. What country are you interested in seeing?
It's not an extreme interpretation, it's the reality of the situation.
It's no different than mutations so what you're basically saying it's that people with genetic mutations aren't human. Also, pretty much any difference can be seen as a "mutation" since everyone has different genes.
I wonder as far as education goes if graduating college, working, and then returning for a masters or similar things would be a better pattern. Or even graduating high school, working, college, working, college, or something else would be a better pattern.

I've worked with some folks with MBAs who have no clue about how to work with people / think they're just "the boss" and what they say goes because no reason at all. Worked with folks with CS degrees who I don't think really like to code / can't troubleshoot at all.

Front heavy education seems efficient on the surface, but I'm not sure makes sense without having a perspective on what life is like after that.
I agree. Everyone seems to have a hard on for remote work but I don't understand it.
I often receive flak for expressing a similar opinion when people express disappointment at CS not teaching them "how to code". Your tuition is best spent on conceptually difficult material, not stuff you can easily pick up on your own.
pull yerself together, man! :)
It appears that people have wisened up to this style of business...

More to the point, I think there was a profound amount of attention scrutinizing Monsanto, more than any other company I can think of.

The concept of Monsanto's business model has been probably the most chilling example of vendor lock-in ever imagined, and certainly throughout the 1980's and onward, raised more than a few eyebrows anywhere it was explained.

It really resonates to the core of human values as a concept of highly calculated evil, executed as a long game. Apologists will shrug their shoulders, and with open hands, suggest that it's enough to say that a company motivated to earn money is justified in any behavior, and that the truth is that natural modes of food supply would strangle and starve civilization, were it not for innovators creating expanded production volumes by exploiting powerful technologies under tightly controlled circumstances.

But, it's clear that Monsanto's products and services represent a direct threat to those who dare to depend on them. Genetic modfication of herbicide/pesticide resistant food supplies, combined with litigation designed to destroy unlicensed supplies, all to further sales of proprietary organisms and their matching chemicals, is such an intuitively horrific system of practices that it begs disbelief.

And with that, you have the far reaching attention that glyphosphate weed killer and genetically engineered crops have brought upon those who would seek to threaten the world with them.

To properly internalize the ideas in play, one can handily imagine what it means, should anything ever go wrong. Every mouth fed by food grown as corporate product will starve, if ever there's an incident that precludes the use of the product.

Thus, if Monsanto's genetic engineering enables crops that feed two billion, and suddenly, next year, for any reason, farmers are made to cease production, well... what happens to two billion people?

Except, it's worse than that. Because it's not like you can draw a line around those two billion people. They aren't living in some enclave, sealed off in a parallel universe. It's not a hypothetical person that eats RoundUp Ready food. We've all probably eaten some, and now, we'll all have to cram into the same life boat if something goes wrong, and the mistake can't be reversed.
Peloton - is it like the Juiceroo of 2019?
I'm getting a bit sick of journalists acting like they should be above the law. This comes across as though it's an audacious abuse of authority for any law enforcement official to even think about stepping foot into a media companies office. No, you are subject to criminal investigation just like anyone else is.

I'm always amazed how qickly the media closes ranks when one of their own is perceived to be under attack. The outcry is always from other journalists.

No. Well established with thousands of people paying.
This is indeed correct. But a 60% increase isn't a 400% one, and talking about the increase of healthcare cost is very different from complaining about «lazy and selfish babyboomers going to the spa instead of working longer».

These are the two things I criticized in the original comment.
You don't even need to reach for a controversial quasi-journalist. Normal, boring American journalists are targeted, which is a far worse situation.
I'm pretty amazed that people on this forum are so quick to jump on the side of an authoritarian right-wing government over press freedom.

Seems the "advanced cultures" tend to send their so called "civilized" companies into these regions and they historically have acted very uncivilized (in many cases worse than the local bush-people with no formal education).

Wouldn't be suprising if ebola is being spread in Congo for the same reasons that HIV was spread by the apartheid South African government.

Natural resources make our so called "civilized" do some almost subhuman things (remember many of the beneficiaries are US companies/shareholders).
Eh, I wouldn't say it was a mistake. Those people got you through a tough time, and I'm sure it was mutual. Now you realize you want something different, and that's okay too.

"From a technical standpoint, I don't understand why the adtech companies don't just serve ads via APIs consumed by website owners, and served to clients via the primary domain."

I also would like to know why there is so much resistance to this, which was the original model of ads on websites ...

rsync.net stopped advertising, in all venues, about two years ago - mainly because the overlap between "people smart enough to use rsync.net" and "people who don't use an adblocker" is basically zero. Nobody who cares about our product ever saw our ads.

But, of course, we still have some interest in advertising our product and, to that end, I have approached several websites and offered very good money to just insert two lines of plain text on their HTML page. No "network", no code blob, nothing interactive ... no picture ... just an extra line of text, with a bit of it href'd for a link.

Huge pushback on that. No interest. "Impossible".

I really don't understand the responses I've gotten ...
I don't see this, or many other examples, as journalists acting like they are above the law, or as a normal criminal investigation.

What would you think about their transparency and impartiality if they didn't report on a story they're involved in? That's why.
I know there are better examples, but the one that always comes to mind for me is Asbestos. Everyone thought that was safe, now it kills 100,000+ people a year.

And to make matters worse, companies were able to suppress evidence of its danger for decades. We never know what evidence is being withheld from us, so I feel like a little irrational paranoia is actually rational.

Edit: Oh, and how about Exxon withholding all that information about climate change for 40 years? That's another good one.
Oh man, does this sound familiar... I think my potential barrier for engaging in a social encounter is lower than yours, but the general pattern is the same. I hate being around people for too long but then I crave their company.

Also consider that many xeon workstation/server boards have limited sleep state support. Any newer i3/i5/i7 will enter S5 sleep and barely sip 1w, with instant on wake. The time you save sitting waiting for the machine to start up (workstation/server boards are also insanely slow to post) will be worth the investment in a newer setup.

That is correct: the actor library is no longer used by default, although it can be imported and used in one's own server. The best part about using Rust is that it has shown to have a very good shelf life when a project reaches maintenance mode -- see the iron web framework as an example.

If the actix library suits your needs, why look elsewhere? Develop expertise and maintain it. If another actor project exists, the same risk of continuity applies.
They look different to me. Australia is flexing its anti-speech authority, asserting the power to control what its subjects are allowed to talk about. My hometown cops are engaged in a much more quotidian abuse of power.

Which is not to say ransacking Carmody's place wasn't egregious - it was. Watching the circular firing squad composed of the Mayor, the police chief and the cop-union attack dog just leaves me rooting for injuries.

But ultimately it is a stupidity eruption caused by the cops' arrogant attempts to control their own (garbage) reputation. Our cops are criminals, but not part of a national strategy to shut down speech.

Well, we must have completely different applications in mind then.

My experience with epoxy is building boats. Mostly spruce stock and birch plywood, fibergrass all around for surface protection and stiffening; 12-16 meters length.

Can't call this a pro operation, there's that.

Still in my experience, thin epoxy joins are the strongest.

We've tested spliced plywood to destruction - not once did it fail along the joint; delamination across factory glue was always the case.
>> Researchers have trained honeybees to match a character to a specific quantity, revealing they are able to learn that a symbol represents a numerical amount.

I don't know if this is very convincing. From what I see in the images shown in the article, the "specific quantities" are represented by different arrangements of various symbols- squares, stars etc.

The article doesn't say whether these arrangements were randomised in each image.

For instance - the number "3" could be _always_ associated with the same arrangement of any symbol. Say, a triangle formed by three identical symbol. In that case it would be impossible to know whether the bees learned to count the shapes or just identify their arrangment. Learning to identify a triangle doesn't say anything about the ability to identify quantities.

The fact that neither of the two groups trained on the two different tasks (character-to-quantity and quantity-to-character) could generalise their learning to the opposite task also doesn't bode well. It is exactly what you would expect to see if the setup for each task had some other, uncontrolled for, variable that the bees "overfitted" to, rather than learning what is theorised they did learn.
It's actually an outstanding problem with feeding ruminants. In pasture raised animals, they tend to forage on things that avoid giving them problems by avoiding over-grazing thru taste and foraging patterns, but in a small contained yard of constantly cut grass the toxins will build up because the plant responds as if it is over-grazing.

It's not bullshit at all. Let's look at it a different way. If a child has some physical mutation such as webbed feet, an extra finger, or some other physical difference that they wouldn't affect their health, you're telling me a doctor shouldn't ask if a parent would like to have something done about it and instead the child should grow up with that until they are old enough to give consent? When is a proper age for consent?
