If you're paying $2xxK/year and allow remote just post your job link here. I, and all my social circles, are fairly successful devs in a coastal city and would jump on any offer that high as long as we didn't have to move to the midwest

Edit: I mean this as in I know several people including myself who apply for 2xxk/year and remote. Post or dm me and I'll see what people I could send your way
I don't know if I would say "avoid flow" but "working on what does not come easy" is definitely a thing I found important in my journey from "kid who likes to draw" to "ex-animator". Whenever someone asks for advice on breaking art block one of my suggestions is to go draw something they hate to draw.

This attitude became ingrained enough that when I was taking pole dance class later in life, my instructor noticed that, unlike most beginners faced with a new move they were having difficulty with, I'd make myself spend time experimenting with it instead of falling back to refining earlier basics I was more than good enough for at that stage of my practice. It's a good one to have, IMHO.

And I sure as hell have found ways to complicate my work as time goes on. Constantly doing stuff I can knock out in my sleep gets boring; challenge is fun.
The IRA generally only gave hours warning. The Manchester bombing got 90 minutes, Birmingham pub bombings about ten minutes.
None of the iPhones had removable batteries, and none but the most recent ones are waterproof.
Totally unrelated, but this reminded me of a headline I read in the '70's proclaiming that the Beatles had made a new album using the band name "Klaatu". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaatu_(band)
You are not wrong at all.

That said, self hosting matrix seems to be similarly hard to execute at this point in time - simply too many opaque and moving components on the server side.

The riot client is also incredibly slow for my taste.
You store the expression. Because that expression is a computable real, you can calculate it to arbitrary precision.

This is quite inefficient for things like summing over a list. Or really, any kind of accumulation.
Even taken at face value, removing something in full view of US Navy (present at the scene for 4 hours) is not the same thing as "attaching" mines. It may well be that they were collecting evidence, on the record helpfully provided by US.

It is also interesting that a 3rd world country's navy has better camera equipment than the premiere power.
"With advance warning, I'm going to fly a robot into an area where your rules will require you to not fly airplanes into the airport" is quite a bit weaker (note the absence of any actual threat to the airplanes).
I said "bomb threat", not bomb. A false bomb threat is a way to disrupt and annoy an adversary. Like a mass droning.

Flow (as defined by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi) is between frustration and boredom because either the activity is too difficult or too easy.
Which app types require permanent bluetooth access? Bearing in mind that connected to bluetooth audio is handled for apps by the system.

Not being snarky, genuinely unsure what would need this. You’re definitely right that a single app with permissions and the sdks would be enough.
This is definitely overblown.

There is official training program for government officials from China to Singapore. Probably inspired China's confident rejection of western government model and insist on strict top-down control.

But China's inspiration is from USA.

Everything, literally, everything is set to use USA as the inspirational counterpart. I mean, literally, everything. Name anything you can think of, I can tell a story how the daily life has the USA reference or influence.
Thanks for the reply!

Was it accessing/presenting raw NOAA data? Or a different source? I notice the data is thru 1990; different from NOAA.

Is the php source available for reverse engineering?
This was a really interesting read, though I would interpret its message more as 'avoid flow during practice and work on the hard things, so during your performance you can focus on your vision instead of constantly thinking about avoiding mistakes.'

It's an interesting counterargument to the 'train how you perform' philosophy.
No, it was an article in Time, but not a cover story. Any image you see of a cover story is fake.
Engineering, technology, and science are deeply political, where politics isn't restricted to governments, parties, or official state systems. Refusal to recognize that doesn't change it.

The GPL is a licence that was created by people well-aware of the political significance, and it is the embodiment of certain political intentions in form of a licence. Projects that consciously use it can be expected to act upon those political intentions. Not understanding actions upon those political intentions is rather a sign of not understanding the situation.
You can imagine an infinite-precision-real package that checks whether numerator and denominator are the exact same object and optimizes that case away.

(And I wonder idly from time to time about making one that does know a bit about some particularly nice classes of number -- e.g., algebraic numbers -- and does all the things you'd like it to as long as you stay within such a class. Obviously as soon as you ask it for sqrt(2)+pi all that would go out the window.)
I recommend Dan Carlin's episode on Japan in the '20s and '30s.
Soon after stopping glaciers will come stopping technological human civilization. Maybe that won't stop war, but it'll reduce scale considerably. So it goes.
I’m saying that you don’t need to memorize an algorithm. For one job I had to maintain a proprietary compiler/VM/IDE that never saw the light of day outside of the company. I needed to solve an arbitrarily complex algebraic expression in a string. I had no idea how to do it. I found both algorithms I needed with a quick google search and implemented them in C - one was converting the expression to RPN and the other was implementing the “Shunting Yard Algorithm”. Would I have also been dinged because I didn’t know those two algorithms off the top of my head?
Why would it be empty? I can name several socially responsible companies like Blackbaud (software for non profits) and Docusign (sponsors save the rainforest initiatives)
We have video of some people doing something next to a big ship. Any interpretation beyond that from the US government can’t be trusted. Remember the photos of Iraqi WMD?

You’re right, Iran might have really done this. It’s also highly, highly likely that this is a big steaming pile of bullshit from the US.

What to do? Well, the consequences of acting on a US lie would be catastrophic. The consequences of failing to act on a real act by Iran would be negligible. The choice is clear. I pray we choose wisely, for once.
Click-bait title, it's not what you think, not about RxJS Observable, but some company/product.
You are far better at rhetorical argument than me, so the only thing I can do is state my values as well as I am capable:

I like your framing of Popper's definition of intolerance, and yes I don't feel that bombing Japan in 1944 was a form of intolerance (it was a form of intolerance of intolerance, which for me is Good). The Japanese were not to be argued with - they were enslaving, experimenting on, and raping the Chinese and Filipinos at a terrifying rate. The ideology can only be not tolerated until it poses existential risk, at which point it has to go the way of the Nazis (and have the entire world fight against it).

For me intolerance doesn't just mean "not open to rational discussion," well, maybe it does? Anybody that believes some humans should have different rights than others is to me intolerant, unless the humans they're intolerating are ones who themselves are seeking to oppress other humans. In my ethic system, it is irrational to view any human as different than another... Unless that human is engaged in oppression. I see the risk for circular logic but I don't feel I've fallen prey to it, I'm just bad at explaining it.

Basically, I don't believe it's ok to have a government step in and say "you aren't allowed to believe these things" to a Nazi. I do believe it's ok for everyone to say "fuck off with your Nazi ideals, you may not present them at this venue / you may not work here while you espouse them." I do believe it's ok for a government to say "your beliefs have in the past empowered violence against humans, you don't get to sit in the park with a megaphone and espouse them. Invite people to your home to talk about it if you want to" i.e. how Germany deals with Nazis in 2019.

At the very least we can see the zeitgeist shifting - KKK demonstrators are hilariously outnumbered in 2019, so things are going in the direction of tolerance by my definition of the word.
I believe etland might be referring to the knowledge provided by discovering the equations, rather than the natural phenomena themselves. But I may be wrong.
> What difference does it make to you in that situation whether the result of the hour of work that you are paid for is licenced under GPL or under a proprietary licencse?

Directly, not at all. But most companies find it very difficult to turn a profit on GPL-licensed software without resorting to things that render the whole thing moot, like being SAAS vendors who never "distribute" the software in the first place. The whole "derivative works" angle on the GPL, then, makes it hard for commercial vendors to make distributable software that relies on GPL packages without putting their own revenue stream at great peril.

So commercial software shops tend to build on MIT, BSD or Apache licensed stuff. Which is typically NBD. My experience has been that fears about "not contributing back" are typically unfounded. Everyone submits pull requests for their bugfixes and enhancements, because nobody wants to deal with maintaining some special snowflake private version of cURL or whatever.

Consequently, I think that the elephant in the room is that, typically, when people complain that there's something akin to a moral obligation to use GPL, what it's really about is fears that someone might make more money than they think is seemly by shipping closed-source software that relies on open-source components. Which, fine, if you don't like that, you do you and license the software however you want. But don't begrudge the rest of us for not being quite so worried about that.

As far as the whole ownership thing goes, I'd say it was pretty clearly implied in your first sentence:

> The programmer doesn't sell code, the programmer sells time writing software. With proprietary software, the owner of that software has a monopoly on the work on that software

That statement tacitly denies the existence of freelance software developers, by implying that all programmers are working for another company for some sort of salary or wage, and don't ever individually own code themselves. Which isn't quite true, and subtly frames things in a way that strips developers of their moral agency.
If someone called in a bomb threat and said "I'm only going to blow up the areas between the runways; don't worry, there will be no loss of life or limb", I'm pretty sure that the response would be the same.

They are doing this because they know that the risk of danger is high enough that officials will shut down air traffic.
Sure, "Nazi" and "white supremacist" get overapplied.

Massively!

But that doesn't mean it's impossible to tell. Look at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville:

Yes, many of the attendees were National Socialist equivalents. However, what I see in recent years, is that someone advocating for Free Speech for everyone can be held falsely equivalent. That's going too far. Someone criticizing Antifa branded violence can be held as falsely equivalent. That's also going too far. Very often, I see ideologues who basically proclaim that people who don't agree with their platform are to be falsely equivalent. Example: Kirsten Gillibrand Compares Being Pro-Life to Racism | ‘The Other Side Is Not Acceptable’

It's as if someone, somewhere, is trying to spread emotionally charged, outrage inducing, anti-intellectual ideas designed to short circuit discourse. As a society, what we instead need to do is to quell outrage, promote intellectual integrity and rational discourse.

In the comment above you talk about Lee’s successful marginalisation of all effective opposition in Singapore. In this one you’re saying Lee could never have become PM of Malaysia. The idea he couldn’t have acted as PM if elected is just nuts. He did a fantastic job for decades in Singapore, he could have been at least an adequate job in a unified Malaysia.

Lee may have been more a tall man in a sea of pygmies than a giant among men but the idea he was anything less than very successful as a politician and statesman is... odd.
Old time programmers often wrote everything down before inputting it and engaged with their code instead of with tests and the debugger. Not to say tests and the debugger don't have their place. Here's the handwritten sheets for the Algol 58 compiler that Don Knuth wrote in assembly for the Burroughs 205.

https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/Knuth_Don...

He's famous as a programmer who got things right the first time. And that's been consistent over his career. A lot of what's in there is obsolete, but notice that even in 1960 he was doing something on paper like the literate programming that he developed later.
> I need to remind myself that when they are bad people, they are merely Osama-level bad people instead of Thatcher-level bad people.

Best line, right there. The full meaning requires calling back to the beginning of the essay, but the complexity of this is amazing, even on the off chance it was quick attempt at a humorous callback.
Terrible..

Traffic will fairly quickly stifle any of the romanticism and beauty surrounding a quick trip up to Mt. Tam or Tahoe. At some point during the 70mins in traffic it takes me to go the ~10 miles from SF to Mt. Tam I realize it just isn’t worth it.
Sorry man, I wish I could help you but I only know a few people on the google app side. I'll poke around but no guarantees.

What is the app though?
The approximate cause of Fukushima was a once-in-a-generation tsunami that exceeded the design constraints that the plant was built under.

Whatever did go wrong at Fukushima wasn't deregulation. That sort of mistake can creep through in even an extremely well regulated environment.

Also, the cost of the cleanup from the Tohoku earthquake that was linked to the tsunami was something like 300 billon; so maybe the fact that they had a design flaw in their nuclear plant maybe doubled the cleanup depending on what the figures on Wikipedia already factor the Fukushima clean up costs in.

Doubling the cost of something is significant, but for an event of that rarity not really a deregulation concern. If you told me that there was a risk of a city being leveled by a tsunami and there was a chance my taxes rising by, say, an unnecessary 10% for 12 months I might (depending on which city) squint at you in confusion about why the 10% was a problem. I've payed 1% disaster levies in my lifetime.

A slight chance of a moderate-in-context one off cost due to a series of unlikely coincidences just doesn't really rate as a major regulatory risk to me. I'd trust the regulators to deal with it for next time as part of their normal process. We have literally had to scour the globe for a decade to find an example where it matters.
Yeah. If this happened to me, I would just completely withdraw from Twitter. Byeeee. :) I actually prefer rss for news and irc for chat.
What impression do you think someone might receive from that byline should they have not been keeping track? Especially given the headlines from last year pointing the finger at eco-protestors before that random guy got arrested? For added comedy points, there has still been no evidence presented that there ever was a drone in that case, but our press still ran headlines about who the culprits were.
Good point. Non-dischargeable civil debt should be illegal.
Just put them into a pot of boiling water with a beer, salt, garlic, and butter. Very good!
This isn't new. I wrote this blog about beacons back in 2015 for the NoSQL vendor Aerospike; there aren't just audio (high frequency) beacons. There are also RF and other spectrum beacons:

I've heard some folks talk about TLS as a "session" layer, and it is fortunate that we no longer have to translate between ASCII and EBCDIC underneath the application, so the "presentation" layer now seems like it is mis-named. Ah how times change.
For fields like tech, college/university might not be necessary but for anything in advanced research or medical fields, you absolutely need to go in uni and higher studies and be certified. Even in tech, you may not need a degree but still need to be certified for the field you are in (ccna, ccnp etc for network admin jobs for example).
Yes, it is another hop to jump through.

>so even someone who _doesn't_ have the requisite experience could learn it?

I consider it a plus. Every company use different technology and different way to do things. Not to mention it keep changing all the time. With a standardize test, even though I don't have the experience with the technology they use, i can still have have a shot.
It's pretty much the main subject of all news coming out of Vancouver for the last year...
Your explanation is meaningless. What trend could I not dismiss as simply being part of your cycles?

There are many fish populations which are on the brink -- but not to worry, we don't need to worry about overfishing, fish populations are cyclical. We don't need to worry about CFCs, the ozone hole is clearly just part of an atmospheric cycle.

Rather than breezy armchair theories, about how about finding some plausible evidence that climate scientists are making this all up?

This has been one of those conversations I've followed for a while. One of the most provocative things about climate change was the notion that Global Warming could accelerate an ice age.

In popular literature, one of the more under appreciated factors in various models is the moisture carrying capacity of the atmosphere. Basically as the mean atmospheric temperature rises, the more moisture it can carry. This leads to the formation of clouds as different temperature air masses meet, and precipitation when the temperature drops below the dew point.

When you run different climate models, if the clouds form in the stratosphere the overall temperature goes up (more CO2 below the clouds to reflect IR back to the ground) if the clouds form in the troposphere the temperature goes down (clouds create a higher albedo and more energy is reflected into space rather than absorbed).

One of the papers discussing inter-glacial periods expressed essentially the same view as the Harper's article which was that kicking off an ice age would require a tremendous amount of material in the troposphere to reflect sunlight, and a bunch of water to condense into snow to boost the albedo of the surface to prevent it from absorbing solar energy and re-radiating it as heat.

In the 80's, when people looked at the possible after effects of a nuclear exchange between the US and the then USSR, it was suggested that the level of soot and ash thrown into the air would cool the planet to a point to enshroud it into a "nuclear winter." Later papers have looked not at nuclear exchanges but simply volcanic activity or firestorms of one form or another.

The duration of these effects is tied to both the amount of sunlight obstructed and reflected and the resulting weather effects.

Using those models it seems plausible that prior to the presence of humans, if the global temperature rose, it would dry out vast tracks of forests and grasslands in the mid-lattitudes, those tracks would be set on fire by lightning creating a tremendous soot load on the atmosphere. Once the soot layer forms, the temperature falls, and the atmosphere drops its moisture as precipitation. If the temperature is low enough it becomes snow, and gets compacted into ice. The ice become glaciers and it takes a while for the cycle to reset.

For me, it is an interesting aspect of climate dynamics on the water cycle as a feedback loop sort of problem. I have yet to see any paper that suggests the 'venus mode' (runaway greenhouse effect leading to boiling the oceans) is any more or less likely than the 'snowball mode', other than we have a geologic record of the planet going snowball mode on its own several times over the last million years.

You need to make some changes and get your acid reflux under control. I had bad acid reflux. Here are things I do to keep it under control:
1. Sleep on a wedge pillow.
2. Meditate. Seriously. When I quiet my thoughts and focus on my stomach, my stomach starts to move and push the food+acid bolus down into my intestines. It happens every time.
3. Don't delay bowel movements. This prevents acid reflux during the day.
4. Drink enough water throughout the day. This helps with the bowel movements.
5. Avoid acidic foods at night: chocolate, tomatoes, and citrus.
6. Mostly stopped drinking alcohol.
7. Stop eating when I'm full.
Okay, but some of that technology exists. Why aren't we adopting it aggressively?
Arguing that a great novel is about one thing and one thing only is not only reductive, it is narcissistic. To think that there is no nuance, nothing that someone can see that you can't, that you know the author's full intentions, is self serving bordering on completely irrational.

In short, no doubt this comment is on HN
Exactly. Forcing officials hands by diverting and disrupting normal aviation activity is the exact outcome this group wants. Not a loss of life. It seems that you understand this point quite well.

The response may or may not be the same if a bomb threat were called, but that’s not what happened and it seems you clearly understand this; I’m forced to then ask-why stretch the metaphor to the point of absurdity as you’ve done above?
'Tis an ill wind, and all that.
A disappointing development. I drank this brew in a ceremony elsewhere from indigenous grounds and it had a profound effect on me. It is a psychotherapeutic treasure beyond all reckoning. One's perceived identity does not have to be "hippie" or anything else in order to find it helpful and edifying. Hopefully this tradition has a future that can include all who need it while be respectful of the culture that developed it.
Because that's where the labor you need is. Because that's where the installed base (nowadays buildings, networks, data centers, ...) is. Because their legal and judicial frameworks are well adapted to the industry. Because of cultural inertia.
Lol, for a lab, they sure aren’t very scientific and I only say that because populist is perhaps one of the most meaningless terms now. This just goes to show, just because you do math doesn’t mean you are that smart.
