It was a swerve into a much more generic and well-trodden controversy. Those lead to threads that are more repetitive and less interesting. But because they're such familiar controversies, they also tend to attract a lot of comments, drowning out the original, less obvious discussion.

Hmm, this feature seems very aggressive. Nevertheless, please consider creating a feature request on GitHub to push it forward and get greater support for it! https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news/issues
In an international framework, law is whatever a particular country can enforce. In other words, whoever has the biggest stick will ultimately have their way. This has nothing to do with technology, but fundamental political facts of life that are unlikely to change.

The players might change, but the game is the same.

for a while I was on the board of a day care. We were not -for-profit, but charged only a little less than for-profit day care. Some things about cost: Running the building cost more than I thought, and we got free rent. Heat, insurance, repairs, etc, were all more than I expected. Plumbing & HVAC repairs alone were more than I would have thought for the whole building. We had only two teachers with benefits, but it cost about $10k per month just for their benefits and statutory taxes. That is, we spent $10k every month on labor before the teachers received dollar one.
>you have no guarantee that what's on paper is what happened....

Can't speak for others, but we were deathly afraid of submitting anything dependent on papers that we had not verified ourselves to 100% satisfaction. This actually held us up a lot, but it was safer than taking a chance that you would get it by those people at the FDA. Now of course, we were making software, and when you deal with computer science research, there are a lot of BS papers out there. I remember reading through papers on ray tracing, which had supposedly been peer reviewed, but were presenting arithmetic that was entirely incorrect. Literally every paper we found on this particular algorithm was riddled with almost identical mathematical errors. It was crazy. (I would say that computer scientists have got to be the worst mathematicians I've seen during my time in the sciences.) In any case. I knew that one of the people we were dealing with was a pretty good math guy. Yeah, we decided not to chance it.

Having bogus research out there is one thing, getting lucky enough to slip it by the FDA is something entirely different. Don't mistake those two things for the same issue, it could cost your company. Or worse, if you do manage to slip it by the FDA, it could cost your freedom when your bass ackwards ortho normal basis calculation switches left and right, and the surgeon goes in after the wrong kidney.
Hi all, I am the creator of STUMPY and wanted to thank you for your interest. Please feel free to post questions on our Github issues and we'll try to assist where we can.
Ask HN: What's Next as Senior Webdev?
(Throwaway since coworkers read HN)

I've been working professionally as a Rails (and sometimes other stuff) developer for about six years, and for the past year+ have been at a startup. The work/team/business have all been fine, and I negotiated to work less hours (which is an important benefit to me).

The first ~10 devs were more experienced than I am, but most of them left and we recently replaced them with more junior people. All of the remaining devs except me were just promoted into hybrid management-engineer roles. I have a performance review coming soon, but will continue as an IC—the company needs productive hackers, and the available management slots have been filled (NB: fine by me). So I'm trying to figure out what's next.

I haven't been growing technically: we don't use any tech I haven't used a lot beforehand, and I don't want to come up with contrived projects just to learn, say, a new frontend framework. I've already put a lot of effort into understanding the business side of things, and have spent a year efficiently turning poorly-specced stories into working code (frequently collaborating with stakeholders in other departments). As the company matures, though, if anything my autonomy is decreasing (since now we have a proper product team, more process, etc.).

On the other side, though, it's not always so easy to find a startup with strong engineering practices and sensible business decisions (especially outside of the Bay Area), and I also really appreciate the schedule flexibility I have.

A confounding variable is that I'm planning to move overseas to pursue a master's degree (in an unrelated field) next year, I believe I could keep my current job as a remote worker (and still have the time and energy to keep up with school), and—though I could get a local job there—American dev salaries seem to be the best.

I talked to my brand new manager briefly and he said he'd have to get back to me.

What do you recommend?
The business stands to lose something by trying this: when I learn that they knowingly entrap their own employees in this manner, I will refuse to work with them. I'm sure I'm not alone. Given the cluelessness of many companies' recruitment, they may very well not realize this, but they will in aggregate lose out on some portion of viable talent.
I work with a guy who took it for three months without having worked a day at the place besides orientation. The company knew about his situation prior to hiring him and were totally fine with it - they even arranged gifts etc. The place I work is Japanese but takes a lot of pride in shunning the work culture commonly associated with Japan.

Shouldn't this be something that should be delegated down the hierarchy? Presumably - for each purchase - somebody knows whether the purchase is needed. If the person in question has insufficient information to make that decision, all he should do is check that people down the hierarchy made that decision and can be held accountable for it.
>Many things happen and none of them are magical. The glycemic index of a raw fruit isn't the same as a juice from the same fruit for example, you don't get the fibers, &c.

Only if you buy a juice concentrate. Making your own juice is equivalent to chewing an orange.

>You're free to believe what you want. A slime of chicken skin, fat and ligaments isn't digested the same way as a chunk of chicken breast. The nutritional values are just a small part of a big equation.

Of course not, I'm not arguing for that. What I am arguing for is that there's nothing inherently unhealthy about eating any of those things, and that offal is actually very nutritious.

>That's another side of my point, they evolved on that diet, most people didn't. Do you think the lifestyle of the average first worlder has anything to do with inuit lifestyle?

If an American adopted the diet of an inuit in such a way that their caloric needs are satisfied then I doubt it would matter. It is definitely possible that the inuit have evolved in some ways to accomodate for their diet, do you have any sources for that?
Exactly: you should certify that to the best of your knowledge those things are true so you got it. There might be one in inventory on the other side of the country but still it was better to buy one rather than try to figure that out (or wait for that, and cheaper than shipping it even if it existed).

It should be a check box on your expense report.
A New Name for Quora?
Ah, an issue close to my heart. I work full-time on open source, making my money from three places:

1. Donations directly via Patreon, Liberapay, and fosspay[0]

2. Paid subscriptions on Sourcehut [1]

3. Part-time consulting gigs [2]

[0] https://drewdevault.com/donate

[1] https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3C2019042616072...

[2] https://drewdevault.com/consulting (numbers undisclosed)

With 1 & 2 alone, I'd be making about $34,000. Not poverse, but I am preparing to move into a 200 sq ft apartment in a couple of months. Consulting gigs help a lot - working on these anywhere from 0-24 hours a week brings me up to a comfortable standard of living.

I think what helps is that I'm a person, not a project. By working on lots of different projects, I get a lot of different people interested in paying for my work. The income from any of my ventures alone would not pay me a livable wage.

I've put a lot of thought into how to make money from FOSS, if anyone has questions or wants to send me their thoughts, I'm listening.
Hi! Thanks for your kind words.

Since this is a browser extension, it's almost completely written in JavaScript only. You can check the entire code on the GitHub repo itself! Feel free to email me anytime :)
This isn't just a bug report; this is more like lockpicking instructions.
You may be right that CDNJS is more likely to result in cache hits, it's just that none of these figures actually help in finding out the answer.

CDNJS being in 1000 small github blogs could easily be less impactful than a single large website using jsDelivr. We have no idea if the github projects are even used.

Again, it may well be the case that it's better in this way, but these figures show nothing really either way.

Here's a bit of an attempt at looking more at it, though I don't know their methodology:

So the fork basically violated GIMP's license, right? I think it's very far fetched to conclude "GIMP crew will happily throw a hissy fit at any fork" from that!
Coffee (with no milk or sugar) is actually really healthy. It has practically no calories, is high in antioxidants, and feels filling (so you might eat less and thus consume fewer calories). Studies have also linked it to higher longevity and reduced risk of heart disease, liver failure, and Alzheimer's.

It's when you get a grande vanilla latte from Starbucks that you load up on milk, sugar, and caffeine.
I see timeouts as a chance for emotional thinking to subside and return to more rational thoughts. They intervene during undesired behaviors, and provide a place to complete the behavior (tantrum).

Augmented Analytics: The Future of OLAP
If I understood correctly, this paper is NOT about a new blazing fast security-breaking CS-history-changing algorithm. This paper suggests an algorithm that takes the same amount of time to compute GCD(6, 9) and GCD(123456789, 987654321), to prevent leaking hints on its inputs through side-channels. That is, this thing is basically less efficient, but still runs the same number of instructions no matter the input.

(EDIT: ... as long as inputs have the same bit-length. Any 32-bit inputs will be handled faster than 1024-bit inputs, but any 1024-bit inputs will consume the same amount of time no matter their actual values. That is, 0x0001 and 0x000000001 are handled differently by the algorithm.)

The paper do mention this:

> However, in cryptography, these algorithms are dangerous. The central problem is that these algorithms have conditional branches that depend on the inputs. Often these inputs are secret, and the branches leak information to the attacker through cache timing, branch timing, etc.

So, yeah, this is security-centered cryptography paper. The term "constant-time" is used in a different context here.
My guess is Siemens is going for it because if you can get the load/generation balancing right, it costs much less than hardening. Might also be more resilient. Only way to fully harden these systems is underground them at 10 (100?) times the cost.

There's also probably some research funding provided by DOE for this because it's a new approach. And if it works, it would be beneficial in tons of other places.
This discussion is about India. Why are you bringing in Israel?
A lot of practice that's not directed properly is useless, especially for complex mental skills. For example, I learned Java's stream syntax to the point where I wrote an article that thousands of people read. Do I remember a single thing? No, because I don't use Java every day. I just remember that it sucked compared to LINQ because every collection type had a different method to turn it into a stream. That's it. From weeks of study, practice, and an article. Mostly a complete waste - if it didn't build into my rep, it would be a complete waste.
Chrome is garbage UI-wise, is not faster than Firefox or Safari as far as I can tell, and everything I use works fine in both those browsers. I do plan to have the Chromium version of Edge installed for the odd site that might be buggy without Chrome and I think that should be good enough.
No, but you just lost the whole reason you pushed back in the first place as you have signed a form saying you read something you haven't read.
Let's try replacing FLOSS with scientific research and see how wrong it sounds:

"Author also comes from perspective that somehow research in itself is good and should be sustained. Scientific research projects are not endengered species to keep it alive.

If no one is interested in paying for research, then people don't need it. Simple as that, when science breaks like open ssh companies will chip in... "
The OP said

> I overheard other patients saying things like "I'm not signing something I haven't seen"

So it sounds like this was a common complaint

Best bet is to get International data roaming then use your phone to check email etc. If you are transiting via Singapore would recommend you to get a Singapore sim which supports international data roaming and using it in China.
I'm still dialing in the perfect pot of coffee, so I'll change a variable in my process each morning.

Aeropress is highly conducive to repeatability and experimentation, due to its tight control of the immersion time interval. I was trying to be careful with pour-over, and still found that I couldn't quite get it down. Now, I can even adjust for the age of the beans I have on hand. (You can go hotter and briefer, to get the caffeine and good stuff, but absorb extracting unpleasant stuff.) Do read and follow the instructions to start.

One big disadvantage is that the filters absorb the oils, but all brewing methods that use filters have this. Also, it uses a lot of grounds to produce a little bit of extract. (Which I dilute and drink as Americano.)
There are a whole lot of restrictions like this, because the society there is so small and isolated it basically doesn't have the infrastructure to deal with childbirth, very sick people and old people. But people who live there and have babies on the mainland do bring them back to Svalbard after they are born, and there is a kindergarten and a school. You're allowed to stay there after you are retired, but then you're on your own, you can't ask for any of the healthcare benefits that pensioners are entitled to.

There's also a whole lot of other exceptions, like different taxation from the mainland, exemption from needing a snowmobile licence to drive a snowmobile, permission to carry firearms almost everywhere, etc. The prices of e.g. milk and fresh produce are astronomical, while alcohol is cheap.
Probably not a good idea for his purposes, as the app with use that to authenticate you in the future, and you may not have the same text2speech program readily available when it does.
Prezi seems to be the closest modern presentation tool building on these ideas. I think the concept of engaging spatial intelligence is brilliant but I find the creation UX not as intuitive as I’d like. https://prezi.com/

Anyone have other examples of mindmappy software with good UI?
Yeah, that's a backend issue, it's how Hacker News handles the forms after they have been submitted. Nevertheless I will look into this, please consider creating an issue on the GitHub repo too! :)

I read the average life on these scooters is 30 days before they are completely wrecked. People don't need to hotwire them to take them; I've seen teenagers riding them while locked and just pushing them along un powered, scooter beeping away.
How about Edward Snowden being housed, clothed and fed by the same Russian government that was interfering with US elections and providing information to Wikileaks?
We have a browser extension that we use for moderation. A few of the features here overlap surprisingly with what that one does. One of these years I want to open-source it, but I need to factor out the moderation-only features, which is one of those tasks that never makes it to the top of the stack.
Most people that think about the effects of drink-n-driving tend to link it to deaths. In reality, a majority of the cost is tied to public/private property damage. In that case, it is valid to argue that a drunk drone pilot can incur serious damage to electrical grids, increased odds of moving the drone to heights associated with airplanes/helicopters among many other issues.
"I reviewed the statement of someone that a London paper claimed to be speaking for some part of the Taliban. Remember, the Taliban is actually not a homogenous group. And the statement, as far as such things go, was fairly reasonable, which is that they would not trust these documents; they would use their own intelligence organization's investigations to understand whether those people were defectors or collaborators, and if so, after their investigations, then they would receive appropriate punishment. Now, of course, that is — you know, that image is disturbing, but that is what happens in war, that spies or traitors are investigated."

>but that's simply not what he is being charged with.

I didn't say that it was.

>But again, that doesn't change that they should've done more to redact them.

Correct. I don't believe that they actually have been more careful subsequently, but it's irrelevant in any case.
Now I'm curious if these forms go the way of EULAs in the past, where it became obvious nobody is reading them and they agreement is compulsory to proceed to use the software, so it became understood that the agreement is effectively void because of the way it is presented and used.

I think if it can be shown that the provider is making it difficult for the consumer to actually read the form before signing, a judge will actually be more upset with the provider.

What is a patient supposed to do in this case? Leave the office? What if this appointment was scheduled several months in advance, which is not an uncommon wait time? To put this in the way of a patient's health should not be acceptable.
I'm aware of the death restriction due to the issue with it being permanently frozen there - the birth restriction mostly seems to be a simple lack of facilities that may lead to endangering the mother and child. I'd assume the birth restriction is more just down to liability and safety.
Hate to be "that guy", but public blockchain technologies are another strong tool that people have for resisting censorship [0]. It's much, much harder to nullroute blockchain traffic as opposed to nullrouting a website with information you want to censor. It's also very clear that the CCP is afraid of such technologies [1]

The rub is of course, this censorship-resistance being predicated on the consensus mechanism of a blockchain not being concentrated in one country.

Sapphire is too brittle to be of much use in a phone screen. It would increase scratch resistance but be more prone to breaking than chemically strengthened glass. It works for watches because they can make it thicker to compensate.
Hundreds of thousands protesting, hundreds who attack police and try to storm a government building... Seems like a pretty measured response. Try that in any other country.
“Hand in approving” is an important factor: approval is such a complex process no one person is really decisive, except possibly at the very very beginning.

Drug companies used to hire multiple trucks simply to deliver their submissions.
the same should then apply to "adopting the tool to the process" instead of "adopting the process to the tool" when a new technology is implemented but process and behavior are declared immutable.
Ok, mail sent.

Thank you for this. So often we rip on government agencies from our perch on...Hacker News, when we really have no idea what's going on.

We do work with the Government in a different context, and I've found nothing but professionalism and deep expertise. In fact the people I've met in the agencies we're working with are some of the smartest I've encountered in my entire career.
Generating sequence diagrams from tests in Golang
My argument would be to look into the studies made by numerous universities from all around the world, not just American ones. I have no business telling you whether or not you should trust American government entities, it's not my country. But the world has had medicines and universities for longer than the United States has existed.
There really is very little to celebrate in Windows. OSX had/has a belief in quality (even if Apple didn’t always live up to it, and lately they’ve shredded the HIG altogether) that inspired devotion in a way Windows never could.

In addition, OSX has always had a strong culture of customers willing to pay for quality software, that has allowed independent smaller companies to flourish. There is no such equivalent in Windows. The Windows culture appears to be one of providing shareware, that was cracked and used for free by individuals, and developers were ok with it because they actually made money from enterprise users who would pay up.
That was nice use case of blockchain
That is the result of the brilliant idea of "concurrent development", where they start producing aircraft for delivery before the testing and validation phase is done. The idea was that computer modeling would obviate the need for extensive real world testing and that the time and cost savings would justify the approach. And of course, another facet of it is that it makes the whole program more difficult to cancel.

The result has been expensive retrofits to the fleet as more and more defects have been found.
Depends on which alternative you're talking about. One alternative is not to execute people or lock them up in inhumane conditions at all (the Norwegians do this). It's not at all clear to me that writing checks when you get it wrong is better.
