I checked the pictures a lot of times, maybe I'm missing something.
I don't want to put words in GP's mouth, but they seem to be making the argument that "ability" comprises multiple considerations, one of which is the meta-consideration that employees should have a range of talents and experiences which are different from one another.

In the moving company example, it would be a mistake to optimize exclusively for physical strength in the hiring process - you're going to want someone who can work out the dimensions of things in their head to tell whether that table is going to fit through that door frame, someone who can put the homeowner at ease while you put their priceless heirlooms on a truck, etc.

In knowledge work, which is the domain I daresay most of us around here will actually be applying this to, there are far more of these variables, many of which are invisible to us. They impact a team's ability to, for example, devise innovative and robust solutions to problems by drawing on a wide range of inspirations, or design products that appeal to target markets beyond what any one team member might be familiar with. Valuing a diverse staff makes a reasonable proxy for these hidden variables.

Your argument, as I understand it, is that a company has the right to choose some characteristic and require that characteristic to be present at or above some standard level in all of the employees it hires. Which is fine, so long as it isn't one of these [0] (in which age is included).

However, I would argue that a term like "tech-native" is not a characteristic - it's a label, and it's loaded from the start. Imagine the moving company puts out a job ad saying that they're looking for "powerlifters" or "muscleheads" or something. What they _mean_ by that (or what they think they mean) is that they want people who are physically strong, regardless of any other characteristic. What they're _saying_ is that they want men, and no woman is going to read that posting and think that the poster is expecting women to apply. And when the candidate gets to the interview, the interviewer is going to try out that label on that candidate, and the label will inevitably be overloaded with connotations far beyond "physical strength" - with the best will in the world, the interviewer will end up selecting men at even a higher rate than they apply, because "masculinity" is part of the implicit set of characteristics attached to that label. The use of language in the want ad, rightly or wrongly, appeals to a certain type of candidate, and not only indicates but reinforces a preference for that type of candidate.

What would have been wrong with just saying "Must be able to lift 100 lbs", or "Must be comfortable with social media"? The term "tech-native" is an opaque neologism that doesn't mean anything other than the big ball of mixed-up stereotypes the HR person had in their head when they typed it, and a company that asks for "tech-natives" either doesn't know what they really want, or isn't willing to tell us straight out. Either way, we should be celebrating companies who don't use bs terms like that, which is exactly what OP is doing.

Nope - it just requires someone to link to you. Since there are informational sites that list new domains, that might happen automatically.
I would back one step further and ask if hygiene products get considered a necessity.
It's IRC with auto-linkification. Well deserved? Pro-capitalists are crazy.
ActiveX and OCX was a generalization of VBX using OLE, a document embedding standard built on top of object-oriented RPC (COM), but with simplified typing (Variant rather than the full gamut of RPC native types).

The concept of drag and drop components, and the PME (Property / Method / Event) programming paradigm is what made VB a success. VBX and OCX were implementation technologies and not really the secret sauce, except to the degree that they made the system extensible so it wouldn't be forever a toy with a fixed set of building blocks.
4 years ago when I told my non-techy friends about the risk of using Facebook, Google, allowing full access to photos/camera/location etc, I was a tin foil hat man. I don’t blame them.

Today those same people are the ones discussing and raising their concerns.

I think privacy will be the next big selling point of any platform and there is already one company that figured it out; Apple.
"Who is it for" can be answered through needs-based segmentation, i.e. exactly what you said. Who is it for? It's for people who need x,y,z. You still need to have a clear definition of that if you want to e.g. evaluate market size, or do any sort of marketing/sales afterwards.
I think it does. It's chromium with all the google domains blocked/stripped within.
What I learned from the study that will change how we eat
According to this thread, they largely solve the same problem:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20258432
or use duckduckgo's bangs
But Ravelry, why is "[s]upport of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy"? They haven't made that clear at all.
Its strange, for me. I remember getting super pumped about Chromium when it went live in '09. Then, somewhere along the line, I felt like a boiled frog.

Honestly, a big change for me was symbolically realized by The logo change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#/media/File:Chro...

It went from this space-age, nerdy little project to a cleaned up design that signified its shift to a position as a core Google product.
Jakarta is running out of time to stop itself sinking into the sea
There's some discord channels that host good stuff, with communities that like diving into harder problems 'behind closed doors' so to speak.
No I believe a company can use it up to 5 developpers. Which should cover the vast majority of start ups. Then you can buy a pro license for $500 which isn't that expensive if you have the financing for more than 5 devs.
"Do you find the dying practicality of desktop apps to be accurate, or overblown?"

I think the death of desktop apps to be a bit of an overblown claim. But it's true that developing a fast, native desktop app can often be more complicated that building an online CRUD-style app.

Some applications have enjoyed success by moving from the desktop to the cloud, although in cut-down limited form (think word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software). And yes, there are visual design tools too (e.g. Figma). But a lot can't be done in the "cloud" and cloud apps offer only a subset of what a desktop app can do. (Sometimes a subset is all you need.)

Perhaps the future is more hybrid apps: desktop apps with some cloud capabilities such as online backup/saving/sharing. I can't imagine heavyweight vector, bitmap, video, or animation tools being anything other than desktop apps for the foreseeable future.

And don't forget that some cloud services offer desktop clients for connecting to their online services. That suggests that there's appetite and plenty of life left for the desktop. How many developers would give up their desktop text editor or IDE for a cloud-based one?

And finally a personal preference: between the choice of an online app (that is more than just a simple CRUD app) and a native desktop app, I would pick the desktop app every single time.
I think this is true for most technical jobs. What makes us good is that we understand how to search, which leads us to the corners of the internet where other technically minded people seek help and answer questions.

I've seen friends and family search for errors or 'how do I...', and their searches mostly yield youtube videos and scraper sites. For me its mostly SE, reddit, and product specific forums.

Knowing how to ask the right questions and understanding jargon is often the greatest asset.
According to the announcement, they ban behavior. The “slightly less than half the country” can still use the site.
You mean one company that figured out marketing that before the rest. Apple is no saint.
I just finished watching the national geographic on Apollo. It's really well done. The drew on a lot of local news footage which gives you a unique insight into the era.
Another one in the sooner camp, I will be almost 50 when my boy is in highschool, not dead yet but I would have liked to have had them sooner, but my wife and I met in our 30's.
Walmart existed for 30 years before Amazon was founded. It was much bigger, better capitalized, sold far more than books and was responsible for putting entire malls out of business.

Amazon just executed better. Competition is good for consumers who have clearly stated they prefer the prices and availability of online shopping. Small neighborhood stores no longer served the market.
I haven't figured out where on the internet OCaml people live. Maybe they have better things to do with their lives than proselytizing. There is very clear bias in my opinions and information. Jane Street is a very prominent industrial user for which I can't really think of a Haskell equivalent of that company size.
ReasonML is a nicer syntax. Kind of seemed like if you wanna do ReasonML you need to know both OCaml and ReasonML though on a cursory glance.
Slack is still inferior to IRC overall. Don't know what you're talking about.
Uh no. The rigid case helps keep the logic board from failing. The unibody and later ones only fail in other places (screen connector, keyboard) and was a great step in reliability over the plastic MacBooks. I had a rubber-like matte black one. Btw the 17" so-called-unibody model wasn't a single metal piece and failed more than all the others.
I agree, they didn’t. You may have to use other sources for that.
Google exists because the web was built without backlinks, according to Jaron Lanier
I'm still in the (long) process of de-Googling my life.

Does anyone know of a list of addresses that I can plop I to my hosts file to block Big G's tracking on non-Google sites? Something that is updated regularly?
There is a contact manager and calendar in Chrome? When did Chrome become a PIM?
18% of the USA voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, which is slightly less than 1% of the international population. I have no stats about the popularity of the Trump administration in the knitting community. But I suspect it is a somewhat fringe view.
I have lived my life entirely outside of the .NET and Windows ecosystem, not really eager to go into it. Godspeed F# though!
Still not as good as Microsoft's "Courier" concept from a decade ago:

Excellent call. Fully support.
Fair point. I mean, they where mentioned in the Snowden leaks but they also dismissed it as being false.

I want that to be true and have decided to use them for now till something proves me otherwise.

edit: lazy was the wrong wording. I spent way more time that I should have, figuring out how to feel secure with my setup.

With lazy, I meant that I don’t have the time nor the motivation to set up my own cloud/mail/backup etc right now.
Haskell takes serious effort to get used to and begin writing idiomatically. This should go without saying for most programming languages but it goes double for Haskell, because it's so different.

One of the things I've come to appreciate about idiomatic Haskell is the library pattern (for lack of a better term). A properly designed Haskell project should be a library, not a monolithic program, and the problem you're trying to solve becomes a one-liner after importing your new library. A great example of this is Xmonad, which works exactly in that way.
The politicians and bureaucracy complete lack of action is astounding. I believe Bangalore will soon face similar situation.

Politician's themselves profiting of sand mining from rivers, not taking any action to prevent pollution of lakes even though some of them have caught fire(the infamous Bellandur lake), allowing encroachment of water ways etc. Any one of this should have caused people to vote out those in power or raise voice against the bureaucracy. But no, it will not happen - why? My guess is people will continue to vote on religious and cast lines. People will be divided based on any difference they can find between them and will never fight together for what matters. Absolute horrible of a shit show it is....
Apparently it’s one of those self-evident assertions that need no explanation.
Having traveled the country by land for years and discussed this topic frequently, intentionally, and occasionally awkwardly with at least a thousand people, I think that you are not even in the ballpark of correct when you surmise that "slightly less than half the country" supports this administration (or any in my lifetime, with the exception of the brief period following September 11, 2001).

The man received about 62,984,828 votes in 2016 out of 330 million people. As an empirical matter, this perhaps demonstrates that a little more than 18% supported him at that time - much more than "slightly" less than half.

There is every reason to believe that, since that time, his support has further waned.

I'm not giving an opinion one way or another on the wisdom of precluding particular content. But I think that it is wildly out of step with reality to suggest that "slightly less than half the country" support the government at all, much less this particularly unpopular and ineffectual leader.
It's strange in the title of this article because there is not really an "us" that makes sense for a phrasing like "let us". "Let's trim our hair" sort of implies a small informal social grouping, likely physically present, deciding to get haircuts, or maybe even cut it at home together. Not on the scale of an entire nation.
They don't have to. Anymore than Reddit owes users an explanation for banning /r/coontown.
Good points. Clearly there are gray areas. But sometimes it would be possible to prove lying. Just like it is possible to prove some marketing is fraudulent.
Re-branding is the best option, if you can afford the cost and work. If not, try introducing a new logo, that might call out the name (or part of it) and start branding that. Then, you can use that logo in sponsorships. Good luck!
Grabbing the kernel and login screen off of an SSD, then mapping the rest of what you need into virtual memory, is something that's easily accomplished in 100ms. If you design for 3-5 seconds of password typing that's enough time to grab gigabytes in the background.

The complex memory system isn't the culprit here. It's one of the easiest parts to set up.
I wonder when they’ll start encouraging executing political rivals, gypsies, and Jews. This is what Nazism looks like. And before you say it, yes, Nazism started with political and religiously targeted boycotts that shredded the concept of freedom of speech and expression.
It's a brave question to ask yourself. Overall no I definitely do not, but sometimes I fleetingly think "WTF I am not dad material, I am not a 'dad' person". And sometimes they drive me nuts.

You can do a lot more than you think. You have to differentiate between "is the kids" or "is it my partner". You might have to focus on one main thing to do outside of kids/family. For example a single person might travel, get ripped at the gym and start a startup. Whereas the family person might choose one of the above.

Travel gets expensive with a family, so maybe then you need to work for FAANG to afford it, so there goes the startup.
Bro pages are a joke compared to the conciseness of man pages under OpenBSD.
That's exactly what I mean.

A particular build of Tensorflow X requires version A of the CUDA library, version B of the CDNN library, etc.

It is a common situation if you work on a data science team or want to play with models you find on Github that some of them require X1, A1, B1 and some others require X2, A2, B2.

The CUDA and cuDNN libraries are ordinary userspace libraries so if you package them for anaconda you can install them into a virtualenv and have different versions of the libraries sitting side by side and never get an error because the library versions don't match -- and I've done that on both Windows and Linux.

Anaconda can't ship conda packages like the ones I describe because NVIDIA insists that you download the libraries from their website, register to get senseless spam, screw around with installers, etc.
Show HN: Monopoly Monte Carlo Using Haskell
I did my Senior Project for my B.A. in math in APL back in 1978 because it was the only language I had available to me on a functioning machine. I loved it, because it was infinitely more concise than writing in System 360 assembly, which was the only other language I had taught myself! I particularly enjoyed writing entire programs for class in one line, which was frequently doable in APL. The problem was that that capability encouraged you to write "write-only code". It was very easy to write, but... :) Never used APL again, and now care a lot about readability, but I certainly look back at that time fondly!
I don't know if my wife and I could have managed everything if we had a kid sooner, since she was still in school and I was working really hard. But I can't help but notice that my ability to tolerate poor sleep and other issues having a baby creates are probably worse now than they would have been if I'd become a father even four or five years ago.

That all being said, absolutely no regrets, I love this kid more than anything in the world.
Bottled water has always had a dubious record when it comes to contamination but arsenic safety regulations have been muddied by unrelated politics.

The EPA sets the ideal level at zero (no safe level) with a max of 10ppb but it is also an essential micronutrient in mammalian biology. It is similar in profile to selenium -- highly toxic in all but microscopic doses but necessary to live. For arsenic, much of this comes naturally in water or via eating animals that drink water. Current mammalian models suggest that humans require something like 20-50ug of arsenic, equivalent to drinking a few liters of water at the current max allowed level. Nothing too controversial here, but it should cause one to raise an eyebrow when a government agency asserts that an essential micronutrient is toxic at doses low enough to cause deficiency.

Current reductions in allowed levels are part of a proxy war on mining. Geology that naturally has background arsenic levels far above this limit is also correlated with minerals worth mining. Even if the mining is done cleanly and releases no additional arsenic into the environment, you are still responsible for remediating the area to the safety standard and not the natural background level. It ends up being a de facto ban on new mining in some regions, which is the intent. Decades ago this strategy was applied to natural contaminants that are unconditionally bad for human biology, which made it easy to set extremely low safety limits. In recent years, it has been expanded to natural contaminants where the mandated levels have a sketchier basis in science.

Which isn't to say that bottled water contamination is not a problem, just that I am skeptical that the arsenic levels being discussed here are anywhere close to harmful. They are collateral damage in an unrelated political battle.
I only regret lacking a good social network with my extended family. If my wife and I want to travel to a kid unfriendly location (a la Vegas), my local mother in-law is resentful if we ask her, my parents need to be flown in to watch the kids, and my father in-law is only seen on holidays.

As for faded looks, mine have faded much faster than my wife’s, and I’m secretly thrilled when I catch a wrinkle or gray hair on her. Success is when we both look like wrinkled old prunes and are still happy together.
It's a pity that robots.txt doesn't let you specify what the crawler can do with the resources it's allowed to fetch.
I think that if we had such a feature (or something similar, like a "License" header) standardized early enough , a few issues regarding crawling and search engines would be moot, or at least easier to solve automatically.
Meta-Meta: I'm not really fond of the trend of not displaying an image unless you execute arbitrary code. Imgur requires it.

As for zcash, well, it was always terrible because of the way it started with a double digits effective pre-mine in all but name and security based entirely on the word of what a handful of guys did in secret.

That same centralization strikes again here.
Wow. This kind of lessons from the past, unrevealed by a person from today, is really instructive. We have Personal Computers since decades. Many problems have been already solved and are solved again worse then they used to be. That's what "old people" complain as "culture being lost", but it's really up to us, the old ones, to explain the culture of the past. (Lisa was before my time anyway. I will tell tales about Win95 when it is about time ;-). )
"Implementation-defined" creates a requirement on implementors to document a definition on physical paper.

An implementer, though, may write down, "The behavior of this construct is undefined", and they have discharged that responsibility.

Undefined really does mean not defined -- but, not defined in the Standard. Anybody is free to define anything the Standard doesn't, and a program may rely on that. #include <unistd.h> is UB, but your compiler uses the definition provided by the (rather, a) separate Posix Standard.

Implementations do take advantage of explicit UB for optimization opportunities, but that is not its purpose.
They cite the RPGnet forums as an inspiration for this, their thread has a Policy Citations section:

I am happy to take that claim as read; the US government is a white supremacist institution and has been from its inception. The naked commitment to the ongoing atrocities in prisons, at the border, and in migrant detention camps around the country is evidence that the direction of the institution has not become more enlightened or tolerant under this administration, and seems to have gotten worse.
There are lots of stories and 'silicon valley truisms' that we are told are the right way to do things. However, if what you're doing is working for you, keep doing it.

We're seeing all sorts of un-conventional wisdom becoming conventional. Remote workforces. Paying market. Direct offerings. It was all wrong, before it was right.

If you need motivation, google duckduckgo's history. Good luck!

I've heard tales of cell towers having more or less automatic interference detection and the owners have a big incentive to let the FCC know. For other things, it's so rarely enforced or "self-policed" (like ham bands) that it's super rare for people to get busted, even with triangulization being what it is. Some kid here in NYC was trolling on the NYPD frequencies (analog FM still) and it took quite a while to track him down.

Just as an FYI - that looks like only a 2 stage filter. Activated carbon and a membrane. I have only researched multi-stage countertop models in the past, but a quick 2 mins on amazon reveals for another ~$100 you can get a much more comprehensive under-sink filtration system.

During my search it appeared there are WQA and NSF certifications on a few of them. I know nothing about those certifications, but someone purchasing a water filter might wish to look into them.
