What are you talking about? I don't think this was ever even an announced feature. It's redundant with another type of backup which is the one they've been publicly promoting for a long time. (Restore points.) They finally got around to eliminating the unnecessary one. I don't remember there ever being a UI around this or a publicized best practice about using it.

I don't think it qualifies as "telling the user" if it involves the user poking around undocumented system tasks.
Exactly!!!

I keep harping on that. Consider a 10 year old Toyota Camry. Soon as it was built we were committed to another 60 tons of CO2 emissions. Raising the gas tax doesn't undo that decision. And people don't junk cars because the price of gas. They junk cars because of maintenance and repair costs.

Raising gas taxes is totally weak sauce and invites political blow back. Better to just pay people to take marginal cars off the road. And discourage people from buying new ICE powered cars. Especially low MPG ICE cars.
From what I understand, they largely romanticize the times when Hong Kong was a British colony.
However, it seems clear that what the protesters are asking for is ideologically more in-line with a British/Western conception of a democratic society. And because Hong Kong will never be independent and the CCP never democratic, raising the British HK flag is the last thing they can hold on to.

I see it as a testament to their desperation.
That is good to hear. As an American, I’m not sure how independently the editorial choices are made at the BBC.
Hell, registry tweaking can be so dangerous that Windows keeps a copy of important keys for the last known good boot. That’s what “safe mode” is: it uses that key instead of the current one.
Tripling the surface area doesn't help?

The article here claims that IRC is better than Matrix because Matrix supports pasting long snippets and IRC doesn't. The author furthermore claims that Matrix users are being a "nuisance" by posting long snippets to IRC with a link fallback, like this:

ihabunek [m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/blahblahblah >
ihabunek [m] uploaded an image: image.png (39KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/blahblahblah >

This is "being a nuisance"? It's just two chat lines, and the first line isn't meaningfully longer than a link to pastebin. Maybe pasting the image was a bit excessive, but it's very likely to be auto-expanded in GUI IRC clients, making it an excellent fallback. It's not "being a nuisance." It's two links. It's fine.

The truth is, IRC folks do need to share long snippets and images, and they do it by linking to them; that's exactly what Matrix does when integrating with IRC. That's one among many reasons that Matrix is better than IRC.

The interesting part is the recursive application of the algorithm. I'm wondering why it isn't applied fully recursively but only up to one step. Surely, if the algorithm can generate a uniform probability distribution, it can also generate an arbitrary probability distribution, so why not use that arbitrary probability distribution in order to generate the uniform probability distribution?

The relatively small overpriced housing in the west coast would be considered horrible for someone living in other places in the US. I couldn't imagine paying twice as much for less than a third of the space.
Also, lawyers (ie me) are free to speak as private citizens. I could go on at length about the legal distinctiveness of content and non-content interception, but whether it does matter is different than whether it should. I don't see metadata as fundamentally different in practice than content. Scotus may say otherwise, but I am under no obligation to agree with them.
W.r.t. dynamic scope, I agree that there are some nice use-cases for it. Racket has good support for dynamic scope (it calls dynamically scoped variables "parameters"), and I've found them to be useful, e.g. for handling environment variables of sub-processes.

How about the Culture option - AI is as far beyond us as we are beyond our pets, and takes care of us accordingly. But just like you don't stick your dog in a box and feed it morphine continuously, AI doesn't turn us into "infantile, unthinking, pleasure seeking dweebs" either.
And then think of the fact that people are going to pay money to have software interfacing directly with their brains/neurons.

This is not solved by the relational model?

I have think about this for my toy relational lang, I consider too the best is allow:

fun print(people:People[id, name])...

to work with any relation/class/struct that at least have that 2 fields. Also, in the relational model the name of the relation and the header is significant.

Plus, re-combining of types is inbuilt. Need to extent person?

There were rumors he wanted to bring his gun to the capitol, which is apparently legal. No, I don't think he would have actually done anything, but it's too bad he couldn't have been dealt with in a fair and calm way in order to ensure her concerns had been assuaged.

It was kind of a maddening sideshow: in normal times, he would have been reprimanded in some way, and she would have been made to feel safe, but they were in a crazy rush to finish.
I think it's always been like that in any game with predesigned layouts and enemy placement. I was still a kid (in the 1980s) when I figured out I was playing a fundamentally different game from the kids who really loved video games. I was thinking, "I need to get faster at making decisions and timing my actions so I can respond to what's on the next screen," and they were thinking, "Okay, the next screen has two goblins closing from the upper right corner and one goblin closing from the middle and a fireball from top to bottom after four seconds, and the exit door starts closed and opens or closes every three seconds, so I'll kill the closest goblin while I wait for the fireball and then hit the exit the third time it opens...."

I remember feeling guilty when I remembered what was on the next screen, because it felt like cheating. It kind of broke my heart when I realized that was the best way to get good and it was pointlessly stubborn for me to resist a technique that games were designed to cater to.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of this. It sounds like she left, citing their "toxic environment" as a reason for leaving, and is surprised that wasn't well received.

Assuming it was a toxic environment, (which would not surprise me, there are plenty of them, especially in startup-land), this seems expected. If they were good at self-reflection they wouldn't be toxic.

Am I missing a takeaway here?
Employees leave companies for numerous reasons all the time in all industries. Better pay, better quality of life, better opportunities, lower stress, novelty, innovation - there are many reasons. I think Tesla just has a microscope over it at all times which makes it seem worse than other companies.

Most time estimates aren't necessary in the first place and it's aggravating that we need so many of them. Yes it's mostly a stick to beat devs with.

But since folks reading this will probably need to make estimates anyway, this tends to be accurate: Estimate it'll take as long as the most recent similar thing you've done (real time, not heads down time). Resist the urge to trim out parts of the previous task that aren't related (you'll have new yak shaving) or related to mistakes you've learned not to make (you'll make new ones). If it's really different from anything previous, look for a time you had to learn something and implement a new system based on what you learned (you're allowed to be meta).
I think the original poster is applying the "cheap talk" heuristic. People may say they value things, but we see what's really valued by what they pay for (given the resources they have)...
Exactly, there is no good reason why Slack doesn't at least provide the option to end to end encrypt conversations.

I hope that stories like this continue so that e2e encryption is supported by any messaging platform that wants to be taken seriously.

My guess: Ease of installation and for stability reasons. Bolting the seats to the outer frame probably requires much more consideration than simply bolting them to the floor.

I know and I care but short of looking at myself and my family and implementing better life style practices that we may or not be able to afford what do I do?

I vote and I know the biggest impact has to come from world governments but even voting seems like a small, hollow step that does nothing in the short run to help the situation.

Something I hope to see a lot less of is parking lots.

Eliminate street-level parking in cities, and density could double (in US cities smaller than, say, Chicago). Average distances could be cut in half, making public transport or even biking or walking possible for far more trips than today.

"We only need cars because others have cars" isn't entirely true, or there would have never been cars in the first place. But it's not entirely untrue, either.
Repl.it (YC W18) | Infrastructure Engineer | ONSITE | SF | https://repl.it/jobs

Repl.it is the first open computing platform where anyone, even without even needing an account, can hop on and in seconds start executing code, build and host applications and websites, and collaborate with other people.

Providing a service like this is challenging from all a scaling, security, and billing perspectives. Additionally, supporting the number of languages that we do (https://repl.it/languages) is hard from both a hard systems tooling problem -- we have to build generic protocols for executing, debugging, authoring code, running tests, handling files, etc.

It's a great time to be joining us, we're still 8 full-time people, we reach more than a million coders a month, and we're backed by YC and a16z.
Any time protesters start throwing “unidentified liquids” my mind makes some gross assumptions. Maybe I’ve spent too long in SF.

I just booted up my Surface Book for the first time in months. It attempted to download and install Windows 10 update 1903. The update failed with a large dialog telling me my system isn't ready to install update 1903.

I'm going to sound like the naive end user now, but isn't it the job of the update manager to only download and install updates that are ready to be installed?

It did eventually install 1903 after about 2 restarts. But failed updates are always scary to an end user.
Kessel Run (USAF) | Boston & Remote | https://kesselrun.af.mil/

We are looking for best in class Data Engineers, Data scientists and a Deputy CDO for the United States Air Force's premiere internal software factory. These positions are government civilian positions (GS) primarily working out of the 1 Beacon office in downtown Boston, but we are open to remote developers.

You will oversee and implement industry leading Data Engineering, Machine Learning and Automation practices to a wide range of applications and API/RPCs for services built for the US Air Force. This is not a normal government contracting program. We are Air Force members (Civilian and Military with contract support) and we build Green-Field software for Air Force users.

The discussion so far is about work/life balance, productivity, etc. And those are very important and should be discussed.

However, I think the climate change impact is underappreciated. An example with some numbers I picked to keep the math simple:

Assume a 40 mile round trip daily commute. And also a 40mpg car. Here's the effective mpg of that car with days per week WFH (when WFH, the car trip that didn't happen can be considered virtual miles traveled with no gas used):

0 days WFH for the week: 40mpg

1 days WFH for the week: 200 miles / 4 gallons = 50mpg

2 days WFH for the week: 200 miles / 3 gallons = 66mpg

3 days WFH for the week: 200 miles / 2 gallons = 100mpg

4 days WFH for the week: 200 miles / 1 gallons = 200mpg

The debate is too much about extremes (full remote vs full in office). A partial solution of just letting everyone have 2-3 days of WFH could allow employees, employers, and society to get a lot of the benefits of both remote and in office.
Anyone who's interested in Mead and Bateson's relationship should check out the novel Euphoria by Lily King - it's narrated by a lightly fictionalized version of Bateson and is about how he and Mead fell in love, in New Guinea in the 30s. Great book and really captures their personalities. Both were truly exceptional people who deserve to be better known than they already are.
There are decimeters. Not super commonly used, but due to the decimal nature of the system nobody has much difficulty understanding them.
Vancouver has a pretty great dynamic of lots of high rises on top of stores. Means there's tons of housing downtown and it's incredibly walkable.
These kids fucked themselves so hard. Entering LegCo will enable the government to identify (and punish) the most radical elements under HK riot law. Covering their faces won't stop the government from identifying every mobile device that entered the building via cell tower, GPS and wifi router records. Throwing bricks in the public and blending in with the crowd on the street is one thing, entering an easily geofenced government building with identifiable mobile devices is another.
There is a solid interest in elektric cars. Even the old i3 is difficult to get by. I have quite some colleagues, who drive 3 series BMWs as company cars, who would like a BMW electric car. Of course they are eyeing the Model 3 instead now.
No.

Even bad estimates are better than no estimates. If you are having meltdowns your reputation is being tied too closely to your ability to give estimates.

You must never turn estimates into a promise, always remind people they are estimates.

Want to give fast estimates? Here’s how:

1) first determine the scale of the task? Is it a year, month, week or day kind of task?

2) Then, it’s just 3 of those units. The smallest task takes 3 days. One day to completely fuck up, one day to figure out why, one day to get right. The longest takes 3 years. One year to fuck it all up, one year to learn why, one year to finish it.

I suggest never giving estimates in units smaller than a day. They just become noise. If a task is smaller than dayscale just say the task is too small to provide any meaningful estimate but won’t take more than a day.
It definitely feels excessively risky for a third party to port it, but Google can either canary it or run both parsers in production and compare results to accurately assess confidence in the port's correctness.
Those attacks can be mitigated. They're not fatal to hyperthreading. HT is a great way to improve performance and is not going away.
The reddest areas are CA, NY, Boston and the places people who have made a bunch of money in those places buy vacation homes and/or cash out and retire to. It's literally just a problem in a few places but the people of those places are exporting their housing cost problems as they move out (i.e by using their wall street money to out-compete the locals for a scenic square of swamp).

If you just took a bunch of Wall Street bankers, a bunch of CA VCs and then mapped their cell phone location data over the next several days (July 4 weekend) you'd get basically the same map.
That's pretty cool - well done!
So some data is now in(Obviously with the old firmware, not the one mentioned in the article):

Without fan, idle: 58°C peak

With fan idle: 39°C (roughly 26°C ambient temperature)

With fan 4x parallism of `yes > /dev/null`: 51°C peak

The fan is a really small one, just for the CPU. And I didn't quite place in the center of the chip :/
Quite surprised of how much I overestimated idle temperature. 58°C feels really hot when you touch the SoC.
I don't deny that I usually selectively comment on things that hit a nerve - often that is when lies being told about things I know a lot about. Interpreting that as an ideological battle is a little far fetched, no? Many many users here comment exclusively on their agenda, and with much harsher words than mine. I have never seen any action taken against these.

I don't even see a political angle here - genuinely so. If it were about other topics that go more in line with the HN community, this article would have been called a conspiracy theory. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20325213 from today - same dubious quality of content, also being called out.

If you say that my ideology is 'clear', I'm wondering what it is? I'm a huge proponent of free speech and not a fan of lies. That's mostly what I post and vote about. And I belief that is in the spirit of this site.
