shouldn’t the two separate, instead of letting CCP grip harder to Hong Kong?
Excellent story. It would be beautiful in a way to 3d print the top cover!
In the short term, it is better to outsource and have someone that knows what they are doing build your security plan. They will probably suggest ongoing consulting as well, but for cost savings it would be better to have period (quarterly or 2x/year) reviews after you have things rolling. Long term, it would be better to build this out internally, but outsourcing could significantly jump start any improvements you'll see.
I wouldn't think it's the only statistic that needs to be looked at.

If it does any "speaking for itself" then it's raising its own question: "Why is that number declining over the past few decades?" That requires additional data to answer.

This is amazing - I'd love to learn, some time in the near future, that you've gotten the system up and running and are doing something interesting with it.

I am the curator of a small collection of retro computers here in Vienna [1], and have managed to get a few systems up and running again - nothing as cool as an Altair, but you've now gotten me motivated to have another look at it as a platform. There's a clone kit out there [2], but I'm not sure its available .. but for sure its something I'm going to check out in an emulator.

Got a place we might be able to follow you for future updates about your restoration project?

Certificate Flooding, SKS and GnuPG Issues, and the Sequoia Project
Even in very simple CRUD projects I have to write a few hundred lines of Javascript to enhance the UI. Stuff like: if you check this box 4 more options appear. Or here is an autocomplete field/dropdown that autofills in 4 other form fields. A lot of basic stuff that cannot be done with raw HTML alone. I can see how something like LiveView would replace the need for mucking around with jQuery when your project doesn't need a big and heavy SPA framework.
What helps here is to then actually listen to answer and try to learn from it. As in, it becomes less condescending when the answer is listened to and actively acted and reacted upon in follow up conversation.
Could a UI input fuzzer have caught this?
At that point it's less a task in the context of image processing and more one of graph learning / language processing, depending on how you want to formulate it.

I know this isn’t the most informative post, but a lot of the IT guys in our operations unit do a lot of DIY “home-improvement” projects. It’s stuff like controlling lights, automated blinds, monitoring their indoor plants,3D printing tools for their expensive bikes.

It’s all self-made and most of it is self programmed and hosted on whatever hack solutions they use, and they mainly use YouTube videos for DIY electronics to make it happen.

Like I said, not that informative for a HN reply, but I would start there.
There are considerable numbers of people who cannot afford £20 for a visit. So, for those people we'd need to implement a bureaucracy to give them free healthcare, and the cost of that would eliminate any potential benefits it would have.

There's no evidence it would work. There's some evidence it wouldn't work.

Don't forget this study was done in in-patient settings: those patients were actually ill and needed treatment.

I think it's the same reasons behind the infamous "Show HN" Dropbox post - technical people have a tendency to be too focused on pointing out technical flaws and miss the bigger picture.

Or it's psychological and many feel better believing that is a scam because they missed the run up despite likely being knowledgeable about bitcoin years ago and decided to ignore it.
>But even this article doesn't get the problem. It's not "there are too many parens" but more that everything in LISP looks the same when you're new, it's a jumble of parens. Your brain isn't getting distinct markers to help learn the structures.

On a typical language you have "structures" you mention, like "if", "for", "switch". Lisp also has them, but they look more like function calls. The syntax has a lot of less noise.

Automatic indentation helps you visualize such "structures" in an easier way. It's not any more difficult than using a language like Python or C.

>And LISP, shares a problem with most dynamic languages that anything can kind of go anywhere.

Not really, because Common Lisp -the major Lisp dialect- is a strongly typed language, unlike the most popular dynamic languages: Javascript, PHP and Python and Ruby (Python & Ruby being 'duck typed' for the most part). And unlike the famous weakly-typed statically-typed language: C.

So no, "anything" can't go anywhere, because a type mismatch will cause a runtime error. And in CL you can correct runtime errors by modifying the source code and resuming program execution (without having to restart the complete program), so no big deal either.

The most common data construct, the Lisp list, accepts any kind of data type inside, but Lisp also has structs, objects and arrays, all of which can be defined for specific data types. Note that the ANSI Common Lisp standard includes extensive support for type declarations.

Not to mention that Lisp, unlike other languages (Java, C++ -- i'm looking at you guys) don't erase types at runtime. Lisp works with values (not variables) , and values are typed. Any value, in Lisp, carries its type information at runtime.
>Stop feeling guilty for setting aside time to learn skills during regular working hours. It took me a while to adjust, but it's utterly logical and correct that technical people should explore technologies as part of their work.

Part of this is internally redefining what a "good" job means to you. I think a lot of people (me included) make, or have made, the mistake of equating workload to purpose, or that always being super busy at work is a sign that you have a purpose and are valued.

Sometimes you have to change your view of work to find a job where the workload allows you to have a few hours every week to learn something new. As tdubhro point's out, having the right manager is important as well.

So the solution BTC solved was to make some people rich. Is that it?

Funny story: I'm a non-believer. However sometime this year I bought bitcoin to buy some stuff. By the time I got home its value decreased too much and I no longer had enough bitcoin to buy what I wanted. Now I've found out that my bitcoin is worth a considerable amount. Did I cash out? Of course!

Do I feel "smart" about this investment? Of course not. It's just a gamble and pretty much this is the story of bitcoin. Would I "invest" again? Not really. I don't need this kind of investment for the same reasons I don't do gambling in my spare time. I think gambling is a weakness.

A budding mechanic asks: "Should I work on Toyotas or Fords?"

The answer matters little to the novice. You say that you "love thinking about building startups and the web projects." Have you ever built either?

Become an engineer. Learn to design solutions to problems and implement them (on the web or otherwise). As you study, pay close attention to the patterns that begin to emerge. Think about abstractions of those patterns and potential methods of composing them. Technologies, platforms, frameworks, etc. tend to come and go on inconveniently short timelines these days, but the concepts from which they sprung usually endure to see multiple implementations.
I'm an introvert and doing just fine, thank you very much. The fact you assume one needs to get out of his or her comfort zone or they will "get taken advantage off" and have "worse career progression" is too broad of a brushstroke.
There's the additional issue that blockchains are almost always the wrong tool for the job. It turns out that immutability is not really a desirable property in a system where humans are involved, because humans always introduce mistakes that need to eventually be undoable.

"pretty high likelihood of individual contributors being promoted to management"

1. Everybody's complaining about how they don't want to be promoted to management after a certain age and remain an IC.

2. Very few people, proportionally, are actually promoted to management.

3. Management vs worker is alive and well in all domains, this can be seen as the years pass in the attitudes of those promoted to management. It's the nature of the job, not the education.

Computers are really just finite state machines with really fancy input and output. We like to pretend they are Turing machines, but that breaks down when you run out of RAM: a Turing machine has infinite memory, a computer has a large finite amount of memory.

I suppose computers really are fancy clockwork. So are humans.
>What can you do in a few lines of Lisp that can't be done similarly in Python or Javascript?

To pick just an example: Anybody can create a Brainfuck (programming language) interpreter in a few lines of Python or Js code.

With Common Lisp you could create a Brainfuck compiler (that compiles down to native code and thus has native code speed) in the same amount of lines of code. Or maybe shorter.

A different example: The circle-ellipse problem. It is solved easily in Common Lisp (few lines of code), because the CLOS OOP system is more powerful than the OOP systems in Java, C++, Python, Javascript and many other languages.
In the early days of the iOS App Store I worked on a music iPad app. Through many hours of user testing and researching prior art, the best solution we came up with was detecting the trajectory of the user input and supporting both vertical dragging and dial-like rotation. It took a shitload of trial and error fine tuning, but it eventually turned out pretty well.

I think many music apps these days give you the option buried somewhere in settings.

> Health care workers need to begin to think of coming to work impaired by chronic sleep deprivation as similar to coming to work impaired by alcohol. Studies reveal that as ethanol and sleep loss increase, psychomotor performance decreases and memory is impaired. A 2-hour sleep loss is equivalent to a 0.045% breath-alcohol concentration, and a 4-hour sleep loss is equivalent to a 0.095% breath-alcohol concentration — above Texas' legal limit of 0.08%.

> In the traditional-schedule group, interns were on call every third night, working 24 hours or more. In the intervention group, interns worked no extended shifts (>17 hours) and averaged 65 work hours each week. Besides having about 6 hours less sleep each week and twice the number of attentional failures (EEG evidence of severe drowsiness), the traditional-schedule group made 36% more serious medical errors than the intervention group.
> This sentiment is grossly nauseating, to me. Having children is not an achievement.

The GP didn't say “having children”, so even to the extent one agrees with this claim it's a non-sequitur.

> If your greatest contribution to the world is birthing a child, you have failed as a person.

Perhaps. Certainly, if that's your greatest contribution to your child, you've done very little as a parent. But when people say that someone's greatest achievement is their children, they probably don't mean giving just giving birth to (or fathering) them.

GLOBAL WARMING ANYONE?

CATACLYSMIC FEAR BASED SCIENCE FUNDING ANYONE?

CONTROL BASED, RATIONAL FOR GOVERNMENT TAXING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AT THE CONSUMER LEVEL ANYONE?

wonder why this stuff is trending?

if you ask me, the problem with most simpleton's is they cannot dissect how legitimate policy directionality SHOULD inform the process of funding science and engineering, and instead they confuse these ideals with trendy apocalytic predictionism that funds, or at least, OVERFUNDS, some completely lunatic ideas like salting the atmosphere with nitros oxides, burning fuel to store c02 underground or to hoover it up from smokestacks,

rather than finding ways of preventing the useage or mitigating the useage of c02 altogether. it's so amazingly obvious to a critical thinker that it makes me want to slap my head, when after 20 years of stupidity, this last week you see prominent articles promoting the only sane appraoch to effectively sinking carbon PLANT MORE TREES.

the reset of the world has known this forever and so did americans before the global warming trendsetting apoloytpic religionists took their cult of fear mainstream.

no . SCIENCE IS NOT BUILT ON CONSENSUS. and no, FEAR BASES TRENDING CONSENSUS is NOT 'SCIENTIFIC' it is the opposite. it is a religion predicting the future timing of our doom.

the end is NEIGH is trendy for only so long.....until we suffer the consequences of exhaustion. what happens then? a huge backlash against common sense conservative environmentalism by a bunch of idiots, because of decades of algorism throwing them all in the other direction. that will be the real catastrophe. and it will be the fault of the global warming alarmists pushing horrible ideas, horrible policies, and horrible amounts of unending fear based messaging.

"professional athletes don't get promoted to management at all"

Neither do most employees either, what does that have to do with anything? We can't organize because there's a 5% chance that we're promoted to management?
I don't think those networks can work with variable inputs, they use fixed size images, svg describes paths that highly vary.
I think the point is these are separate issues. Compensation is going up - employers are paying more for employee benefits.

The problem is on the medical services side. We're get the same or slightly better medical services for 200-300% the cost.
> Meanwhile, young people are burning themselves out at unprecedented rates.

Indeed. And they aren't making enough money to buy a home. Then, people, mostly boomers, will wonder, "Oh, gee. When I was their age, I could afford college, land a high-paying job right after school and buy my first house before I was 25. How are they not doing the same?"
I don't know, on the one hand I agree that S.P.O.F. in the technical sense doesn't translate to the HR sense such that there will always be someone who can come in and learn everything needed to handle the job.

On the other hand its like a mediocre army doing a great job because of a great general. That general leaves/dies and the army falls apart or is reduced to a fraction of its former self.

Especially at smaller orgs with constrained resources, they may replace their technical lead but if the replacement flounders, and the replacement's replacement flounders, the whole org becomes FUBAR. In this sense that original technical lead becomes ipso-facto irreplaceable (IMO).
I really like this:

> However, silence was a big part of traditional music, in the past.

A glass is useful because of its empty space. You need the emptiness to fill it up with something. For inventions/ideas/startups, you need some empty space in your mind.

Think of a bored computer (one that is not used to its maximum capacity). It's like a computer that uses swap memory v.s. one that has a few GBs of free RAM. Which one would you rather use?

I say, it is good to be bored and stay bored -- don't rush to fill up the empty space.

Out of curiosity, why isn't Free Pascal high level enough?

Also FWIW my LIL scripting language, is sort of Tcl-like and has a Free Pascal implementation (and also a C one) with a (optional) Lazarus drag-drop component: http://runtimeterror.com/tech/lil/

I also have a Lazarus component for FPLIL for exposing a Tk-ish (well, not exactly, but on a similar spirit) API: https://i.imgur.com/G8hto0N.gif

Though that last one isn't available anywhere... perhaps i should upload it at the LIL site above. It is just that it hadn't had much testing (i mainly wrote it for my 3D world editor so that scripts can expose simple UIs on the sidebar or in dialog boxes but haven't used it much elsewhere).

EDIT: i decided to take a few minutes and upload the LILGUI stuff to the site above.

I see. Note that normal file attributes != extended attributes. Which one are you referring to?

(For symlinks/reparse points, you'd probably have to provide an option on how to replicate them, since there isn't one clear solution. But it's not impossible to do something sane either. Link Shell Extension may have inspiration on various methods you could use.)
Well, someday when people get old they’ll appreciate having young people to take care of them. Young people who’s value generation pays for their healthcare in retirement. We won’t solve every problem — of our own creation or otherwise — in one generation. Raising thoughtful, compassionate children takes hard work. A lot of people focus on the negatives of children — more population, crying on flights. They don’t consider that those kids will literally be in the pilots seat in 20 years.
Staff are the biggest cost of any health service.

Nurses start at band 5 of the agenda for change pay scale, or band 6 if they're specialist, so it's not much but even this is unattainable for most NHS trusts. https://www.nhsemployers.org/pay-pensions-and-reward/agenda-...

When we ask nurses which shift pattern (8 hours, 12 hours, or 14 hours) is safest they tend to say 8 hours. But when we ask them which provides best work-life balance they tend to say 14 hours. This is apparently a really difficult problem for the workforce to tackle.
Though it may not be an "achievement" (something above average), I would not go as far as to say "you have failed as a person".

Here is another perspective: Having children and providing for them is actually a huge contribution to the society. At the end of the day, we want to keep our knowledge (understanding of the universe, etc) afloat. And the only way to do that is by having children and educating them about it.
But it’s not company owned housing (the premiums they pay to the insurance company is cash out; they don’t get any part of it back as they would if the insurance company were company owned).

And compensation doesn’t have to be “no strings attached” to count as compensation, especially if it is something you were going to buy anyway. With limited exceptions (e.g. live-in nannies), employer-paid housing is taxable as compensation.
