Please see notahacker’s comment below for some much needed clarity in this thread. Gaddafi had become a laughingstock on the continent well before Arab Spring. His grand vision was an Africa with him as king. There was zero chance that he would have been able to build a coalition around his currency.
It makes perfect sense Agile works a lot better for Government projects. Also probably for agencies too.

I'm not 100% on SaaS. Need something more fine-tuned. Call it SaaSGile.
Transaction cost and speed are enormous problems for bitcoin, not sure why that would only be mildly appealing to solve. Not vouching for Libra, but my understanding of bitcoin was that it caps out at something ridiculously low like 11 transactions/second, which each cost multiple USD. Clearly that is the bottleneck that needs to be addressed by whatever would lead crypto moving forward (I remember reading visa processes more than 10k transactions/s).

REAMDE is a great book!
With anoime in general it's tricky to draw overarching conclusions because anything produced by a Japanese anoimation studio can just labeled as being in the "anoime genre" instead of basing the genre on the actual thematic elements each individual series explores. Undoubtedly there are many, many repeats of the same male-dominated masturbatory-yet-still-PG13 series that you're describing, because that's just what sells, so people keep making them. However there are series like Psycho-Pass or Neon Genesis Evangelion which are in direct contrast to others that people usually consider stereotypes of "weird Japan", and can be explored pretty deeply. Even something like Madoka could be classified as part a subgenre with long-reaching history but subverts just about everything people would usually expect from it, to the point where you view the original cliches they feel... that much more cliche. But it's probably the same thing with all kinds of media.
This is the very issue I have with a lot of SE dogmas and those that subscribe to one particular set, not just the one described here. Objective truth is an afterthought in most cases.

Most these dogmas are anecdotal at best with very little to no empirical backing within surrounding context, but people will stand by certain approaches as if they were well tested theories like general relativity, newtonian mechanics, or QED.
For what it's worth, I really love the design of this site. It has a really slick xwindows aesthetic.

At the cost of billions in venture capital. The market is starting to correct itself now that most ridesharing companies are publicly traded profit seekers and cutting wages.
Crossing OS boundaries like this just to do development is kind of silly in a way, and still has some frictions. But for the most part it does work really well. The VS Code wsl remote extension is the first thing to tempt me away from IntelliJ Idea in many years.

WSL2 + VS Code + Windows terminal has become a truly viable dev environment.
To be fair, denying application knowledge of _device own_ MAC address is beyond absurd. If Google really wants that, they should buy their own MAC block, and regularly rotate the addresses within it when network is off.

A lot of Android own APIs (such as Wi-Fi P2P and Bluetooth) are built on implicit assumption, that application developer knows MAC address of device it is running on. Instead of fixing those APIs, Google now requires everyone using them to request Precise Location permission from user _and_ enable a Location Toggle in device settings. This is pure harassment.
I don’t disagree, but my assumption is the difference between 100V and 240V is pretty minor under most scenarios.
Where have I done those things?
I'm currently helping re-architect large subsytems inside our multi million line C++ codebase (large commercial desktop app) using data-oriented design. It's working quite well so far, but we're only a few months into the project. Will have to wait another year to do a proper post-mortem.
Look at the number of posts criticizing non-US issues.

There are hardly any.
I think 10kwh is too generous. I would think ~ 5kwh.

The Tesla model 3 is rated as 237 watt-hours/mile, but this article shows 218 wh/mi at 65mph

https://forum.abetterrouteplanner.com/blogs/entry/13-model-3...

Using that exact figure would require 6kwh, and driving slower would require less.
I believe, to some extent, outsiders want to see prestigious organizations fail, as it will make us feel better about our lot somehow. Journalism certainly plays on this as we see the most prestigious firms across consulting, tech, and finance get flame pieces written about relatively small scale issues internally quite often.

While I enjoy the scrutiny organizations draw when due, I can't help but think that most of the news and journalism that gets written about companies like McKinsey is really insignificant in the scheme of their company. 100's of millions of dollars is pretty small in McKinseys organization, and there really is no evidence of a systemic problem here, just a small anomaly/mistake that a few partners called the shot on.

I believe these type of pieces can really bring serious harm to brands that don't necessarily deserve it, but I'm open to hear others opinions. It just seems that traditional news media is becoming the worlds best click baiters, while the importance of what the report on diminishes beneath them.

I have exactly the same feeling. It always felt alien to me people talking about feeling good after finishing some project, unless the thing was so painful that they're glad it's over. What is exciting to me is actually the challenge of the problem-solving.
Rocket.Chat has the same issues. Why do they think this is a good idea to put the thread comments in the main room. It's an absolute mess.
Notable: Markdown-based note-taking app built for developers
Most buzzword pushers are architects or similar in my experience. I suppose that's arguably "middle manager".

I use Hugo and GitHub pages. Here's my workflow:

- Make a new markdown file with the hugo command line ("hugo new posts/my-work-flow.md")

- Writing, writing, writing

- Run the server locally with drafts ("hugo serve -D")

- Check out the post, read through, more writing process

- Update the post to not be a draft and build the blog ("hugo")

- git add, commit, and push to origin

- Check my site in 5 minutes to see it updated

I try to keep it as easy as possible because writing is hard enough as it is. I find it's also very easy to spend time on the things around writing instead of writing, which isn't the point. I've done around three custom lines of CSS to style things differently from the premade theme, but I keep it to a minimum. I do CSS things for my day job and the last thing I want to do when coming home is debugging some custom styles I thought would be slick.

Not sure how you're planning to show graphs and matrices, but syntax highlighting, text, and images are very straightforward in the markdown.

While we're on the topic of Factorio, I find that even from a Factorio player's perspective, the OP is good advice. I've wasted so much time trying to build the perfect base and starting over after building myself into a corner, when really I should have just built something that works "right now" and make iterative improvements over time.
I had to make do with a Commodore 64 until around 1993 I think, by which time PCs were comparable with Amigas or exceeded them.
The problem is people want a simple, one-size-fits-all mental model of what an MVP is.

Different industries, different problems, different solutions = different definitions of what an MVP will and can be.

Most of this entire discussion is useless.
> It is all about risk mitigation. When building for long term use and safety, scenarios like a short from something falling are designed away.

Then you'd want to install Recessed outlets, Outlet Covers, or GFCI Outlets. Since they're designed to be safer, this simply relies on luck that the conductive object bounces off of the neutral pin and away (which may not occur).

Plus the cost isn't free as has been discussed in this thread elsewhere. It breaks a lot of consumer electronics.
Employer provided healthcare arose ouf of WWII wage caps as a way of competing for workers. They remain a major part of the compensation package that many workers look at when choicing an employer.

If an employer were to take the extra money they are spending on healthcare and instead pay it in wages, most workers would be (even more) mad at the lowering quality of their insurance coverage (especially considering employers gennerally can get a better deal than individuals).

We made it all illegal, ignoring the fact that not all Americans can afford the fancy stuff. Maybe there was even offense taken that some people would have less-fancy things.

So now our typical building code says you have to pay for copper wires instead of aluminum, you need arc-fault interrupters instead of circuit breakers or simple fuses, you need wired-in alarms in every room, an air conditioner must be installed, balloon construction is prohibited, walls need internal cross bracing, studs must be close together, and on an on. If you can't afford all that, evidently you aren't supposed to have a home.

Likewise, producing the original VW Beetle and selling it would be illegal. You have to have a zillion air bags, all very expensive. You have to have a camera and a screen. You have to have ABS or even traction control. You have to have a catalytic converter. You have to have more than one brake light. The turn signals must be lights. If you can't afford all that, evidently you don't belong on the road.
Bitcoin is the oldest and thus technically least advanced cryptocurrency. There are plenty of coins that are much better than Bitcoin in terms of privacy and scalability; Libra should be compared against these.
Is the Rise of Millennial Women in Tech Just an Illusion?
If a significant number of people were working now at 30-40-50% reduced wages, then wouldn’t that show up as a decrease in median household income?

Real median household income is at an all time high, up 13% from 2012-2017.
I was mentally thinking about refuting your argument, but then I started wondering about systemd (which I do not like, although I do have concrete criticisms).
My current fantasy is that Apple would open-source SwiftUI and the industry converges around that for native UIs, adding support for custom third-party skins/themes later.

If they can already do it for such distinct devices as Mac, iPhone, iPad, TV and Watch, there's no reason it can' be adapted for Windows, Linux and Android as well.

This is something that should have happened 5 years ago, before Electron etc. had a chance to fill in a obviously much-needed need.

Really, why do we need anything more than "Button" to describe a button, or "List" to describe a list, on any GUI? HTML solved this a trillion years ago, it's a wonder it took so long to be wholeheartedly adopted for native UIs. I know Microsoft tried with WPF/XAML but it didn't seem to catch on.

But elevator operators also served as security - they knew the occupants and could spot trouble. CCTV can be forwarded to the police after a crime but it can't say "Hey, I haven't seen you before, what unit are you in again?"
There are probably a fair amount of code reviews where constructive feedback is needed but not given because the reviewer adhered to the old addage "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Tact takes effort and discipline, just like programming. To draw an analogy, maybe it's like when a dev foresees a bug but can't figure a good way to address it (or isn't motivated to address it, or doesn't have the confidence, isn't fully convinced it's really an issue, &c) decides to turn a blind eye and figures it'll get resolved further down the line if it becomes a serious problem.
At the end of the day, a simple measure like LOC can never capture readability, good or bad, and you get eaten by Goodhart's Law if you focus too much on it.

I know, and I've been there.

There, meaning working absurd extra hours in order to deliver to the client as reneging would mean I have to own up to the client the fact that I totally fucked up the scoping (usually it's scope creep or changing requirements, but you can't really blame them even if it's their fault).

I've done that before, and perhaps other people here are getting paid more to consult than I, but it's not worth it IMO to sacrifice your life for the client.

That's amazing. Please can you tell me which version you're using? I tried

tesseract 3.04.01
leptonica-1.74.1
libgif 4.2.3 : libjpeg 9c : libpng 1.6.34 : libtiff 4.0.9 : zlib 1.2.11 : libwebp 1.0.0 : libopenjp2 2.3.0

If you could email me your scripts, that would be extremely useful. And then I'll send you some subtitles where alignment is important. I just used this channel as an example of where I'd tried Tesseract and given up.
code reviews are for education, which can go both ways.
I won't disagree that it's unacceptable.

But in practice you can prevent the automatic reboots happening while you're working with the 'Change Active Hours' feature (just search on that term in settings).

Again, not arguing about the rightness of Microsoft's silly policy here, but if you're using Windows you might as well obviate the issue. You can - I've never had an automatic update & reboot interrupt me.
We have this discussion on HN every month.

So far the answer I've worked out is:

Because its optimal solution to let talent flow through BigCo in SV. There is no domain or tech-stack specific stuff. So studying for the interview process allows the applicant to apply for multiple companies. At the same time it's a pretty hardcore process, so the company knows they are getting engineering talent that is a) smart and b) obedient.

For the rest of the world it absolutely doesn't make sense and that's why where I live, you don't see that style of interviews at all.
Yes.

In fact gold leaf is 0.1 microns. Standard aluminum foil is 0.016 mm = 16 microns. So 160 times thinner, or about 2 orders of magnitude.

When used to gild buildings in air, it typically lasts 40-50 years. Of course a ship's hull in water is likely to be a much more hostile environment...
as demonstrated, "responsible disclosure" is a huge time waster for the discovery, and the price of this is undervalued even if the company had a clear bug bounty program.

its more valuable than 90-days of a developer's time, not even correlated to time at all really
Deep Fakes Are Coming
This is entirely "stuff I absorbed growing up", but I was very firmly given the impression that I shouldn't mess with the 240V outlets, because the 120V outlets might kill me but the 240V outlets will kill me (of course, in the US, the 120V outlets are 15+/-5A, and the 240V outlets are 30A).

We used to refer to .com files as memory images, because they look the same on disk as they do in memory.

EXE, OVL and the like had relocatable segments, whereas the memory images assumed all segments were within the code segment. cs=ds=es and the stack you just crammed somewhere in that space, usually at the end of the literal code, but still very much inside the space of the one segment you could access.
John Gustafson’s crusade to replace floating point with something better
We can compare total compensation (where total includes also benefits/detriments of living in a specific location) fairly. We can't compare wages fairly. That was likely the point. The only numbers thrown around in the original post were wages, not compensation.
Incidentally, this is why if you're running an electric fence, and you have rocky or dry soil, it is advisable to run alternating hot & ground wires, and to not rely on the ground to complete the circuit.
I prefer to use Ubuntu for development and Windows+WSL for home/gaming. Somehow I don't have the need for Mac in my life. If ever there will be iTerm2 style integration with tmux, I will be able to say that there's nothing at all that holds me to Mac.

Let's call this for what it really is, they want to replace democracy with Corporatism.

At least with a government backed currency we get a choice on who runs the government. Even though that power is constantly being eroded.

The companies that run Libra however have 0 obligation to users of Libra but only to maximise profits for their shareholders. This is their plan:

* Dedicate a lot of resources to spread the adoption of Libra

* Change the language of what Libra is.

* Extract as much value as they possibly can from Libra users.

The proof is simple, If FB and all of those companies dedicated resources to development and adoption of Bitcoin itself then it would be able to reach the goals of Libra and be more decentralised than Libra.

David Marcus and the entire Facebook Libra team make me sick to my stomach.
I agree that "please" is not helpful. Only say "please" if you genuinely mean "well, this is my preference, but the alternative is fine too". It's impossible to take something impolite and make it polite by adding "please" - and you may obtain the opposite result. No matter what a dictionary says.

There's actually differences between Australia and England in the utility of "please". In England, fines get paid faster and more reliably if you say "Please pay now". In Australia, they get paid faster and more reliably if you say "Pay now". If I got a fine that said "please pay now" I'd genuinely think I was freely allowed to not pay now if I didn't want to.

And when I was over there, it was really jarring/humorous where there were all these official signs saying "please do this, please don't do that", especially the ones that said "please don't do that, penalty 50 pounds".

So obviously this is regional. I don't really expect anyone to know who they're code reviewing for, but everyone should be aware that there's nothing universal in the interpretation of "please".
Voltage always kills. It's always voltage.

Amps are a side effect of the thing that is killing you - volts.

The only time a voltage sufficient enough to kill you, doest kill you, is when it is only present for an extremely small amount of time and/or not traversing your heart.
Re: I'm the author.

Gulp!

I suppose I was looking for a few key ideas/themes as a summary the way we are taught to create and seek out in college writing courses, typically "essay style" you could say. Habit. Instead, it's more of a collection of relatively indendent notes.
Wrong. Bitcoin will use Lightning Network for most everyday transactions and it's speed is only limited by network liquidity and bandwidth
Libya was in the midst of a civil war before the UN military intervention you referred to. In fact, the military intervention occurred mere hours before Gaddafi's plans to obliterate Benghazi could be implemented. The military intervention was a no-fly zone to prevent Gaddafi's forces from killing civilians [0]. So people are dying daily, not because of a UN intervention, but because Gaddafi's ouster created a vacuum that resulted in a power struggle. Note that the only other alternative would have been for Gaddafi to retain power at the cost of significant loss of life.

The other point is that the people desperate to emigrate are non-Libyan Africans using Libya as a port of departure. These people have suffered rape, mutilation etc at the hands of the various warring factions.

Not only does the cost of insurance and benefits accrue directly to the employee and absolutely counts as part of total compensation, but so does the employer share of payroll taxes, and even things like health & safety improvements in the workplace like that ergonomic chair you may be sitting in. All of these things redirect parts of the “fully loaded cost” of an employee away from your paycheck, and studying them helps explain why median real paychecks have not grown.
AvE is another channel in a similar vein (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChWv6Pn_zP0rI6lgGt3MyfA)
The point is that salaries are not directly comparable as geography varies because cost of living is radically different, nurse or not.

I am fairly sure that if I moved to SF I would make 70%-100% more than I do in London, doing essentially the same job. In Poland if I had to guess I'd say a drop of at least half.

What is relevant is whether or not the salary is reasonable within the location.
