I don’t mind it. Personally I find that it gives an incredible amount of dollar cost averaging, since as little as $5 gets invested at a time. All transaction fees are included with the $1-$2 a month.

Additionally it’s not a black box because you get to select from 5 options that explicitly show the exact allocation and which ETF it goes to.

To each his own, but I find that it takes away a lot of the psychological thought of investing in a cost effective way. But the $1-2 a month can end up being a large fee if you don’t have more than $10 or $20k invested.
So now we're including "survival of the unfittest" as part of evolutionary theory? Sorry, this makes zero sense. If humans really did evolve, then we hit the lottery - several times.
Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this essentially just coroutines? In Lua you can do `myFile = coroutine.yield("get a file")` to pause your coroutine, and when the caller does `coroutine.resume(someFile)` it's resumed with the value passed in.

EDIT: I guess the difference would be in Lua, yields return to where they were resumed each time, while in algebriac effects they return to the nearest handler for that case. You'd need some boilerplate to bubble up all effects you don't care about up another level at each handler in Lua.

This could also be "fixed" by dietary supplement, but you run the risk of aggravating your immune system. One way to introduce this back into the system is by consuming red meat. The conclusion from this is EMPHATICALLY NOT that to reduce the risk of CVD due to meat consumption you should eat more red meat. The immune effects likely are more damaging.

This is like asking I was talking to this medicine person today who was telling me about his perfectly effective zero-cost therapy. He was wondering how to market the idea as it didn't get any tracktion [sic] in the market.

* Firstly, "tech person" is strange considering this place is Hacker News, and possibly insulting.

* "Unbreakable" is unbelievable.

* "Crypto" is not specific enough. (Is it a symmetric cipher, asymmetric crypto, a secure hash?)

There are cryptological competitions like this [0] one (it is too late to contest now in that one). I am not an expert, but I think if you were doing your own "crypto contest" thing, you would need to ensure the winners get at least on the order of 50000$ (consider that people get thousands of dollars just on bug bounties, the money may need to replace tenure, attackers may be better funded, etc.)

The salty language of these last few comments reminds me of the old FuckedCompany.com website. A guy named "Pud" ran it, and it was great. But I guess he got bored with it.

He'd write about Accenture back in the days. And when he did he'd always say: Accenture (pronounced ass-enter).

Sigh. Apologies in advance if this is drifting too much into Reddit territory.

As for that website redesign, I bet that USA Accenture shipped the actual work off to some third world country, probably India. It seems like standard modus operandi to get stuff back from India that only attempts to meet the bare minimum. E.g. as the article notes, just hardwire Hertz specific stuff, so can't easily deal with sister companies like Dollar and Thrifty.

It's a difficult problem to solve with outsourcing. You'll rarely get any sense of ownership from them. And why would you expect any?

The minispartan FPGA devboard has HDMI in- and output and is decently priced. On the other hand, I don't think it is fast enough to process full hd (only hd, so 1280x720).

See http://hamsterworks.co.nz/mediawiki/index.php/FPGA_Projects for many examples (also using different boards).

Edit: Just realized that storing a single frame needs quite some memory. This is something you need to keep in mind. If you use the DDR RAM on the board you'll probably be find, but this is not trivial (even using the tools designed to do this).
I wonder what another Great Games Crash would even look like. Publishers go out of business but platforms like Steam prosper as they already have more superb games that anyone can play in a lifetime?

SAE is probably the best term to search for but it looks like recovery depends on the severity of the sepsis:

Sepsis Associated Encephalopathy: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4590973/

> SAE should not be regarded as an acute reversible state and there may be long term cognitive as well as radiological deficits in survivors of SAE. The neurological outcome depends on the severity of sepsis: mild cases likely recover completely, while survivors of severe sepsis may have long term deficits. At present therapeutic choices are limited and are mainly based on symptom control.

I'm 100% remote working full time for a household name financial company. I'm making $150k, plus 6 weeks vacation, 401k match, etc. I'm in process negotiating a consulting gig that will pay a little over $300k that is also 100% remote. That one is a corp to corp contract, not an employee position.

Hang in there, you'll find your spot. My advice would be to make friends with a few recruiters for the big headhunting firms. With a little patience for terrible signal to noise ratio they should help you break the $100k mark for remote work. Sometimes you gotta shop around for the right recruiters. The first person you talk to is probably not the person with the right contacts.

Basically, in GUIs the most common commands are represented in UI, and some combined into a single action. Also, visually viewing the entire tree (not sure the name for the entire branching structure) can be helpful to debugging and fixing issues caused by merging, accidental overwrites, etc.

The disadvantages are:

- cherry picking commits is not easy

- lacks advanced (read uncommon) commands

- sometimes git errors are encountered that can only be solved with command line anyways

It's also way easier to onboard junior engineers who haven't used version control before.

He had a poor experience with them some time ago, and Googles behaviour in the last 7 years has been abysmal and seems to be getting far worse. eg likely re-inforcing his opinion.

Cats, being obligate carnivores and lacking a proper mechanism for extracting energy out of fatty acids (e.g. ketogenesis in humans), have actually very efficient kidneys to dispose of all the nitrogen coming from their protein-exclusive metabolism.

Domestic cats are at risk, but that is more a result of domestication and improper feeding (carbohydrate) than evolution or genetics. Unless I am missing something, of course! Care to elaborate?

I once had a superpower like this. I bought the Verizon Unlimited 4G internet plan before throttling or data caps were a thing in roughly 2010.

I had the Droid Razr Maxx and later Samsung Galaxy S5 with 1 5 dollar app that turned my phone into a hotspot (FoxFi) that the Verizon could neither detect, prevent, or charge extra for. I used 200+ GB's of blazing fast internet over the air for something like $50 a month for about 5 years.

It was an insanely good deal. The only rules were I was not allowed to make any modifications to the plan because it was taken off the market and I was considered "grandfathered" in. The "unlimited" plans of today are nothing like that plan was. They have data caps, are throttled, and traffic get reprioritized.

It was just as much a part of me as this ticket was for this gentleman (well not quite that much, but you get the point). Eventually Verizon just flat out upped the price to over $100 per month and it became unsustainable. Glorious while it lasted, sorely missed.
It's a nice error message, but it's a runtime error, it might not happen until weeks into production. It's technically just a crash with a useful error message. "strict typing that enforces type declarations" is generally called static typing, and does not necessarily always require annotations or declarations. It spots such errors at compile time using static analysis.

Fork is awesome. I've been using Windows for the past year for a project and missed GitUp on Mac.

After trying a few clients (Tower, SourceTree, Kraken, and a few others) I stayed with Fork - very fast, performant, and intuitive. Right now I have about 15 repo tabs open in Fork with a large number of branches in each. The tree view is excellent (I actually liked the older one-line-per-entry version).

Fork recently added the ability to compare branches - literally click two times to get a diff within half a second.

I really can't believe this app is free. Well done to the makers of this excellent app!

The sewers in Seoul are definitely not hundreds of years old; most of them were built after the Korean War.

The subway authority in Seoul had some research done when they were preparing to get rid of wastebaskets in their public bathrooms a couple of years ago. They found that the plumbing infrastructure is more than capable of handling normal amounts of toilet paper, even in older stations. But clogs happen when the paper gets tangled up with wet wipes, feminine hygiene products, and miscellaneous items such as pens and phones (yes, phones!) that are either accidentally or deliberately dropped in the toilet.

When the subway authority and other large institutions did eventually get rid of the wastebaskets (they're smelly nuisances at best and biohazard at worst), the change was accompanied by a massive awareness campaign to discourage throwing foreign objects in the toilet. Separate receptacles for feminine hygiene products were added to women's bathrooms. There were some hiccups at first, but I think the change has been well received for the most part.

tl;dr: Paper is not the problem. A widespread habit of throwing foreign objects in the toilet is.
Fitness doesn’t mean what you think it means. As others have noted on this post, this mutation confers some resistance to malaria.

When the options are “malaria with high probability from birth onwards” or “heart attack after multiple decades with high probability if nothing else kills you first”, this is fitness.

Besides which, if humans didn’t evolve, you need to explain why the creator didn’t use a better mechanism to prevent us from getting malaria. For example: not creating malaria when they created us.

It's not and it's not even suggested that it exists as a feature on any of the Android devices I ever owned or played with. The dialog for setting up location has no option that absolutely turns off every method that is directly used to determine/infer location. Ok, this is also a user education problem but Google certainly isn't doing anything to suggest the "precise location" won't just provide a precise location to the user.

And most people take the common sense approach and assume turning off WiFi will actually turn it off. Instead not only are they still tracked, they lose battery life too.
JS's generator functions have a yield operator that that works in a very similar way - a function can 'pause' and return a value and then resume from the same place the next time it's called. I think that's closer to Lua's yield than the effect Dan is talking about in the article.

“Writes like Python runs like C” is one tagline I’ve seen them use. Julia gives you a lot of control over how fast you want your code to be. You can write some code without really thinking too much and it’ll be fast and work just fine. If you get to a point where it’s not fast enough then there’s a whole host of tools to help you speed it up.

At any stage you can call @code_{warntype, lowered,...} and inspect exactly what code has been produced by the compiler to find bottlenecks.

I’ve not written much R before but in my experience I’ve never had to go to those lengths to debug Julia code! (Although the error messages can sometimes be a bit of a mouthful, I think because it uses LLVM)
