Everyone expects the frontend to be easy, especially non-engineers: "hey, it's just a box, and you can just resize it and center it just that way..", while non-engineers would just move away when you mention thread/concurrency/parallelism.

The outside perception, I am afraid, affects me. I don't want to be stuck all the time doing things that are equally hard, but much less appreciated.

I have a lot of respect for frontend development, and approach it with the same kind of caution and respect that I do the backend stuff, however that is not always appreciated, and since it can get complicated fast, and people are expected to finish quickly as if on a treadmill, those things get messed up, hacked, and brittled up.

Another analysis paralysis issue with frontend is cost/benefit for doing it "right." Since frontend is a leaf and not the dependency of another layer in the application, it becomes dispensible to a certain extend in some scenarios. It is seen as replaceable and not worth spending a lot of time on. So when working on frontend, second guessing whether it will be scrapped off later is always hanging in there, paralysing you between "engineering" mode, or just give it a quick hack.

I would not dread doing frontend development, if allowed to do things correctly.
How much does visual voicemail cost? I've never really noticed any significant fees on my bill related to it.
Why risky? This vulnerability applies to any runtime or program that isn't signed as far as I can tell. It's not specific to Electron or JavaScript.

Aside from that, I don't know what the situation is in the year 2019 but does C still allow you to easily mess up memory management?

"Proof"? "All financial services"? Now you sound as if you expected me to produce a mathematical proof.

At least produce something that attempts to sound like a cogent theory, like the Marxists. (Though Karl Marx explicitly invents his own form of "logic" to do so.) Seems like you just don't like certain kinds of people, based on your prejudices about certain industries.

I'd say that when your superior/boss requests you to harm others, you don't owe them obedience.

I'd say that when some "activist" requests you to harm others, they aren't on the side of justice.

Disobedience, cheating etc. aren't inherently "evil".

Against someone who isn't intentionally doing you harm? That sounds pretty evil to me. Of course, the world's very worst evils consist of convincing one's own side the other is "evil" by redefining what that means, thereby justifying the other's harm.
It sounds like you don't know what Rust is or how it works.
"Movie theaters do not make money off of ticket sales, but concessions."

Both ticket sales and concession sales have positive gross margins, and contribute to the bottom line.

If you artificially separate a cinema business into two pieces, making the 'ticket sales' business responsible for 90% of the overheads (rent etc.), and the concessions part responsible for 10%, then it would appear that the 'ticket sales' business does not make money.

But, in reality, the tickets sales revenue is required in order to run the business, not just to draw in customers for the 'concessions' business, but also to help pay for rent.
I wondered how much part some kind of hack played into downing these planes.
I've got a glass kettle with a steel(?) base element (not coil) and it's worked fine for years. There is some black rust but I'm pretty sure that's harmless, and the water tastes clean. Much better than when I travel, I swear I can taste the plastic in the water in hotel kettles.

So maybe it's just the brand. I did pay about $50 which is a little expensive but not extremely, and it's lasted over 10 years already.
Sky Credit Solution is the best credit repair company out there
Being able to handle people’s problem efficiently and effectively is a thing worth gratitude in every ramification. What SKY CREDIT SOLUTION did for I and my family is immeasurable, I had a very poor FICO of 510, I had a repo, student loans, evictions and a coupe of late payments. After my niece convinced me I contacted SCS and they boosted my FICO to 790 and removed all evictions, late payments and repo. I know how unbelievable this may sound but they actually gave me a reason to be happy again. If you would like to engage their services Text (620) 399 6316 or Email SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM. They are the best and surest means of getting your credit fixed. Tell them NICK told you so

I don’t get what you’re trying to say? The GP says the new api which Facebook should use has been available 3 years, implying that fb ought to have made the change long ago. I say they had no reason to make the change in the last three years [because Apple are dropping support for the old api now and only announced this recently]. And you say that’s wrong (so FB should have made the change 3 years ago) because ... the app will have been fine? Or because Apple behave nobly? I don’t see how it follows.
Any idea when Zen2 laptops
I assume they're throughput numbers[1], going as ~1/(time taken). So higher is better.

The percentages for "A vs B" seems to me to be (score_A / score_B - 1) * 100.

It's likely he meant the oxen had reflective wet-looking faces, like the surface of the ocean was wet-looking, as in the context it was used the oxen were sweating pretty hard:

> ...but as two wine-faced oxen both strain their utmost at the plow which they are drawing in a fallow field, and the sweat steams upwards from about the roots of their horns – nothing but the yoke divides them as they break up the ground till they reach the end of the field – even so did the two Ajaxes stand shoulder to shoulder by one another.

Still seems a waste to pump it into party balloons. What are going to do in a few hundred years time when we use these new reserves. Seems a little selfish to just let them worry about it when the time comes.
Because it can be a color term, it's just not always a color term. Just like in English I can use the word "metallic" to refer to a taste, color, smell, or feeling depending on context.

Translate it literally as "wine-face" and it usually makes sense in English. In the case of the sea, it's referring to its dark wine-like surface. In the case of the cows, it's their ruddy wine-like color. There's also an element of the cows being strong, since wine can create an invigorating feeling in the drinker.

Yeah, I never understood that. At the first half sensitive job I had, the cleaning crew had access to all the computer rooms, including the server one. I had thought of trying to push my boss into using encryption for our emails but abandoned after realizing that.

I still believe it was dangerous to use gmail for the company emails when Google was one of our competitors in our niche.

I think the one reason is that if you need the best gaming desktop performance Intel still dominates, but that little extra performance is coming at a very steep price.

per discussions with people in this space, they act like they have money burning a hole in their pocket. Compare to Buffet who will just accumulate cash if he doesn't feel he has a good place to put it.
I was a big baseball fan when I was a kind (like under 12). I lost interest after that and it was rekindled by watching Japanese baseball. My own personal opinion is that the length of the game is not really a problem. Take a look at cricket -- it's both longer, more boring and dramatically more popular than baseball.

The thing I find about American baseball is that I think it lacks drama. I've felt the same way about a lot of Premier league football (soccer). At the top end in soccer, they can pass the ball endlessly and then suddenly score for 30 yards out. It's breathtaking, but ultimately boring, IMHO.

With American baseball, it's similar. You have guys who can hit ridiculous home runs. You have pitchers that are so good that they can play the entire game without really losing much. Often, in American baseball, you'll only have 2 pitchers for the whole game.

What I've enjoyed about Japanese baseball is that it's really never over. Your pitcher can suddenly just stop being able to throw the ball over the plate. Or the batters learn their timing. Even if you are losing 7 - 0, you still have a chance! There is a saying that baseball doesn't start until there are 2 outs. Your whole goal is to get a man on base and then start putting on the psychological pressure. In Japanese baseball, it is common strategy if you have a man on base and no outs, to throw away your next 2 outs advancing that man to 3rd -- because this is where baseball starts.

With American baseball, the pitcher will just shut you down. The batters usually have a single goal: hit a home run. There are obviously amazing players in the US and all the best players in the world want to play there.... But, I don't find it as interesting, personally. Nothing at all to do with the length of the game. Longer games mean that I can drink more beer! (Just like cricket... Um... I assume that's not true of Pakistan. They must actually love cricket ;-) ).

Not so much that it doesn't work at all. More like, it appears to work and then fails horribly down the road.

I've been bitten by it too much. It's typically the auto-complete feature of mobile keyboards that fails. Something that you don't always see in emulators.
I said "heat, by itself", not just "heat". And I stand by what I said. It is fundamentally correct. The state of entropy of the an isolated system will always increase over time.

Yes, you can bring in other things, like an outside system or additional useable energy, but that only disproves the misquoted version of my statement.
One pretty solid indicator of recessions to the year or two is the inverted yield curve on short and long term yields. From the FRED: 10-Year Treasury Constant Maturity Minus 2-Year Treasury Constant Maturity (T10Y2Y) [1].

Once it dips and inverts, recession seems fairly consistent. Nothing is ever guaranteed but it is better reliability than most financial media, though the possible inverted yield curve is getting attention [2].

Machines and A.I. run it mostly now though, so game theory is now in their/algorithms hands. We are mere spectators in the speculative simulation. They are definitely watching for an inverted yield curve.

The reason 'red' is acceptable to describe the horse, despite the fact that it is clearly not red, is because the concept of orange only entered the English languange relatively recently. Before that it was described as red, and some vestiges of this remain (e.g. redhead).

Imagine a continuous colour wheel. Most people from the same culture today will draw the same boundaries between colors. Red, purple, blue, green, etc. What is to say these boundaries are objective? If in our own language red through orange was once referenced with a single word, why shouldn't red through blue have a single name in ancient Greek?
One thing that's easy to miss, is that there's a lot of background processing essential for usable E2E that doesn't actually result in a user-visible notification. Much of this involves the local app doing some sort of server interaction in response to a push.

This could include responding to a message retry request, uploading new keys, handling receipts, etc.
Amazon already has 1st generation EPYC servers available: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/amd/ so I assume they will follow up as well.

I assume that humidity messes with the detection of particle size. I have a LaserEgg particulate matter detector and they use a laser beam to count the particles in the air that flows through the device (via a small aspirating fan). So if particles are more clumped due to higher humidity, then I assume that would give you faulty/misleading readings?
I see. How do you choose bonds for your investment portfolio?

It's a Hacker News classic, so a lot of the people here have read it, and they link to it when it's relevant.
For example, having learned about mummia, I might incorporate it as an item or crafting ingredient in a game :) and a player might learn about this through that, which may inspire them on to something else.
There's a very slight advantage of Intel CPUs in non-GPU constrained games (which means more or less 1080p only...). Very slight. Price/performance falls on Ryzen 3 so hard it's foolish to get an Intel for sure.

There's no business reason on desktop or server for Intel for sure but there's so much inertia here which AMD needs to counter, it'll take years.

Intel is down on the floor until 2021-2022 when their 7nm (which is a smaller node than TSMC's 7nm) begins to ship because a) there's no reason to believe 10nm actually will ship in quantity b) there's every reason to believe even if it does, it's not going to be great, the first iteration of a process is never so and 14nm is so fine tuned by now, it is better in watt/performance which makes Ice Lake look stupid. 7nm is said to be a totally different, independent development and not a fine tune of the (dead) 10nm.

Intel has 12B cash at hand though so don't expect them to just go out with a whimper. If their profits go down a little for 2-3 years, they will live. The stock price didn't crash, with good reason. AMD had a net loss for seven consecutive quarters before turning a profit in Q2 2016. Intel won't even turn unprofitable for a similar period of time, just it'll have a littles less profit. And, again, they have a decent sized war chest to draw on if necessary.

The chip business is a slow business. In 2012, Intel said they will ship 10m chips in 2015. https://www.crn.com/news/components-peripherals/240007274/in... This is about the same time when AMD re-hired Jim Keller. AMD saw their window in 2015 when Intel 10nm didn't ship, thrown away K12 in a hurry and brought Zen to market in 2016 -- surely they didn't expect they will have a five year run when Intel can't put up a competition.

The fun will start in 2021 when TSMC is expected to have a refined 5nm (they call it 5nm Plus) process which you bet AMD will use vs Intel 7nm.
Hey, do you have anything handy to support this? I can totally do my own research if it's hard for you to recall your sources. Just hoping for a quick lead or two. If you roughly remember the title of the papers or the names of authors or the regions studied, anything at all, it'll help me search faster and I'd be mega grateful.

yes higher probability when you have rich white people vouch for you

yes, going where they are helps, be interesting, act like them, do some lines (optional) - if that doesn't come natural because you pride yourself in conforming to a different subculture - then try this perspective:

this same strategy works in every country.

get someone that looks like the power group in those countries. you aren't going to expand your market in China and simultaneously worry about disenfranchised minority groups in China, you're going to go in China guns blazing with a local influencer that's a registered party member.

You aren't going to expand into former Soviet countries, digging for disenfranchised minority groups to be on your billboard just to show how much progress has been made, you are going to go there for sales and support.

It's a mistake to treat America and the rest of the West differently.

After you already are comfortable, you can consider trying to inspire people that look like you or have the same background as you. But before then, its just a distraction when there is a path of less resistance.

With bunker oil some fraction of a percent of generated power comes from burning the sulfur. Tells you much what you need to know about that.

And yes it's very interesting to look at transport modes by hp per ton. You find that ships, trains, and trucks requirements are modest compared to passenger cars.

And all that was done without a computer.
And the SVG icons... lol. Devs can't be bothered to set a reasonable default size in the image itself, so you're greeted with a huuuge twitter icon accross the entire screen and the page is just 20000px of huge "social" icons with 500px of text somewhere there if you scroll carefully.

Almost nobody actually cares about graceful degradation these days.
Always good to hear that software has a role in progressing hard technology.
The aircraft was actively cooled[1], so I suppose they could always force a bit more cooling if needed. My guess is on engines - and not necessarily thermal limitation, probably rather inlet speed.

Funnily enough, having read the Sled Driver[2], I don't remember any clear explainer whether the engine or the airframe was thermally limited. Perhaps it was there and I forgot by now?

[edit]
Wikipedia to the rescue, "Maximum flight speed was limited by the temperature of the air entering the engine compressor, which was not certified for temperatures above 800 °F (430 °C)." [3] The inlet air was necessarily heated as side effect of being slowed down to subsonic speeds, necessitated by the nature of the turbine engine.

Comparing it to a full time job is not really fair.

From my experience, doing sysadmin for a single server only takes time initially. You might spend a couple weeks full time to get everything going, but 6 months in it's probably only a couple hours a week.
Arguments like this are absurdity taken to the max. Any executive's pay is a tiny tiny fraction compared to the combined salary of all the employees. Even if you set that salary to zero and divided it up all equally to all the employees (fractionally, so those who already make more get a bigger cut) the engineers would only get a couple dollars extra.

Secondly stock buybacks are similarly tiny compared to how much money a company actually has to give to its employees. Run the calculation some time. You need to be looking at revenues, not profits.

For whatever it’s worth (probably not much), I actually ran into someone who interviewed with a company that your company was recruiting for, and that person did not pass your interview. Based on their account, your bar for security engineers is far higher than the norm. I seriously question whether you understand how mediocre the mean security engineer actually is, even at top tier companies, given that you seem to surround yourself with top tier talent. There is a vast ocean of OWASP 101 grads landing senior positions out there.
I have had the worst experiences with Amazon logistics. Packages marked as "can not deliver" at 930pm to a building with a front desk (two days in a row).

I asked them about never sending me something with Amazon logistics again and they indicated that they flipped a flag to remove it as a shipping method.

Drastic changes aren't needed. The rules just need to be tweaked to encourage efficient play.

Not allowing batters to step out is one good idea. Excessive pitcher changes is a huge problem. Each change adds 3-5 minutes to a game. One thing I haven't heard mentioned is providing a way for catchers (teams) to call pitches in a more secure manner. Catchers go through so many signs just to communicate a pitch type while a runner is behind the pitcher. Each pitch could add an 5-10 seconds to hide the sign from the runner, depending on the scenario.
In London, councils (and TfL, who are responsible for transport and roads) will often fight against developers who want to include excessive parking, or expand existing parking. Getting planning permission for new developments is significantly easier if they're car-free.
