This. Our team tends to take more of a Kanban approach and we've yet to miss a quarterly delivery and always have a good sense of how far along we are. Meanwhile, the higher ups think it's black magic we don't spend 4 hours in "sprint planning" every two weeks.
It sounds like your manager failed to adequately represent your work.
There is plenty of money to be made placing bets on climate change. Those people are already locking in as we speak.

Climate change denial is part of a financial scheme. A lot f money is being made, and will be made at every stage. It’s only the riff-raff that actually believe it. The people who own the big accounts know it’s happening and are making money off it.

Not to mention certain nation states with large arctic holdings.

I haven't seen an AMP page in over 2 years, and I use Google search a lot. Anytime I saw one I clicked away in disgust, so maybe they're filtered for me.

The problem is all the people and big websites that don't seem to care at all about their own content pushing amp as some sort of great solution for website speed. Sad, but it seems to have died down.
Many people hate motion smoothing though; my mom was complaining that their new TV made everything look like a soap opera until I disabled it.

Like many other things, this is all down to personal preferences; similarly I have friends who can't stand to game at anything <120FPS and one who gets motion sick at 60FPS, while I would rather turn up the graphical detail and survive with 60. Neither opinion is more correct, and you have had several people upthread saying they prefer 24 for films (myself included).
meh. Inhaling a bunch of chemicals was always gonna be a roll of the dice.

Better question is whether it's more dangerous than smokes cause people will want their nicotine fix one way or the other
I used java for competitive coding competions, so I know the basics, but I've never used any frameworks in java before. Having experience in web development and knowing the basics of java, I thought I would be productive in spring boot in a few weeks but I never would have guessed I would be so completely lost with spring boot. (please don't ask me how many weeks I spent learning spring boot, it's simply embarrassing).

>Rust looked promising but was taken over by the "functional" crowd and is doomed to Haskell obscurity.

I think that's unfair and inaccurate. Rust is going to remain niche because most developers are happy with garbage collected languages and have no need to switch to Rust. Rust will eat a bit into C++'s domain, but I don't think it'll ever take over the world. GC is good enough, works great now and worked great 20 years ago.
> You might also get flooded with rather demanding emails by technically incompetent people who complain that your free source code release didn't solve their problem.

Once I learned to listen to incompetent users, I started to create usable software.

My gut reaction is still, "RTFM you're doing it wrong." But now I follow that up by figuring out how to make the software work like the user thought it should or I change it so they never get in the frustrating situation in the first place.

What I finally realized was that if one person got frustrated enough with my software that they took the trouble to post an incoherent and technically incorrect rant on Github then it's likely that 100s more users had similar problems and said nothing.

Now I receive effusive emails about my Open-Source almost weekly.
on my side it's mostly that studies only cover a few kind of liquids.. and still no regulation came out to only sell safe ones.

>What the hell is wrong with you idiots, safer than cigarettes is not the same as safe

I don't see anything wrong with the second part of that statement. Of course, the first part comes across as being an pretentious twat, but it's important to remind people who actually believe vapes are perfectly safe and can do no harm.
Ironically, that'd still be better than JRE, because your NLP libs end up spending most of their time in high performance, memory efficient C++ code that underpins such libs.
who wants to see that?
In the medium to long term, yes. At least compared to climate change.

However, a financial crisis -- let's say of the scale of 2008 but which is unresponsive to government intervention (or said intervention is handcuffed due to geopolitical factors) could see the average person's life change dramatically in the course of weeks, rather than years or decades. Supply chains ground to a halt, shortages of fuel and basic goods, social unrest . . .
Even if your website isn't up to the ridiculous speed standards of some tests, do yourself a favour and remove AMP. Your content and website are more important than 2 seconds shaved off the load speed. And start using smarter monetising techniques, not just stupid PPV/PPC ads.
No, but the HYSTERIA created by idiot alarmists definitely causes financial harm!
Based on the ESA statement it’s probably a case of hanlon's razor where they have nobody on-staff to do a proper incident response. They also said they “shut down the site”, which really meant they removed/hidden the page in WordPress but they didn’t remove the culprit file nor did they take down the E3 website.
Doubtful.

DoD/DoE contractors and manufacturers retain a large portion of military contracted IP material. For example, CNWDI in the nuclear world does not allow a anyone in the military access/knowledge portions of bombs/warheads below the maintenance plates. Sandia/LLNL/LANL keeps a (literal) tight lid on that knowledge, much less the very physical appearance.

If the same schema were applied to airframes, it’s likely that Lockheed and NG retain rights to the manufacturers specific IP, which would include the source code to any avionics packages.
The person you are replying to wasn't discouraging people from buying used phones generally, just ones that you have reason to believe are stolen.
The submission actually states (correctly): "UCS-2 can only represent the first 65536 characters of Unicode, also known as the Basic Multilingual Plane."

UTF-16 can represent all Unicode code points, through surrogate pairs when needed.

Systems that originally were designed for UCS-2 have often been upgraded to UTF-16. E.g. Windows, JS. But it is then not UCS-2 anymore. In some case the documentation and/or function names, etc., might talk incorrectly about being UCS-2 (while they really are UTF-16 now) for historical reasons, adding to the confusion.

There's a lag (potentially years) in judging peer competency (or cognitive dissonance) when you switch domains. Gatekeeping and poor new-hire integration are early warnings.

You might ask yourself if your current executives are aware of the issues you're seeing, then think through what you can control and re-prioritize.
Yes, residual solvents are possible with the THC extraction process. I prefer to use THC concentrates extracted with CO2 to avoid inhaling residual solvents.
Ugh, while I appreciate the work that goes into these tools and see the value, I hate the needlessly critical language about “irrelevant” details and “bloated” cloud infrastructure.

These components are lightweight and simple and trivially easy to use because they are lightweight and simple and cover trivial use cases. But if you build anything beyond the trivial you will eventually have to get into the weeds, and the details are no longer irrelevant, and the “bloat” will happen to your beautiful lightweight and simple Serverless configuration.

There’s no need to ridicule the inevitable complexity of complexity to sell this stuff. It’s just pointless negativity.
I agree on the smug dick part, but is 3 really trivializing addiction? Or is it perhaps a useful counter to the egregious motivated reasoning that goes along with addiction?

I certainly think we should be sympathetic with addicts and help them where we can. But I don't think that requires accepting the obvious bullshit that addicts come up with in justifying their behavior. And it's not like vaping is the only way to kick a nicotine habit.

Many companies use Jira tickets to track employee time, instead of having a separate time tracking system.

This creates a situation where everyone is searching for tickets to make up for their daily 8h.
No man I wouldn't want to call those horrific c functions compared to those sweet python functions ! and the libs calling those C functions do much more than just being a wrapper. they add a lot of tooling around.

> The two contract delivery drivers working for Amazon had a clear-cut assignment: They were supposed to bring packages from a warehouse south of Seattle to a post office for shipping, or sometimes drive to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to pick up items that were being returned to the company.

They stole that stuff. It was stuff going to customers, or returns coming back from customers.
What does "differentiable programming" mean? When I've looked up the term before it seems to relate to differentiation in the conventional mathematical, numerical sense. Is this something more?
Command disablement is present on airframes dating as far back as the B-52.

Nondestructive remote command disablement (what you’re referring to) is probably a real thing. It would fit the same schema that other weapons systems already have (nuclear weapons, drones, satellites).
I think in (3) you should separate the smoker -> vapers versus the non smoker -> vapers. I've seen a lot of the latter amongst younger people, which really sucks IMO.

I grew up far from the bike friendly cities of the Øresund region, middle of Swedish forests. We still had a special bike day around 2nd or 3rd grade where the police came and marked our bikes. And we got to learn the rules of signalling and right of way.

Well, I'd like to see it gone for the simple reason that many sites and blogs (especially those run by not very webtech inclined people) are using it simply because they saw somewhere that it "increases page load speed", and "that's important".

It's not important, 2 or even 5 more seconds of load speed is irrelevant (and you probably don't want the visitors who can't wait 5 seconds anyway) for good content, and you lose most of your control over your own stuff.

Stop playing into the hands of Google, Facebook, Microsoft, et al
With the difference quite likely being that Japanese children are rarely born out of wedlock as the article suggests.
I haven't read the paper yet, but I think it's exactly about differentiating (semi-)arbitrary functions written in a conventional-ish programming language.
So, I am just trying to understand how it's worse than caffeine.

I vape but I simply don't get how bad it is compared to the normal smog and other impure air we breathe. Nicotine aside,what makes vaping risky? Like are there specific chemical substances? When i starter it I assumed it was nictone,water vapor and flavorings which have no known side effects on the lung.
Another way of putting it: words have connotations as well as meanings.

People do sometimes seem to forget this! - so it's good to have a reminder.
The categorisation you are trying to make us accept is ridiculous.

I can deploy a python web application I have written to a new web server within minutes by clicking deploy in bitbucket.

So using your definition:

* The code is already written.

* I clicked a few menus and I had the python code I wanted running.

It isn't a python application. However the web application when it receives a request will run python code. It is clearly a python based web application.
It definitely seems like the ideal solution is bacterial sequestration of carbon into some inert, non-toxic, storable chemical.
The fact that Copenhagen even has fire hydrants is very amusing to me as a Swede because we have those valves in the ground.

That way no one can block them unless they park on the sidewalk or in the middle of the street.
the idea was more to get that extra bit of speed for profiled bottlenecks. not a need, more a want. benchmark game currently puts Julia on par with go, not rust. also it seems to forgo simd except for obvious cases with large arrays.
AMP results are persistently - as in, without exception - at the top of all results for any search that has an active news event attached to it.

Right now nine of the first ten results for "Walmart shooting" in incognito mode stock Chrome on Android, are AMP articles.

Do that search, if you're not seeing those AMP articles then you're doing something very unusual with your setup.
5G is clearly not necessary yet, but it's also nowhere near close to being widely deployed (that will happen over the next 3-5 years). AR, and pervasive computing in general, will eventually make 5G more than a novelty however.

in any case, i personally doubt apple will add 5G in 2020, as they tend to be conservative on wireless tech (including wifi, bluetooth, etc.), waiting 1-2 years after the first rollouts by early adopters (like samsung), to make sure the kinks are worked out all around (equipment makers and carriers too). 2021 is probably more likely for the first 5G iphone, and 2022 will likely be the year you'll want to buy it.
This is the most ridiculous headline I've ever seen.
Worse is better is a simple minded and wrong interpretation. In reality the outward simplicity of pledge(2) masks a great deal of high quality engineering and research. The categories for pledge were not just pulled out of someone’s ass.

Seccomp like so many Linux interfaces is the “fuck it” here’s an exhaustive yet half baked set of tools, you can do anything! This barely works out in gp programming, but is always an unmitigated disaster in anything security related.
In ~2003, I replaced my desktop that had been Intel-based with a Duron 800MHz system, only I didn't have enough budget to get it the RAM it required (new/different slot iirc), so I only had the 128MB it came with (whereas my old machine had 768MB cobbled together from like six dimms).

I figured that one hop over 100Mbit Ethernet to remote memory was going to be faster then swapping to spinning rust (remember this was before consumer SSDs, and onions on our belts), so I made a ramdisk on the old machine and mounted it over the network with the nbd (network block device) kernel driver, ran swapon on the nbd and boom, extra "512MB" of RAM.

It worked amazingly well, and (knock on wood) none of my roommates ever tripped over the Ethernet cables.
I wouldn't consider it python code if it is a cookie cutter website where the creator didn't have to write a single line of python. It's not about deployment it's about the process of creation. Why don't you consider each and every website running PHP also a C website?
What do the ingredients on your packet say?
So they sold the coloring separately, in a small packet, and the user could mix it in.
My takeaway thought from the article was that "pre-sliced" != "long-life"

I'd always assumed that pre-sliced came along after long-life/'functional' bread came along. Quite appreciated the fact that the pre-slicing originally had an impact on it going stale (but then this opens up the question around why slicing was considered a chore.. few seconds with a decent knife?)
> I would _highly_ advise against using any synthetic cannabinoids.

Any specific reasons to say this? Medical knowledge, personal experience or other?

I did have one experience with a synthetic cannabinoid and it was very bad indeed, took me days to recover. FYI. I'd not rule out trying it again but with great care. Though now it's illegal in the UK, so prob won't happen.
I have a different take. It's not that you can't do normal HTML as fast as AMP. It's that by preventing a lot of the things that make "normal" sites slow, it changes the whole conversation at publishing companies.

For example, here is an example conversation at a web company before AMP (and this is not really hypothetical - I had more than a few conversations like this):

Marketers: We need you to add these 623 tracking pixels from these 300 ad networks to the page.

Developers: But that will kill page performance!

Marketers: But you guys are smart, make it work!

And after AMP:

Marketers: We need you to add these 623 tracking pixels from these 300 ad networks to the page.

Developers: Get bent. AMP doesn't allow that, and without AMP our SEO positioning will tank.

Marketers: Oh, OK.
Ask HN: In SF for a month, where can I meet fellow developers?
Hi HN!

I'm a software developer from Europe, and I'm currently on holiday for a full month in San Francisco. This is my first time in California.

I've heard so much about the big companies here and also the startup culture, so I would love to meet other developers working here!

Do you have any recommendations on meetups/events/bars/etc where I could meet fellow developers?

Thanks!
BBSes were central to my growth as a software developer. I was a teenager in the '90s and quickly became hooked on calling up BBSes.

I played the games on them and found out you could make money writing and selling them... so I made my own. I released them as shareware, as others before me had, and asked people to mail me checks to register them (i.e. remove ad screens). I soon got mail from people all over North America and the world asking for registration codes.

I wrote those games in C and C++ and were the first big projects I ever worked on. Looking back, the code was really poorly done, but it taught me a lot about managing work and basic programming fundamentals. I got better as a developer over time, but I cut my teeth on writing BBS games.
Operation Trent
Maybe.

Writing good software is a skill that isn't particularly language dependent. Most web devs don't.

A true polyglot is always going to be more valuable than someone who can only write websites.

a while back there was a scare that some vapes had lots of tiny metal particles in their vapor, which would be really really bad for you. Dunno what the resolution to that was, but it’s probably worth following up on.
I think a meta-dialect is already plenty, so we can do without postmodern features in the title above.
Yes but like I said: this layer does not exist, and to my knowledge nobody intend to create it. It would be a big amount of work too, compared to the pledge approach...
in my experience, often the decisions are being made not in the interest of cost savings, or efficiency, but following short term interests of the management.

as long as there is somebody to do the "work", they are fine.
Not analogs. The analogs can kill you via overdose. That's not happening here.
Tape certainly affects sound, in exactly this way. I don't think that I'll ever start buying cassette recordings, but I routinely use different tape-emulating plugins in my music production to get this particular type of distortion, and I don't think that there are better words to describe it.
Well, I guess if you tax autos at 100% of their value where most people can’t afford them, that helps.

"Complexity is inevitable" is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Maybe the article author is confusing data compression with dynamics compression [0]. The latter is a real problem with the terrible "loudness war" [1] going on for a long time, with many audio pieces (dynamics-)compressed to death. And in that regard, many albums are indeed better on vinyl: not because the format is better than modern digital formats... but because the vinyl version is often mastered separately, with much less dynamic compression than the digital versions. It's really sad that one has to buy the worse format to get the better mastering...

No, I think this is a fine metaphor. If an engineer can understand a problem, identify a solution, and then implement, document, deploy, and support it in production for project after project, it’s completely legit to say they’re good engineers, and are not necessarily improving in any relevant way.

Similarly, a bus driver that consistent drives without causing accidents, doesn’t spill the passengers’ coffee, doesn’t burn too much gas or wear out the breaks too quickly is a good driver.

What you say to either of these people is “Great job, we love you, keep doing what you’re doing!”

Encouraging growth and improvement as an end in itself can be destructive: How many projects amount to rewriting something that works in some new language or framework because an engineer wants to pad their resume or just learn something new?

Craig Mod recently wrote Fast Software, the Best Software; I’m hoping he follows that up with Software That Already Exists and Works Fine Using an Unsexy Suite of Technologies, Software that Doesn’t Need to Be Rewritten.

This actually look more approachable than other proof systems I've looked at. The included proof seems understandable though I'm not sure how all steps are deterministic, how they're sufficient to fully make the proof.

That said, there's a note at the bottom of the page saying: "(last modification 2002-01-29)" so perhaps "2002" would be a more appropriate date here? The Mizar system itself seems like it's being maintained presently, according to its website. http://www.mizar.org/
