So less than 5% of the registered vehicles in the US. Maybe plant based AI training could do more for the environment?

I've seen some posts on HN about plant based burgers being good for environment, bad for health. Not sure how true it is, but I'm going with evolution and staying on the meats.
That's the whole point of the story.

About me: Currently a self-employed Data/Machine Learning Engineer who enjoys data analysis, building machine learning models, and developing data pipelines. I spent several years as a Data Analyst at a startup, but in early 2017 I wanted a change of life, so I became self-employed. I have extensive experience implementing and contributing to the most recent version of TensorFlow (2.0), during both alpha and beta phases.

Looking for: Machine Learning, Data Engineer, or Jr. Data Scientist role.
If any title needs a "[year]" indicator then this one does. Still, weather that is too wet is almost as hard to farm with as weather that is too dry.

Except, there is a second-order effect that nearly swamps this first-order weather effect, with respect to farmers' profits. It isn't enough to judge the weather correctly and produce a bumper crop. One also needs other farmers to fail. It is impossible for all farmers in a given commodity to succeed. If they all have good production, the price will crater so much that most will struggle to pay the interest their loans. Just look at the markets for corn and soybeans. They've been too low for profits for years. That's why so much is in long-term storage, on the forlorn hope that prices will rise. This year all of the Missouri River flooding inspired unaffected farmers to plant more in order to take advantage of expected lower numbers. Only, they bulked up so much that production actually increased! Elevators are still full, outdoor storage is still slowly decomposing, and sensible politicians still threaten to shut off the ethanol tap.

It has been this way in North America for a long time; rural population has been dropping since 1890. Ag tech has continued to improve, and so capital has continued to eat farmers. This process may only be reversed by de-commodifying, which only works in limited numbers in particular markets. Some consumers will spend more for organic or higher quality or better-marketed ("genuine Angus", etc.). Most will not.
My Samsung S7 did this I think. Haven't seen it on another phone though.

Well, they are trying to slim down, so to speak, the gap between C and C++ for the sake of a safer interoperability between the languages and for the sake of safer and secure code.

If C could fix _Generic from C11 and make it behave more like a lightweight version of templates, then I could say we have a huge potential of having a safer version of what we currently have.
Nudity is haram.
I don't know if "all the modern languages facilities" was a goal of Rust from the start. It seemed like the initial goal was to be able to develop a web browser with memory safety.

"all the modern languages facilities" seems to be something that's come along more recently (last couple of years) as a result of a lot of non web browser developers taking an interest in the language.
Contrary to what someone else has said, this is my least favorite release of Go ever.

I'm salty about how the proxy, which is enabled by default, makes it so much more difficult to pull private modules by having to set environment variables on everyone's individual machines.

I've got an issue being discussed on GitHub about it https://github.com/golang/go/issues/33985
Ah I see, yeah, from where I come from "unsafe" has a bit more weight to it. I'd call what you describe "silently incorrect." Which is also quite bad, to be fair!
Using paracord for sleeving is a good idea. Could be useful in practical applications.
Ah, that makes more sense. I was imagining it as a routing thing rather than caching the packages.
Probably not, though tech industry employees do tend to wave around their "total compensation" numbers in a chest-thumping competition. I see that less as "greedy" though, and more as a mistaken proxy for personal value/competence/etc. The same thing seems to happen in the finance/banking industry. I suppose anywhere you gather very well compensated people in high concentrations it's going to happen. The actual money is only part of the phenomenon.
Personal recommendation, if you need to stay on windows and don't want GoLand - set it up to use wsl 'remotely' [0]. All the offline ability of a local environment, but with the software compatibility (and ecosystem) of linux. (That being said, GoLand has been great on both Windows and Mac for me - the only thing VSCode does that GoLand doesn't is remote dev, and that's supposedly coming soon™ [1])

> Why is this only a German thing.

I'd say that German is the sense of comfort towards nudity.

> There're nude beaches everywhere.

Well, islamic countries are very unlikely to have them.

When it comes to European countries, there are, however, some religions (ie. catholicism) are generally more conservative, and in countries with such beliefs, nudism/nudity is considered sort of "hippy", or strange in general.

Something I found really amusing is that in saunas in the north of Europe, "for hygienic reasons", people is invited to be naked. In the south, "for hygienic reasons", people is invited to keep clothes on.
I think your blog looks great. The color palette you are using for text is very pleasing.

“Literally Inception in Real Life”
I don't why this point is not emphasized more often. What this torrent of protests has done is destroying the very home of the protesters. Sure, some chinese interests are hurt. A lot of underground money is parked in HK real estates. But when all is said and done, the citizens of Hong Kong will bear majority of the cost.
So based on your analogy you are saying that it's true for most of German population? Good to know!
I agree. I recently purchased the Nokia 7.1 on eBay ($200) and it does everything I need in a phone and has nice build quality. I feel that there aren't really many applications that utilize the powerful hardware of modern flagships, so I don't see why I should pay the premium for it.
I think in practice it has become something closer to a better python than a better java.
In western Europe maybe, not in Asia for example
Thank you so much! This is lovely to hear. ^_^ I like it too.
> someone should make an app that makes it easy for restaurants and customers to have a relationship with each other

They already exist and they're installed by default. Maps to find a nearby restaurant, browser to look at the menu, dialer to place the order.
>the Tesla battery pack is very difficult to recycle.

Are you sure about this? Lead-acid batteries are highly recyclable, but lithium cells are straightforward to recycle, too. I know that Tesla has a recycling center set up at their gigafactory.
Yeah, I think it really comes down to the fact that the only way to have every detail on your system exactly the way you want it would take more time than you'll have in your life, so we make compromises.
Commercial software & community-driven open source software offer different sets of compromises
It's a subtle point, but I would describe "end to end" as covering the humans on both ends. Your WhatsApp client on your phone participates in the key regeneration and/or key update without user interaction. WhatsApp's default UI configuration doesn't notify anyone about key changes. Defaults matter, defaults for secure software matters extra. Nearly no one enables this notification feature.

And even if they did, the client helpfully sent old messages encrypted with the new key. Even when you are notified, you're notified after the fact.
Sure, there is overhead. But it is not immediately obvious whether or not GP was referring to those particular energy inefficiencies, or the relatively large heat capacity of water.

It is also not immediately obvious whether the losses when freezing ice would be less efficient than energy losses due to the heat produced by charging up a battery, and the leaking of charge. If you take all energy loss into account, the questions of efficiency can have counter-intuitive results[0].

Could be using lazy/more intelligent loading on mobile? 20MB isn't great on desktop, but it makes sense you could cope with that where you couldn't on a phone.
Consider that for many fields hiring out powerful airplanes flown by actual humans to drop pesticide is economical, would inform me that using pipes in the field is not as low-tech or as economical as you might expect.
Lumen5 | Backend Developer and Account Executive | Vancouver, BC | Fulltime, Onsite | https://lumen5.com

We're a startup (19 people so far) that is growing quickly! We're writing software that uses machine learning to automate the creative process of producing video content. We've found that what we're building is very attractive to marketing teams from lots of different organizations and we've got tons of interesting search, NLP, artificial intelligence, video rendering, and web scaling technical challenges. Right now, we're hiring:

Account Executive, Mid-Market: We are looking for an exceptional salesperson to focus on our enterprise opportunities. You would be one of the first hires in this role and have a chance to help shape the future of the sales department. https://lumen5.workable.com/j/674C3AE920

Backend Developer: We're working on some very interesting technical challenges using video and machine learning, which means we're hiring the brightest developers. Skills include python/django, docker/kubernetes, elasticsearch, postgres, and algorithm design. https://lumen5.workable.com/j/CA27ABED5A
Which patent officer reviewed and granted this?
Thank you! ^_^
Out of curiosity, technical question: do you use catalytic caps on the cells to recover water from the hydrogen outgassing?
I have MX Reds at work and while they don't have the 'click' that Blues have, when the keys bottom out it's still louder than a membrane keyboard. Fortuently, you can get cheap o-rings on Amazon designed to force the switch to bottom out before the key cap hits the floor of the keyboard or the switch. It's a remarkable improvement for especially quiet offices.
You are also contributing to global warming. It takes a energy to transfer this data all over the world. And poor people will will run out of their monthly phone data limit.
David Hasselhoff caused the unification of Germany, so everyone loves him :D

Sorry if this is offensive to some folks, but the folklore here is that David thinks he caused the reunification while everyone over here (that I know of) thinks he is a freak :)

Since this caused around -10 points until now I guess I offended somehow :) What I said is true for anyone I know, so I guess there's something I don't understand regarding the perception of "The Hoff", so please inform me :)
Hoping to be wrong, checked the data. It's been about a year for iOS 12 and Android Pie. According to the latest numbers, iOS 12 is at 84% [1] and Android Pie is at 27% [2].

I also don't think that waiting 3 years will push Pie percentage much higher. Android 6.0 is more popular than 8.0 and 7.0.

I don't envy Android devs... Can't imagine it's fun to develop apps when you have to target OSes released 4+ years ago because 21% of devices still run them. For iOS the "4+ years" number is way below 1%.

Milyli stands for “Make It Like You Like It.” It’s the guiding philosophy behind the custom solutions and innovative applications we build for legal professionals.

We are looking for a Back End Developer to join our services team- https://www.milyli.com/jobs-software-developer

Here is how one of our developers describes the project they are working on: We are currently working on migration projects from other eDiscovery systems into Relativity. On a project level, it's a lot of understanding the client's current workflow and solutions, and what they can get out of using Relativity instead. Architecturally, it's identifying all of the component parts of the system that is being used, figuring out what the best way to extract that data is (API calls vs direct SQL queries vs other creative solutions), and mapping that to Relativity structured data. We built a piece of software called Bridge that allows us to specify data in a specific contract format so that it will be imported into Relativity. I like that between making new tools for different data sources / scenarios, and maintaining/expanding upon Bridge, there's never a dull moment and I'm always learning new things from my peers.

Question your OEM. Google actually prefers the phones have a standard set of features but the OEMs want to differentiate.
I'd argue that OEM extended service plans are the real proxy, at least for a service call.

Look at Apple as an example, two years is the max service plan for an iOS device. That's the lifetime of a battery. For Dell/HP laptops, they will have 3 year warranties with up to 5 years of extended, but usually exclude the battery and often exclude the screen.
Being naked is nice but there are also negative freedoms that are quite important, although seemingly not as newsworthy.

Has to be said that Germans enjoy quite a few of those, like

* the freedom to not get bankrupt if they have a medical issue,

* not get murdered while at school,

* not be unable to afford rent and groceries unless working three minimal wage jobs (possibly four to afford health insurance),

* not being crippled by student debt if they choose to go to college and

* not get shot by police or imprisoned and forced into labor for existing while not white.
This is a mostly fluffy, speculation-heavy piece without much insight and certainly without any knowledge or understanding of auto insurance.

Here are some corrections:

- Tesla isn't the first auto manufacturer to offer their own insurance. Porsche does this already[1]. Perhaps others do as well.

- Tesla isn't using its vast array of driving data to rate policies because it legally can't. Auto insurance companies must have their underwriting methodology approved by each state government. Some states limit what you can use. In at least one state, you can't use much more than the number of miles driven per year.

- There's nothing groundbreaking about the idea of providing good customer service as an insurance company. Bad customer service can be cheaper, so companies like Geico actually offer bad customer service as a strategy. When an industry is as heavily regulated as (auto) insurance is, your major levers are all cost-related. Some companies (like Progressive and Allstate) try to retain high-quality, low-cost[2] customers, while other companies (like Geico) just take low-quality customers, deny their claims, and ride the churn.

2. Incidentally, this has created an opportunity for new insurance companies to undercut the old guard by offering better value for the large number of drivers who never get into accidents.
I imagine there's bandwidth limitations over bluetooth. That's why Android Auto (and I think also Apple Carplay?) use WiFi.

I had rsi as well, so bad I couldn't shake anyone's hand. I thought my wrist was broken. What fixed it for me was to drop the keyboard down onto my lap using a lapdesk. It took me forever to find this out, and there is research behind the ergonomics:

http://ergo.human.cornell.edu/ergoguide.html

In my opionion, it's worth a good read-through.
I also switched to an Evoluent vertical mouse and a Goldtouch split/angled keyboard w/o the numeric pad to minimize back-and-forth. Now I use lapdesk+apple magic keyboard+Evoluent vertical mouse, and don't really have any problems.

> What evidence is there that parents drove the use of technology in schools? From the beginning parents have been extremely skeptical about the use of technology and have always voiced concerns.

What are you basing those claims on? In particular, the claim that all parents share a single viewpoint and especially how you know that the administrators aren't responding to interest from a subset of parents who are enthusiastic.

The way I've generally heard this characterized is that things like smartboards or tablets are popular with donors & a subset of affluent parents who like visible cool things but not the basic support / dealing with poverty which actually matter for a lot of students. Want to guess which group is disproportionately represented in communications with school administrators and local politicians?

It was never granted, it's "Abandoned" (as of today!).

Great example of why Occam's Razor is so important. The poor guy probably was day dreaming or for some reason blacked out for a few minutes, but wow. This thing is quite the read.
Then what is empirically wrong with trio programming? If the pair programming wonks actually have data to show that it is a net benefit, then they surely must have evidence showing that 2 is a good maximum on return.

Like to this day, I have never seen any reproducible strong evidence provided that pair programming is beneficial. And I don't know if I would call the occasional ad-hoc (unstructured) "pairing" anything other than what a normal person would call it: "two people collaborating like normal fucking human beings."

But if there is evidence that 2 is better than 1, why is 3 or 4 not even better?

InvizBox 2 redefines what “privacy” routers can do
Go on Amazon - or go down to a Business Costco or whatever similar restaurant supply place (that sells to the public) is available in your area - and purchase a commercial microwave; Sharp or Amana are the ones most sold.

My wife and I got sick of our microwave always dying after a few years, plus having a ton of "features" we never used. Too many buttons, too much complexity, and too expensive to be buying year after year. So we went with a commercial 1000 watt microwave:

1. It has only a single knob to set the time limit in 15 second intervals - up to 6 minutes.

2. No turntable to break, clean, or wear out.

3. One cooking level - HIGH.

4. An interior that is super-easy to clean - just wipe it out, all surfaces are smooth and seamless.

It's only real downside is the fact that the light doesn't turn on when you open the oven door (it's only on when it is cooking).

Other than that, it's been a joy to use. It takes a bit of getting used to not having cooking levels, but other than that - it's not an issue. The trick is knowing that in a regular microwave, "cooking levels" are done in a "slow PWM" fashion - a duty cycle of the magnatron - so much turned on for so long, then off for a period. You can simulate that yourself if you have to, but we usually just thaw things in our fridge ahead of time (or put them in our sink or on the counter).

Not having a timer that can go more than 6 minutes also means you have to be paying attention if you are doing something long-term (cooking rice or something); just pull it out, stir it, pop it in for some more time. If you have to rotate something for even cooking, do that manually too.

Less functions, less parts, less junk to wear out, clean, or break. Win, win, win. Unfortunately, it wasn't cheap - but given we were replacing our microwave every 3-5 years, it'll pay for itself in a short amount of time.
Oh boy. This could be hours of fun down the rabbit hole.
