They came back fast by bribing OEMs to only sell Intel and were fined for it by the EU because it was an antitrust violation. It's unlikely they can repeat that.
No, it's not fair. I'm a layman, not a doctor.

This needless critique of the meaning of the word "cure" doesn't really advance our discussion much except to allow a definition of the word that supposes "laymen" like me think the net gain from an iron lung "cures" polio.
I think the only redeeming feature of markdown is that its formatting markup mimics plain text formatting coventions. In that sense it’s hard to agree that this is an alternative to markdown. It lacks the one quality markdown has that otherwise more complete document formats lack, really its only distinguishing feature.
Harley: lights change, dump clutch.

ZX9: lights change, rev engine, dump clutch.

None we're talking about general around-time riding, waiting for the lights to change here. The point is big torque means less delay between seeing the signals change and starting to move.

No disagreement that if the ZX9 is sitting on the line with the revs already in hand that it's going to be away first.
I've read Dune itself at least a dozen times, and the series as a whole three or four times, so maybe I'm just "Dune-blind", but I've gone over the second paragraph three times now and I can't see a spoiler. I think the synopsis on Amazon has more in the way of spoilers, tbh.

There is double standard favoring HN. If Reddit or Facebook didn't allow you to delete your account or comments and said it wanted to maintain a permanent record of you, they would get eviscerated.

There are many questions going back on HN itself and the answer had always been no, but from what I understand they have renamed a few accounts. But it isn't something that they will apparently do for everybody.
I hate to nitpick, but a Prius isn't a great comparison since they have pretty good drag coefficients.
> How often have you wanted to share an interesting paragraph from an article and been unable to link to it?

Never? If I’m linking something and I want to show some text copied from the article, I copy and paste it. Texts and email and HN and Facebook all support this...where are you sharing things outside of Twitter where this isn’t possible to do?

This is tricky - it's up to the site basically. For single site websites (hacker news, let's say) then yeah - samesite should be enabled to prevent this.

For a large IDP like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc, you start to want* logout via cross-site requests, but it needs to be protected against DoS attacks like the link provided. So you need some other proof that the requesting site has a session - a session ID, an ID token, a unique identifier for one of the users in session (this is the least bulletproof one).

* well, standards wise at least. Google doesn't document a logout url anymore.

Parse.ly | Frontend Engineer | Remote | Full-Time | https://parse.ly

What's Parse.ly? A real-time content measurement layer for the entire web.

Parse.ly is trusted by over 400 enterprises, used by over 4,000 high-traffic websites, and has tens of thousands of active user seats for its core analytics product.

We are an established, but quickly-growing, company with a 20+ person product team and millions of dollars in revenue.

Our beautiful dashboards visualize data flowing from over 1 billion monthly unique devices. You can see a recent example of a fun data visualization product we made from this data at https://currents.parsely.com. (Make sure you are not using an ad-blocker when checking it out.)

The mission of our lean & fully distributed team is described here:

https://blog.parse.ly/post/4736/mission/?utm_campaign=hn_sep...

We happily skip commutes by working out of our ergonomic home offices. Here's a photograph of mine running two full-screen Parse.ly dashboards on my monitors:

https://flic.kr/p/v1NZ73

As a frontend engineer, you'll join the small sub-team that owns the core experience of Parse.ly’s customer-facing SaaS dashboard. You'll have an opportunity to ship new features to customers -- working in JavaScript/ES, HTML5, CSS3, Python3, and some other great technologies.

For this role, you’ll need to be strong in JavaScript; have a keen sense of good design; have experience with web/mobile frameworks; and enjoy D3.js.

For bonus points, you'd develop some comfort level implementing native iOS or Android applications.

In short, we're looking for people who enjoy crafting beautiful user experiences & products, and who also enjoy shipping to customers regularly.

You need to be technical enough to do real Python/Django programming for our middle tier HTTP/JSON service; to do real D3.js visualizations by hand in JavaScript; to navigate JS frameworks like AngularJS & ReactJS, including 10,000+ LOC codebases; to evaluate open source projects pragmatically; and to develop some experience with native mobile development.

Join us to build the world's best content analytics dashboard. Apply at work@parsely.com with a couple paras describing why you're interested, a link to any portfolio/code you think is relevant, and/or your resume or LinkedIn profile.

Make sure to mention HN and the "Frontend Engineer" role. Also, please list your years of frontend engineering experience, current timezone/location, and daily working hours (e.g. 10am-6pm ET). Note that though we can hire from most locations, we will prioritize those near US_Eastern, US_Central, and US_Mountain timezones, due to our current team working hours.
Not quite true. The default behavior changes, and new syntax is added allowing users to specify their desired behavior, but if the sub-query in the CTE does certain things, it will still be materialized instead, regardless.

That is: they mostly aren't a fence any more, but can be when you want them to, and sometimes still must be.
You're right, that's ambiguous at best. Is it a decline in "bad" fire or "good" fire or both or something else?
I don't think that your examples for asciidoc are quite correct.

Ordered lists do not need ".Ordered" to begin (https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference... scroll down a little). You don't need the leading spaces for sublists either.

I'll grant you that the period is a little more annoying than the numbers, but it's honestly not a big deal, and also means that long lists (longer than 10 elements) have consistent spacing.

For headers, you don't need those different formats (https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference...). It's just equal signs the whole way.

Harry Potter Wizards Unite Grossed $12M in Its First Month
Anecdotally I felt that the 'become dumb to fight the boredom' mentality spills quite easily into life outside of work if you let it too. If I had a challenging day, I'd go home and study or build something - I'd keep the productive 'train' going. If I had a dull day, which was most days after the first 3 months getting to grips with the job, I'd go home and blank out watching a TV show or playing a video game. I couldn't break out of the 'dumb' mind-set after spending 8 hours in it.

Regretfully I've lost weeks and months to this mindless monotony over the last year. Thankfully Friday is my last day, and I start a post-graduate course in October which should be a splash of cold water for my brain. In short, I'm very much in support of your second point.

If only there was some way to store contacts without uploading them..

Has it really come to this? If you open your phone now you usually have two offline options: to store contacts on the SIM card and to store them on the phone.

If you want backups and comfort without betraying your contacts you run your own nextcloud instance and store them automatically on there.
Some CS Go players believe (and maybe is true) that having high FPSes live around 300 give them an advantage so they will try to make the FPS number as large as possible. Such a gamer will probably pay a ton more money to get from 2500 FPS to 300 FPS. They would also have monitor and mouse+ keyboards with low latency.

So from my reading this "elite/full time" gamers will still buy an expensive CPU if they get 10 extra frames (but forget that in real life your PC has more programs running in background so reality may not match the benchmarks)
Sure, I will engage. I believe there is a minority of population for whom diversity is really important. Based on my first hand experience, I am seeing that most of the people are simply apathetic to it, even within senior management. This manifests externally (eg. lack of serious diversity enhancing proposals, movement of diversity stats over the last four years, keeping low wage workers as contractors instead of full-time employees etc). Depending on how senior you are, you can also see this internally where diversity is given mere lip service (similar to other issues like technical debt or accessibility), but no real sticks and carrots are used (eg. making diversity efforts a part of performance reviews).

If you wonder whether your company leadership is serious about diversity, check if it matches its actions with its words. Mine doesn't!

Did you forget to figure in the crank length? 180lbs at 6" is 90 foot-lbs of torque.
Rather than making armchair dismissals, consider looking at the paper and its citations which discuss the statistical methods used. From a cursory glance, it looks like they use a standard model of how genes affect traits, which uses O(N) parameters for N genes, so the "curse of dimensionality" would not apply.

It’s a little rich to expect any serious conversation when our society generally holds genocidal war criminals like Kissinger and Stacey Abrams in high esteem. And really, I could write pages more of American crimes that are generally seen as the cost of running an empire by mainstream media and politicians, and so could you. That doesn’t mean you need to agree with it.
For more perspective, that’s about what a really fast motorcycle puts out these days, e.g. H2 SX. That’s a whole different ballgame of power-to-weight. Not many are pushing 200, but there are lots in the 150 to 180 range, stock. Heck, even some of the midsize (read, small and under 450lb) are knocking on the bottom end of that range with displacements well under 1l.
Indeed it isn't deleted from backups. And according to [1] it doesn't have to be. In the company I work for it's handled the way that we have a list of subjects (their id in database) who requested deletion and after restoring any backup the subjects' data from the list is deleted again.

I didn’t see it mentioned in the study but it’s interesting that from what I know, the current clinical approach is the exact opposite - many patients on chemo are given appetite-inducing drugs and Ensure shakes as the oncologists are very concerned that the patient not lose any weight

I've never had a gym membership so I can't tell you what results I would have with that. However, I did once achieve 100 lbs of weight loss over 18 months where my primary exercise was walking.
How is it not practical? We have race tracks in my area, so if I owned one of these, I'd get a ton of use out of it destroying other people on the track. That's pretty practical from my perspective.

It's not going to make my commute any faster, but that's not the only use for cars.

Valid point, although a few considerations:

1. generally speaking, kernel version increases don't translate to performance improvements (example: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux-50...)

2. the Dell 840 are latest generation servers (https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/poweredge-rack-servers/...), so I doubt that they're not optimized to be competitive with latest operating systems). after all, this is a real-world machine one buys, so it's supposed to be highly performing.

All in all, the performance improvement seems to be proportional to the single thread performance improvement (however small) componded by the higher core count.

However of course, it can't be excluded that the difference is at least partially caused by the different setup.

> Can people truly not comprehend how downvoting a post to -20 (or more) is perceived by the author of that post?

No, Stack Overflow high-rank users certainly do not. (A current community moderator literally said "Voting is not a friendly or unfriendly activity.") I've too suggested that the UI should be changed to be less abrasive and that high-rank people should be more accountable for their actions and been downvoted for that.

It's worth noting that this phenomenon of lack of empathy exists mostly in Stack Overflow, much less so in smaller communities where people don't generally have that much rank. At least that's what I saw with my personal empirical observation of Arduino SE. Not to mention the high-rank users loathe the welcoming initiative SO made, because god forbid they can't be snarky asses without getting flagged any more.
Regarding the piercing beeps - I popped open the case on mine and put a piece of tape over the piezo buzzer speaker, which brought the volume down to just the right level.
The use of meta-communication makes it easier in my experience. It feels very cumbersome and artificial. But when laying out the central thesis, before the contextualization, you describe the content and (sub)conclusions of the different parts of the paper.

My favourite lecture always said there must be no surprises in a research paper. You have to spoil the surprising bits from the get go, and it is better to repeat yourself than surprising anyone.

edit: If I recalled correctly she said that everything of substance in a paper should be touched upon at least four times. One in the abstract, another in the the introductory parts of the paper, again where the actual substance is (results, methods, conclusions, etc.), and finally in concluding remarks.

And worth noting, it helps in conjunction with chemo
They talk about that here:

> However, patients with severe weight loss, sarcopenia, cachexia or malnutrition are probably not good candidates for a STF intervention [27, 28]. Recent guidelines recommend to increase protein and fat consumption in patients with cachexia [29, 30]. Thus, STF may be particularly useful for relatively fit patients treated with (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy.

Very sparse on details. Artifacts in Texas also point to possibly 15500 years ago. A northern origin might put Idaho even earlier. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21436451)

That said, I'm always extra cautious with claims out of Idaho and Utah given the density of people with very high desire to find ancient civilization. Eg the ongoing search and occasional "Discovery" of Nephilim Giants.
Pass Culture: An open source app
One thing that always bothered me about SO was that it shows who answered and their score. It should display answers without the user until an answer is accepted.

There’s been many cases where a high score user answers, gets a lot of upvotes cos people are like “oh his score is 30k so he must be right” yet the answer is not good or incorrect. And there is a better more correct answer by someone with a Low score who get few votes.

Voting should be unbiased and be based on the answer. Not the person who answered.
As an econ major, I can't imagine why anyone would want to learn to write like an economist. There are notable exceptions, but in general economists and particularly modern economists are dreadfully dull writers with a reluctance to properly contextualise their claims and a penchant for letting the algebra do 90% of the work of the paper...
