You are actually not alone.

You need to revisit new information because we forget things exponentially unless we remind ourselves. In psychology, such pattern is shown by the forgetting curve [0].

Similar to you, I was concerned once that I was forgetting a lot of new information about programming. Therefore I wrote an open source software to automate spaced repetition with minimal friction while coding [1]. Basically, you write down new information as you come across it, and you get a weekly digest email.

Everyday, try to write information down on a piece of paper or on your machine. The act of writing down the information in your own words alone could help you retain memory. The retention could be all the more improved when you continually revisit what you have written down. This habit has worked well in my case for the last 2-3 years. Hope it could work for you too.

Yes.

No, I think the EU - EAA would respond by enacting similarly sized tariffs on US products.
Why even provide office space to folks? Just let them work from home and you save a lot!

I always felt this was the fatal flaw in WeWork’s model. Once telecommuter culture has been established, companies realize they can just make their employees pay for their office space and deduct it.

For most things where you benefit from “going in to the office”, the benefit is reliant on having a set of people in the same place. If everyone is all over the country, what is the point of office space in the first place?
Is this different from / compatible with JSONResume?
I will think in this direction, thank you for putting some more arguments towards that!

My main concern with this direction is whether we should evaluate for language speaking skills. Second concern is cheating. Third concern, it's more difficult to build.

Allegedly? I think it's fine to try to defend people against allegations. Though they are better and worse ways to do it.

Some people like Greg Benford claimed the sex didn't happen. I think that's a better way to go about it. Say you were present at the time and provide counter-claim.

Now, there doesn't seem to be proof either way.
To be clear, can anyone assumedly become a "Settlement Class Member" simply by being an American citizen or having an SSN (and thus being affected by the breach?)

edit: Thanks for replies; the answer is "no". You can check if you were affected on the settlement homepage under "I would like to..."

I was not affected by the breach, so a letter from me would not matter.
Amazon has an API but it is severely rate-limited and has had some functionality cut to prevent such a thing.
Yeah, what I meant is that EU would respond as single economic block...
That seems like a very definitive description on why you are right and everyone who disagrees is wrong. Do you allow any room for interpretation here?
Facebook's ad revenue for 2018 was $55.8 billion from 2.7 billion MAU. That means each user is worth $20.67 per year. In reality, not all users are worth the same, and as an English speaker, you're probably worth at least double the average. So, figure $40 a year to remove ads from Facebook, not single digits. Now what about the other 10,000 websites you touch each month?
For a hobby and for learning it is absolutely fine. The critique is on businesses running that way fmeither since some developers want to drink the cool-aid on the job or since the company wants to be "attractive" riding the hype train. (How else could they attract the best developers? ;) )
This is really interesting; if you don't mind me asking, how long have you been together?

One point of tension that I can imagine if I keep going with this kind of dynamic long term is as follows:

We will likely want to spend some longer stretches of time together at some point. Not permanently, but I could imagine maybe living together for a week or so at a time. At that point I can imagine my partner not feeling truly comfortable at my place because it isn't "home". Have you run into this kind of thing? Do either of you care? Do both of your places feel comfortable enough to be "homey", or there any of that slightly uncomfortable sense of being a guest in someone else's house?
> but it misses the point of deconstruction to those who believe in it. The fundamental idea of poststructuralist (here it's called postmodernist) faith is that pretty much all statements are "power-structured" because language defines power thus there should be an effect where the only context which counts is power structure. And it means there's no objective truth, or at least it doesn't have any importance.

Ok, I was trying to stay polite, but I believe this stance is bullshit. No less than saying that sex is the only human motivator.

I believe that this kind of deconstruction has a role to play in society, as power and power structure exist and are often (partially ) corrupted. But claiming that this is some kind of universal explanation for societal structure is reprehensible.

My comment was trying to find a core of usefulness latent in this.
> Rape is always illegal.

- If person is 18 and sex is consensual it's not a rape.
- If person is 17y 354 days old it doesn't matter what the minor person acted like, because law treats it as a non-consensual sex, so it's statutory rape.

> So by your logic 14 and 1 days is ok?

If both persons involved are living in Serbia it is OK. Unusual thing nowadays and to many here (me included) not seen as something morally positive, but some minorities have a different customs than mainstream Serbian culture, so it's fully legal. Most of Europe has the age of consent at 16, which in my own eyes makes more appropriate age than 14, but law is what matters.

> That's exactly what Stallman did. He never messed with minors.

No one said he did. But he, completely uncalled for, defended someone who did - who broke the law in a very obvious way - and he did it by trying to put the blame on a victim, although her being a minor makes her behavior completely irrelevant from the legal point of view. And that sucks.
yes, but the response to those tariffs would be similar tariffs from whole of EAA, no?
Forgive my ignorance, but how is TravisCI on lifesupport? Is this because Idera aquired them?
I don't think it's necessarily an easy problem to fix. They have one of the world's largest logistics systems built around letting anyone use it to sell or buy, all while keeping one product page per unique item being exchanged. How do they easily filter out bad actors from such a massive system?

I must admit, I was playing around building something similar while learning Rust, just for the fun of it. Now I probably won’t finish that:)
Agreed, this is literally just a checkout page, it doesn’t describe what this is or why I’d buy it even. Why is this upvoted?
Only because IPv6 doesn't need NAT theoretically. In practice, most people are stuck using it because the router doesn't hand a public-facing IP to most clients. When building an application, you still need it.
I'm well aware of the problems people like antirez face from others who deem themselves the moral/language internet police, and it is definitely an ongoing problem, but none of this is limited to the tech community, and I'm not really convinced that situations like those are sufficiently comparable to what we see with Stallman here.

> And amazon is obviously jam packed with smart people, so what am I missing about their apparent lack of focus or execution on this commonly lamented problem?

I wonder this too. How does this problem track with other problems they're trying to solve, though? Is it commonly lamented just on Hacker News, or are they getting direct feedback from customers? Are their returns skyrocketing? I suspect it's more subtle and longtime power purchasers are starting to buy less and less, like me.

More and more people will start drawing lines like you just did, and I have done. Poop bags for my dog? Definitely Amazon -- it took me 15 seconds end to end on their website, on my phone [!] and were here the next day. No way for electronics, vitamins, or anything that will actually go into my or my family's body (or my dog's body, for that matter).
> Their integrated CICD is amazing.

My company switched to BitBucket in order to pinch pennies, and now I weep when I have to get Jenkins and BitBucket to play nice with each other or to do something. GitLab CI just works, is easily horizontally scalable without paying exorbitant prices for more "agents", etc... I miss GitLab...
You touched on an important point, mentors.

Someone who can spend 10-30 minutes per day with you, going over what you coded and giving tips and best practises saves A LOT of time.
Um, the FTC says otherwise.

> For consumers impacted by the Equifax breach, today’s settlement will make available up to $425 million for time and money they spent to protect themselves from potential threats of identity theft or addressing incidents of identity theft as a result of the breach.

https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2019/07/equif...

That consumer fund of $425 million was "supposed" to also cover protection from any potential incidents of identity theft. So, let's go with this pool then. Assuming there are 21,250 valid claims qualifying for the cap, is the settlement complete? There's no one left to compensate? I'd say clearly not. Are you willing to bet that only 0.01% of the breached credentials were misused? How did they even arrive at this number? Let's say we assume, it really is a number lower than that. With whatever's left, I'd be willing to bet, a significant number would not trust Equifax with monitoring anymore. Perhaps they even bought credit monitoring as a reaction to the breach. How do you compensate that? Which ever way you want to slice this, it's clearly insufficient.
> What rare materials would these be?

Every material is rare outside of gravity wells. Even plain steel, aluminium or magnesium cost >$1000/kg if you want them delivered to geostationary orbit. So this material would not be for earthbased construction, it would be for space factories, space-based solar microwave powerplants, spaceships etc.
kind of wish they had kept it a little more lightweight. been running v7.10.5 as a personal repo on a small-ish sized vps. went to upgrade/migrate to a newer version the other day and the recent versions crash out on the same host configuration. i eventually got it up and running but it was sluggish and nearly unusable.

sticking with v7.10.5 for now but i will probably switch to gogs or something similar soon.

You are eligible to apply for the program if you have accepted an offer at GitLab as a:

He resigned.

He was asked to resign because it's a good play for MIT, you don't have to defend against a wrongful termination suit if the person in question willingly resigns.

If he wanted to defend himself, he would have stayed and fought, let himself get fired, file a lawsuit.

But he resigned, willingly.
There are two things going on here. (Well, more, I'll focus on two.)

Legal drafting always leads to absurdities. It is not possible to draft laws that don't; the practical need for unambiguous rules combined with complex reality means there are always edge cases.

Illustrating this general fact with the highly specific case of old rich men screwing young, powerless kids is going to cause other people to wonder about why it seems like you're only interested arguing about legal absurdities in this specific context. After all, you could illustrate your point with, say, the catch 22s inherent in the modern debt peonage systems in the US, or how pro-bono plaintiffs are regularly abused for not following rules they have no access to see, or a nearly endless parade of other examples.

Let's just say that if defending rich old men screwing young kids is apparently your hill to die on, a lot of folks are going to be less focused on your nuanced legal argumentation.
It seems very flaky to me. We're currently migrating off Travis (probably to Azure pipelines) at my workplace.

How to Easily Reuse Components Across Projects and Repositories
Good article for me as someone who is entirely outside the news cycle about this.

Pretty insane that you loose your job just because you have the wrong opinions about something. I don't understand why not FSF and others simply stand behind him in events like these?

This is pretty ridiculous and I hate this PC-elite that is currently ruling tech. I don't care about your code of conduct or what your thoughts are about different words.

I just hope Stallman the best and that he should not back down to the kind of bullshit that's been thrown on him. That is simply letting them win.

Fuck everyone that has the "you said something that I do not like, now you must resign"-mentality.
I think both valuations are too high but there it is. Enterprise is hot right now and some people are anti-MS. Also, Gitlab allows on prem which is a huge issue for some orgs. Also, it seems that Gitlab's all remote teams have a much lower cost structure and will allow for easier profitability. I guess we'll see.

It does require a lot of energy to produce in the first instance though.
This is the sort of thing I've come to expect from Elon Musk, the plan that once you see it you think "oh...yeah. Of course." Tacking the removal fees to the end of contract is a little iffy to me, but overall, what. a. move.

This gives consumers who want a way to get into solar a low-cost, low-risk entry point where they'll probably break even, do a little better, or at least be somewhere in that neighborhood month to month. There is a $1,500 removal fee (which could be done for private contractors for less) but that's also kind of peanuts for anybody who's looked into solar and realized the massive up-front investment. I know that's why my house doesn't have solar.

For Tesla this gives them them the ability to ramp up production, have a huge testing base, and start lowering costs while raising quality. If costs get low enough and quality high enough they could push solar technology to the point that it makes sense for the average consumer to purchase off the shelf. Short of that they're getting a whole bunch of solar panels out there.

Talk about a win-win, this is amazing.

edit: I just woke up and kind of jumped the gun here, didn't even realize I was looking at the 'commercial solar' page.....but it's too late to delete this comment. I do think it's a really cool business model and it's also really cool that SunRun has been doing it, too.
If I'm invited to a private island by a billionaire and offered a prostitute, and she confirms that she's 18 or older and here of her own free will, well, I imagine most unattached people would have trouble saying no in those circumstances.

For me, it would be too much like romancing my nieces, so I doubt I would take up the offer. In 30 years, who knows.
>One might further suggest that said content is deliberate propaganda, designed to push people to the right, and that this is a central pillar of their strategy that isn't shared to the same degree or extreme by other political factions.

This is certainly part of it. I've literally watched Russian propaganda around the Syrian war featuring a "Canadian independant journalist". Yet overall this explanation strikes me as unsatisfying. From what I've heard from the researchers propaganda techniques have been less about promoting the right wing specifically and more about spreading social discord generally. The Russians had efforts to promote Jill Stein that were promoting left wing rather than right wing propaganda. I've never really bought that propaganda efforts weren't getting overwhelmed by the influence of regular users generally. It's possible but I haven't seen serious attempts to prove it.

>I don't imagine the people doing these jobs have much career mobility.

This is actually a more interesting criticism to me. Perhaps internet moderators are more drawn to far-right thought than others because of their life circumstances? This is a population that's lower income and tech savvy.

It's actually easier. Cheating can be discouraged via real-time chat sessions, while async communication like emails or essay-style discussions can be scored via an NLP library like spaCy. If a machine can understand and parse the candidate's writing, chances are it's valid English.
It's weird way to phrase it. It just means you pay Tesla for what their system generates on your property.

I guess the idea is that since it's your property you're the one generating energy, albeit with their equipment.
That is a straw man argument. I don’t have a cushy gig at MIT, but that doesn’t mean I am condemned to homelessness and poverty.

He was in two roles that were largely about PR and put him in positions of power over young women. I certainly am willing to condemn people to no longer holding positions of power they have demonstrated they will abuse, and if your job is as a figurehead a big part of that job is not being so gross people avoid the institution. He got fired because a significant part of his job was ensuring the fsf could raise funds and he was being bad at his job.
For better or worse, that's how societies work. They're composed of individuals who do things based on their own values.

Suppose you're an employer. Would you want to hire a neo-Nazi who has visible swastika and Hitler tattoos? Would you put this guy in front of your customers? Probably not; your business wouldn't do too well. So when you decline to hire such a person, you're exercising your freedom of association, but also helping to condemn the neo-Nazi to homelessness and poverty. In some countries, he might be able to get some social assistance so he doesn't turn to crime, but it'll probably still be poverty-level.

Societies aren't just a bunch of people all doing and saying whatever the heck they want. There's consequences to your actions and your speech. If people like you more, you get better jobs and do better socially. If people don't like you, then you become an outcast. This can be good or bad: if the overall attitude is something awful, such as the idea that some people should be enslaved, then you get a society where lots of people are horribly oppressed. If the overall attitude however is that oppression is bad, then people who promote oppression (like neo-Nazis) are punished by being ostracized, and ideas like that are made unpopular and kept from spreading too much.

My wonder is how large a company can get before the founder can no longer force strong culture.

The decision to favor their own products over others seems like a short-sighted goal to help an exec get a bonus rather than help their customers

I am wondering how they can handle short-sighted, highly-motivated individuals self-dealing rather than looking out for the company and its stated culture.
Even if that were true, putting that much importance on the personality of a single leader can't be healthy long-term for an organization.
> Estimated return of 8% to 12% per year. Higher if utility prices increase

The PPA kWh price is quite attractive, especially if you figure in year-over-year constant increase in places like CA (who do you think is actually paying those PG&E settlements?). What they don’t take into account is your ~$10 a month charge to be hooked into the grid.
I think we can extrapolate that to ourselves - or at least, I often do that to myself. I'm relatively wealthy thanks to having the luck of the thing I'm interested in and good at being in great demand. What moral right do I have to that relatively large share of wealth, and why am I allowed to choose how much to donate to charity, and which charities?

(That is not a rhetorical question, but a genuine moral dilemma.)
There seems to be a fundamental hypocrisy in a legal system that considers some material is so fundamentally corrupting that it must be illegal for people to possess or see it.

If this were truly the case, it should also be illegal to compel someone to look at this same material as part of their employment.
Most marketing is for necessities, to steer which brand you decide to buy, not to make you buy a category of product you wouldn't buy otherwise. You need soap, they just want it to be Dawn soap. You need laundry detergent, they just want it to be Tide detergent. Etc etc. You're not going to stop buying food, soap, medication, gas, etc so that you can direct that money to tipping websites instead.
Thanks for sharing. Best of luck with your plans and your future move. You're right that discussing this properly is key - I'm not totally against moving in together one day. I'd just really like for it to be a conscious choice on our part, one that is untainted by default cultural expectations and with living apart still being a perfectly valid choice in itself.
I see, I genuinely wasn't aware they has this offering, I only vaguely remember finding an instance they literally had prepared with tickets showcasing the Scrum workflow when I looking for a way to show Jira to a friend interested in becoming a software tester where I couldn't show the on premise instance we had in the company I worked in at the time.
> This stochastic process is a Gaussian process if for each t in R X_t has Gaussian distribution.

This is not quite strong enough. You need (X_t1, X_t2, ..., X_tn) to jointly have a multivariate Gaussian distribution for every finite (t1, ..., tn).
