Note that according to https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/05/150520193831.h... , which describes a study in The Lancet, "cold weather kills more than 20 times as many people as hot weather". So it kind of makes you wonder if this is something like the trolley problem - if raising the temperature sacrifices 1,500 lives to save 30,000, is it worth it?
I'm not the OP, but I sent you an email anyway, if that's okay.

Or you could just leave things at their defaults and stop messing with native chrome and UI elements. Now that you've styled it "unobtrusively" for Windows, that's one UI element that's completely inconsistent with the rest of the OS, and for what purpose? Does a usable user interface element actually need to be a tiny capsule because that's what Apple does?
Tesla’s SolarCity gamble has gone wrong
I created an ansible role that does this for me:

https://github.com/sumdog/bee2/blob/master/ansible/roles/doc...

It creates client certs and copies them locally too, so I can connect to Docker remotely over a VPN. Still this doesn't solve the original problem I talked about. It's not about securely connecting to the daemon. Even if you connect securely, you still essentially have root access on the host machine.

I've considered writing a proxy that restricts what commands can be forwarded on to the Docker host socket (e.g. allowing for container IPs x,y and z to restart containers, but not to create new ones or pull images). There doesn't seem to be fine grained security or roles built into the docker daemon itself.

Running docker in a docker container would give you a throw-away docker to use for things like Jenkins, Gitlab-CI, and other build tools without giving it access directly to root on the host.
I get the overall idea why they make sense. But the fact that the author does not address GPU acceleration either means that she's not thought about that, or that she thinks its implementation is trivial.

Either way, I would need a deeper dive along those lines to be convinced of that the argument has real-world merit, and can actually be implemented in practice.

FWIW my estimate is that 90% of production training loads in the wild are done on GPU. Please correct me if my assumption is wrong.
Spying is part of life. We do it, they do it, everybody foes it.

Not sure how big an impact that is. There aren't many contractors moving into the area like tech workers. Most of them are locals who have lived here for decades, so either have a rent controlled place or bought a home when prices were more reasonable.
The problem is this reduces herd immunity and radically increases risk to people who for medical reasons are at high risk already and can't have vaccines for one reason or another.
Object Oriented in Smalltalk is absolutely beautiful.

What gets called Object Oriented in C++ and Java is decidedly not.

Aspect oriented programming as used in Spring is a nightmare. Maybe it's beautiful in some other implementations?
My own nitpick is that 'humanity' is the condition of being humane — and a condition has neither ancestors nor skulls. The correct phrase IMHO would have been 'the skull of man's ancestor' or 'the skull of mankind's ancestor.' Or if one just really really wants to be So Woke It Hurts™ I suppose one could go for 'the skulls of the earliest human ancestor' or somesuch.
I like macOS/iOS's hidden scrollbars personally, but I agree with you about not wanting pages to be able to override scrollbar behavior in any manner. The way my scrollbars work is perfectly fine and, more importantly, predictable, and I don't need web pages changing that on their creators' masturbatory whims.

Too bad Google once again leads the way of being a prominent example of a bad idea with its custom scroll bars on many of its properties.
I'm really sorry to hear how hard this is for you. It is not normal for a job to be like this, and you deserve better. Don't give up in your job search, and please take care of yourself. Even if you can find anything else to pay the bills to get away, your sanity is not worth it.

I think its mostly just a "not a local" thing - I've met quite a few people in the Scottish mountains who had got quite a shock at weather conditions even though our hills are tiny compared to the Alps or elsewhere.

A 1000m hill can't be dangerous, right?
To be fair the post also says, correctly, that what's better for the environment is also using the phone that you already have. IE keeping it longer.

I have a couple of templates. I use a couple of fashion basics.

1. If belt then match with shoe.

2. Use 2 to 3 different colors match, preferably: one main/front, one alternate/background and one terriary/accentuation color.

3. Dress to a stereotype. I dress a bit /fancy (e.g. dress shoes and buttoned shirt)

But most days I don’t care, and dress for comfort, lol.
Who said? K&R is pre ANSI C, so pre any standardization.

The concept of the C standard library post-dates ANSI C, so to say that they "changed" the language in that they more closely documented the behavior of the language and the standard library means that, for all intents and purposes, the standard library is part of the language.

Which is exactly the point you are making about FORTRAN and PL/1. That they have standardized functions that perform in a documented manner and so can therefore be optimized by the compiler.

That C compilers understand the defined behavior of strcpy et al means that they are allowed to optimize the implementation.
Maybe we should bring the baseline in high schools up? Maybe people should leave high school more prepared?

Otherwise, you'll just be saying the same thing about the same students after college: they're unprepared.

No. Time box your time to get prepared, and do it.

Also, there is no such thing as free. Every year costs a year of your life, possibly disrupting your chances to have biological children.
Acikill Capsule
Acidity Cure-Easy and Effective Herbal Treatments

If you are someone who loves easting a lot of tasty foods without caring for your acidic stomach then it is important to make sure that you get some good medicines that help to get rid of the problem of acidity. It is also important to make sure that it is made from herbal supplements that would not lead to any sort of side effects at all. So, you have to put your best foot forward to ensure that you try to know the effectiveness of the capsule or medicine that you try to get for you. For this, you need to ensure that you try to look forward to get Acikill Herbal capsules that help to reduce stomach acid in the best way.
Not only that, the money saved in the short term (those 4 years without a rent increase) can be allocated however the tenant chooses. It can be frivolous spending, or the tenant can choose to turn it into long-term investments for compounding effect. I love being a tenant in these scenarios.

I think people that are arguing bigger rent increases that happen less often are bad are assuming tenants are stretching their housing budget to the max and won't be able to afford the large hikes. In which case they wouldn't have been able to afford it with smaller increases either.
> On Windows 10, a similar preference exists in Settings → Display → Simplify and personalize Windows. Unfortunately even with this preference checked, it had no effect on scrollbar behavior in Firefox, Chrome, in Internet Explorer and Edge—whether Chromium or EdgeHTML based.

So either this option isn't exposed to applications or browsers (including MS' own) aren't making use of it. Either way this is an issue that I'd like to see resolved.
It's hardly ever a cabal or some group of elites conspiring in a smoke filled room. Landlords in general know that people are clamoring for something to be done about housing costs, most of them know that easing supply restrictions would be more effective in actually lowering rents than rent control, so they each on average fight hard against the actual solution and less hard against the ineffective one. Then the ineffective one is the one that passes.

It's the sort of false compromise that happens in politics all the time. Instead of solving the problem, you enact some alleged solution that really does nothing or makes the problem worse, but then politicians get to go tell the voters that they've done something. Then, when it doesn't work, they get to go back and pass another ineffective bill to "solve" it again in the next election cycle, meanwhile we get another four years of young people not being able to afford housing.
Well I guess the antivaxers will be eradicated before the diseases.
Not only that, but your tight loop that takes up most of the execution time might have fewer instructions, whereas the rest of the program might have more, making the overall total higher but "instructions per time spent in function" lower.
What of the OEM specs of 10cm accuracy, only 31mA during transmission, 64mA in receive --which is usually not battery powered-- and its claims of months-to-years battery life using a coin cell? Did you overlook this or are you testifying anecdotally oR about your direct experience?
I'm not the one who said "The research shows". The status quo is the 4 year degree. If you think that your 9 month degree is better, the burden of proof is on you to prove that it is.
Ah yeah true, looked at the wrong part of a man page.

Despite the name, the National Merit Scholarship program is a private entity affiliated with Northwestern University.

It isn't official in any way; it is simply a scholarship for students with high scores on a particular test.

The only effect that it 'going away' would have, would be to discourage intelligent students from attending colleges they otherwise could not afford.
There is a dogmatic belief that 'higher education' some some panacea around these parts.

I personally think all grades across all levels of education should be pass/fail. This would give everyone a fair chance at competing, and job interviews would be based on your portfolio of work (or internships, etc), rather than HR gate-keeping of GPAs. Oh, you had to work in school so you got a couple C's in stupid-filler-class, guess you're not good enough to work for us?

We need to start at the grass-level and remove Bachelors degrees as a credentialing requirement for as many positions as we can. Why should one have a Bachelors degree to become a CPA? Why can't you just attend a CPA trade school, or self-study? It's gate-keeping by the academic class.
Yes it's one example. Though that ORD-DEL flight seems to be operated directly now

To be more exact (if not pedantic) the 5th freedom would apply if Air India could sell tickets and take passengers only for the ORD-FRA and FRA-ORD legs and Frankfurt is not merely a fuel stop.
You are using the word "bad" equivocally. Bad as in "bad for your health" is one thing (no problem with that), bad as in "eating ice cream is morally bad" is quite another. What would the claim that eating ice is morally bad even mean?

All I'm suggesting is that we take care in our language and be up-front about subjectivity rather than mask it with objective-sounding reifications. This isn't an attack on morality nor its importance, rather it is an acknowledgment of the fact that such judgments are ultimately based on what we as individuals or as a society find acceptable or unacceptable (i.e., like or dislike). It is perfectly possible to have a strong sense of ethics without claiming that one's ethics are somehow objectively or empirically "true".
Dark Mode for Slack
I get that this comes from a good place, but unless you have a lot of trust with your team then you might get a lot who will lie.

If I didn't trust my lead to not potentially think less of me (consciously or not), or even worse, to use my answer against me somehow (toxic environment) ... then I definitely would answer "2 or 3" even if I was a 5.
> Maybe if the source countries of the tourists could realize that if they liberalized their own country, their citizens wouldn’t dream of leaving so much just to walk around high.

Are you implying that no tourists visit Amsterdam from such liberal places, or that the only reason people go to Amsterdam is for drug tourism? Or something else?

The natural framework of relevance is more to do with housing as a good or service than with land.
Another moron feeding into the liberal mentality. Trying to make American unsafe via emotions and not on facts. When do criminals obey laws? Why does CA have such strict gun laws, but people still get killed. Why are so many killed in Detroit everyday by handguns but MSM/liberals/Democrat's dont care. More guns laws dont do anything but impead law abiding citizens.. Just look at the past shootings.. People will get around the laws todo whatever they want to do. How do you stop a bad guy with a gun? With a good guy with a gun.

Not a single NRA member has done any of these mass shootings, but they are first to be blamed for it. None of these people think about our history, or how rural American use guns daily to defend the farm from animals, and crazy people. What part of the 2nd amendment do you not understand.

I have a personal blog and about 80-90% of all comments to my posts are these.

In the beginning I just deleted them when I saw them, but then I had to turn on moderation.
The (well-intentioned) mistake you're making is assuming US officials' top priority is the greater interests of America, rather than their own personal interests.
You could just as easily ask what the US gets out of the special relationship with Saudi Arabia, a country ruled by murderous tyrants, and the country of origin of the majority of the 9/11 highjackers.

In the cases of both Israeli lobby influence and Saudi royal's influence, the answer is money and power. Our members of congress are very easily influenced by "donations", and those two groups happen to be particularly wealthy.

On the flip side, the Mossad and many other intelligence groups are particularly good at getting blackmail material on politicians. If you don't play ball and you get in their way, they have the ability to ruin your career as well.

In my opinion, I would say the turning point where the US started to prioritize Israel as an ally was after the Suez Crisis. "In October 1965 Eisenhower told Jewish fundraiser and Republican party supporter Max M. Fisher that he greatly regretted forcing Israel to withdraw from the Sinai peninsula; Vice-President Nixon recalled that Eisenhower expressed the same view to him on several occasions." [Alteras, Isaac (1993). Eisenhower and Israel: U.S.-Israeli Relations, 1953-1960].

After Eisenhower's presidency, JFK further strengthened this alliance:

"As president, Kennedy initiated the creation of security ties with Israel, and he is credited as the founder of the US-Israeli military alliance, which would be continued under subsequent presidents. Kennedy ended the arms embargo that the Eisenhower and Truman administrations had enforced on Israel. Describing the protection of Israel as a moral and national commitment, he was the first to introduce the concept of a "special relationship" (as he described it to Golda Meir) between the US and Israel.[207]"

One exception was when JFK resisted Israel's efforts to develop nuclear weapons, which they felt was crucial in their survival as a country. "In a May 1963 letter to Ben-Gurion, Kennedy wrote that he was skeptical and stated that American support to Israel could be in jeopardy if reliable information on the Israeli nuclear program was not forthcoming, Ben-Gurion repeated previous reassurances that Dimona was being developed for peaceful purposes." You'll note that he was assassinated only months later. Not to get all conspiracy theory, but I've always felt the timing was a bit suspect.

Long story short, the US as a nation may not get much benefit from the relationship, but the individual politicians do. Until we get rid of the concept of lobbies, PACs, and require all campaigns to be tax-funded, politicians will continue to serve the countries and groups that pay them, not the American populace.

Yup, some conversations you’re just not allowed to have. Same with discussing the degree to which humans are contributing to climate change.
My goodness! I'm positive the poster wrote something about talking to HR and they said others complained too but nothing ever changes. Did he edit his post, or am I hallucinating?
Another thing to consider is that rent control can depress interest in building more housing units. Why build if you won't be able to make the profit you'd expect due to price controls? More generally, this is an effect of price controls, especially those that can't easily be worked around.
They can and they do book ORD-FRA/FRA-ORD. My family has flown this route before.

Based on past experiences, I wonder if you had a daughter would they have an equal amount of struggle. I'm guessing there would still be zip code discrimination but it wouldn't be as large.
Heck, cut right to the chase and ask how occasional high peak summer temperatures kill people and what to do about it. An old lady keeling over in an apartment isn't helped a bit by internet climate change wars.

Given the super low price of smaller window A/C units, you'd think they'd install a few more of those, maybe it's impractical for some reason. Looking at a chart showing summer highs in Paris since 1900, it would be interesting to look at a newspaper from 1948 and see what happened (the chart shows a roughly 1 C upwards change since 1900 on average, but the last couple of years are outliers similar to a few earlier heatwaves).

I've always wondered what would happen if the power went off for a day or two in Phoenix in August.

Oh really? I didnt realize it was the petroleum companies who forced people to buy petroleum and not the fact that fossil fuel based transit and energy is technologically superior and easier than any alternative.
There’s no reason I can see to assume we’ve discovered even 1% of the elements out there... we’re also just seeing a trace of something that was there hundreds of years ago right? We’ve never even gone out there to see if our assumption that only water cause this kind of reflected light is even correct.
Some schools give generic credits but still require freshman students to take the "core" classes there. I'm pretty sure (it's been a few years) I got 6 credit hours towards graduation but still had to take Calc I and Freshman English. I did avoid having to take college level Spanish but I don't think I got any credit hours for it.
TLDR: They are still baffled.

The article only refers to repeating FBR-s but that's a known things for years now.
> less like an irc channel

How many IRC channels have you hung out in? Every channel I've ever been in with any sort of community has stuff like this pop up pretty regularly (things that may be "off-topic" by some definition, but are interesting, and spark some interesting conversation).

Channels where there are hard and fast rules about keeping the discussion strictly "on-topic" don't tend to be channels I hang out in. The same would be true for HN.
I'm not sure what you mean by shortened distance between speech and action. I know it doesn't make it so legally, I suppose I should have said 'in my opinion, these are non-negotiable'. As far as why, I think that it's because this is what separates us from other countries. There's plenty of things the US has done wrong int he past, but the Bill of Rights isn't one of them.
Does any country _not_ sound like that? I'd like to go there.
Perhaps... I don't know. Thats why I asked.
I am the CTO of a semi-successful startup but I believe, this is actually my biggest cause of stress and depression. I have been a software developer for roughly 8 years so I am still learning a lot. I was able to scale the company to handle hundreds of thousands of photos a day but the second I hired a more senior developer I find myself feeling like an imposter. I am always second-guessing myself, how I name things, how I am organizing my code to the point where I really start to become unproductive. I worry that the more senior developer is judging me or something, even though he is pretty laid back. In my personal life, I am spread way too thin due to debt from medical bills and a growing family. I find it takes a toll on me physically, which ironically, leads to more medical bills. I feel like I am stuck at my current company and in my current position. I wish I could get back to just being a software developer without all of the CTO stuff. I always feel bad complaining about these things because they seem so first-world, but it is constantly on my mind. I am just waiting for the day we make an exit and I can do something else.
The policy solution is known -- ease restrictions on increasing the housing supply.

If you're asking how to get that passed, well, that's an education problem. You need people to understand why rent control is not a solution so that they are not willing to accept it over something that actually works.

It's not just imposter syndrome. Theres reasonable concern that a company doesn't want to have to deal with illness/someone that cant hack it. I personally wouldn't want to make myself an outlier with this question, so I too would answer 3.
I agree with the sentiment but the web is so ridiculously inconsistent already that drawing the line to styling scrollbars feels pointless to me.

This was your monthly "the web was a mistake, gopher should've won" propaganda message. You can now return to your 30MB React.js project.
Seems like the Mac-based designers were a bit too fixated on the issue of scrollbar appearance and this tech team had to figure out a workaround.

Speaking of web scrollbars: One of the many reasons I hate modal dialogs ('lightboxes') on webpages is that they mess up scrolling behavior. Sometimes they accidentally close themselves if you hit the scrollbar, sometimes something else happens...

Interestingly in mobile web design, having a scrollable box inside a document doesn't really work that great (in fact I am typing this on HN on my phone and the fact that this text input is too small for my comment & scrollable makes it tricky to read and edit.) So this forces us to think about other ways to make boxes expandable. One solution I've used is showing eg. 40px of the box then a button to expand it in place in the page, where it can be browsed using the document scrolling behavior, instead of showing a 200px height box with its own scrollbar.)
