Hope people will take from this that the money they spend on purchasing Silicon Valley products (as well as any really) can have a real effect on their lives. Latest example for me is supporting Brave, which can have a detrimental effect on my rights to choose whom I want to marry, if this homophobe can spend his money on anti choice initiatives in the future again. A good writeup about the consequences implied https://www.leafandcore.com/2016/09/03/brave-is-a-browser-th...
I've been charging $300/hour as my going rate for a number of years now, so yes, it still applies AFAICT. As another poster mentioned, getting to this level requires a mix of good salesmanship, references, and actual coding ability to back it up.
getting things like this to transfer well is not necessarily easy, it’s a major active area of research.

even if you somehow had a perfect physics model, there are problems like the fact that motors and joints behave differently as they wear down, etc.

it might be easier for wheeled vehicles — usually the examples of failure are complicated, error-prone things like bipedal walking, hands with lots of joints.

This is typically code for "doesn't respect my OS theme." I didn't like skinz in the past and that hasn't changed over the years, though the name has.

Good luck on an otherwise cool app however.
Kudos to your product!
I would worry about competition. If there are already well established players, you have market share to steal from them (but I’m guessing you’re aware of that).
> I think GQL from Neo4J has been around for quite a while before GraphQL.

Cypher has been, GQL has not.

GQL from Google has, but that's another problem with the (EDIT: naming of the) new GQL.
Isn't this article and the discussion precisely about the reason why costs for bandwidth haven't gone down? That is, the infrastructure providers are keeping the costs high because they can.

> But why preserve dairy when you can move the herd with you when you migrate?

Because it's valuable food. Are we agreed that these peoples would milk their animals (when possible) and try to consume the milk in some form?

If yes, then even fresh cheese is a lot easier to transport than milk. You warm the milk, add rennet, let it curdle, strain it off. You can drink the whey, or feed it to livestock. The remaining cheese curds are much less in mass, volume, and sloshiness than the original milk, so easier to handle and to snack on the following days.
There is a world of difference between not having a common and necessary feature and not having feature nobody else has neither. If project tries to establish itself as a serious competitor in a given field, communication is crucial. “We don’t have it but we’re working on it and softwares you currently use probably doesn’t have it” is way different message than “we miss something you probably use”.
Could it be Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics tracking phone usage? Is there an option to disable telemetry in settings?
Definitely not a novel point. Nor particularly accurate anymore as other commentators have pointed out.
As a side note, it would be nice if we could actually use the proper terms for things. "Pedophilia" is a sexual attraction, the term you are looking for is "child molestation".

Honestly, I think the overreaction to willing child sexual interaction does more harm to the child in many cases than the original acts (e.g. "victim" labelling, attacks against someone close to the child and removal from their life, being brainwashed into thinking something horrible happened to them until they believe it is horrible).
One side of "Born to Run" is the first-person story; another side is gonzo journalism / supposedly factual reporting.

How well does the reporting fact-check?

From "Born to Run":

"But what surprised Dr. Marti … was the fact that the most common variable among the casualties wasn't training surface, running speed, weekly mileage, or "competitive training motivation." It wasn't even body weight, or a history of previous injury: it was the price of the shoe." page 172

From Dr Marti's report:

"Occurrence of jogging injuries was independently associated with higher weekly mileage (P < 0.001), history of previous running injuries (P < 0.001), and competitive training motivation (P = 0.03)."

You will find that this machine can't even factor the number 15 properly, as it's not error corrected, or a general purpose quantum computer. FWIIW nobody has factored the number 15 using quantum algorithms using the Shor algorithm yet; only using the subset of gates they know produces the numbers 3 and 5.
Question from someone who only knows what is in the popular press:

I've read articles that debate the existence of any quantum computers. Are we past that now, or are there people out here that would question whether these are real quantum computers?
Standards happen when the time is right. Property graphs have been in the making and matured for the last 10+ years, driven by Neo4j, other vendors, and the community and are going to stay. It's a sign of success that the SQL standards committee recognized this development by starting the GQL project.
carbon taxes are regressive insofar as the poor spend a larger % of their income on fuels than the rich and this is often not negotiable - people can't choose to e.g. not commute half an hour to work when they don't have much disposable income to start with, whereas the rich can generally pay for whatever quantity they want to consume already.

so the point of the tax (reduce consumption) unfairly hits the poor.
Piracy is copyright infringement or license term violations.

Theft is a property crime. These are different things.

Those heavily invested in intellectual property rights laws would like to conflate them, but they are--and always will be--fundamentally different offenses.

And the industry propaganda is frankly ridiculous. Hell yes, I would download a car. But not if it came loaded up with malware, spyware, region-locking, force-fed content, and DRM schemes.

The propaganda likewise portrays piracy as stealing from the creators and artists, when, in fact, this has already occurred by reassigning the copyrights to a corporate entity that routinely employs "Hollywood accounting" and other assorted dirty accounting tricks to avoid paying the creative drivers behind a cultural artifact in a manner the public would consider reasonable.

Duplicating bits is in no way comparable to depriving someone of physical property and excluding them from their use of it. At worst, piracy undermines someone's economic profits, derived from the enjoyment of government-granted monopoly, which is supposed to promote the useful arts by securing to authors and inventors exclusive rights for a limited time.

It is natural for opinions to vary on whether a schema that routinely re-assigns those rights to an entity separate from the author or inventor, for a period extending well beyond their lifespan, is still conformant with the intent of the law, but no matter how hard you try to force it, copying is not stealing. Forcing that for PR purposes further undermines what little respect remains for copyright infringement as its own offense. You can't inflate respect for one law by poaching it from another.
I hoped huge popularity of adblock would do the same, without the need for regulation. No need for clickbait title when visitors are only a cost.

Remember Popcorn Time? When it worked, it was amazing. It has better UX than any regular content provider can provide because you don't even need sign in credentials or to enter a credit card.

These are required by building codes in my area, and I've wondered how effective they really are. It never occurred to me that water would cling to the side of the pipe. Some of the other trades suggested that it would make more sense to have them on horizontal runs, but that would probably be less effective.

Well obviously, none of this stuff is Netflix hosted.
Promises still run on "the main thread" so a CPU intensive task in a promise is still going to block things. You could use a promise if you delegated your CPU task to another process or some C code that did actual threading.

I believe you'd use Workers (WebWorkers?) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Workers to actually do it off the main thread entirely inside JS.

Ask HN: Full time contractor vs. employee, how much more expensive?
Anyone here have experience working as a full time contractor? In your experience, how much more expensive is it for you to be a contractor vs employee? Considering things like Insurance, self-employment taxes, etc etc.

I’m trying to figure out how much salary to ask for beyond what I normally would, do I can cover those extra expenses.
> And then there's the documentation which is like infinitely better than Linux's...

I am 100% unexpert in systems programming. I am not challenging this sentence.

When I look through Linux's source code, I read documentation files like Documentation/x86/exception-tables.txt and filesystems/ntfs.txt. I can also read the source code and its notes - for instance kernel/cpu.c or kernel/panic.c.

Where do I find analogous documentation or source code for NT 10? Lack of systems documentation pushed me away from Windows, and I would love to learn I was wrong.
It's entirely possible to create systems of auditing that do actually involve in depth investigation and verification.

It has far more titles than US netflix, at least. IDK what the size of the streaming "rental" catalogs are though.
Awesome. So it does hold true for PHP as well.
Interest Rates Shouldn’t Be Interesting
I just checked - there are 7 out of 50 marked that have Senior in the title or description. Only 6 are marked as junior (I should have added more junior positions for the launch tbh)

So that leaves about 37 mid-tier positions that aren't entry level.
I'd guess the energy costs would be similar since it's roughly the same hardware (CPUs, memory, radio transmitters) but minus the display.
I use an online service called JustWatch that searches through all of the platforms at once. Huge time saver.
Network effects are a (nonlinear) function of network size. The bay area is limited by local zoning ordinances and can't scale much larger. There's only so many locals to displace and new construction happens at a snail's pace. New York has a much larger scale already, so at this rate it's just a matter of time until New York overcomes the network effects that the bay area currently enjoys.

The factors that could keep the bay area dominant are:

(1) Rapid densification and development of the region pushing down prices and attracting newcomers (not likely)

(2) A tech recession halts the expansion of the sector and potentially begins a phase of consolidation

(3) A paradigm shift towards remote work

Politicians and the people that run our mass media have a vested interest in the status quo, so they are happy to keep the hoi polloi talking about a narrow set of topics. If we start addressing the greater injustices in our society, the gatekeepers of political discourse might find themselves on the outside looking in.
Except no one refers to "America, the continent". It's always North America, South America, The Americas, or possibly Central America (though that's not really a continent). Typically America is the nation. This is doubly true because there is really no other good term for a citizen; "United States Citizen" is verbose and somewhat clinical, and there is no such word as "United Statesian". That's part of what happens when you choose a name for a nation with more than one word.
You are correct about the "bias", but the site name is TripAdvisor, so I disagree with calling it a bias. You just aren't the target customer.

If you want more sophisticated reviews you can always go with Rick Steves, who usually does a good job of pointing out what are the most popular restaurants for tourists and contrasting that with the most popular restaurants for locals.
> Basically every telecom network is built as fiber to the node not fiber to the premises.

My town is quite literally stringing up fiber (and laying it in some cases) throughout the town limits over the next 90 days.

So unless you mean that most residents/businesses won't technically have a physical fiber-optic type cable dangling inside their abode, I don't understand what you're talking about.
Promises still run in the main thread.

You could try to use a web worker, but then you run into the problem that they don't have shared memory, so you need to pass data back some other way.
Promises are a way to deal with async code. Parsing JSON is synchronous and CPU-bound, so promises offer no benefit. And since web pages are single-threaded[0], there isn't really any way you can parse JSON in the background and wait on the result.

[0]: There is now the Web Workers API which does allow you to run code in the background. I've never used it, but I have heard that it has a pretty high overhead since you have to communicate with it through message passing, so it's possible you wouldn't actually gain anything by using it to parse a large JSON object.

> I'd rather spend no more than $25/mo on tv and $50 for >=100mbit internet. Thats an ideal number considering I spend less on electricity each month.

Agreed. Other countries are able to do it, but cable companies and ISPs have monopolies in different regions of the US.
I wonder if we'll see a shift in energy politics as equatorial countries become sites for significant energy generation.

The cynic in me says no, we'll just see existing players exploit those countries, but the optimist in me says there's a chance that many communities could see an economic boost or even transformation if they can get sufficient energy exports set up.
In other news: Here deregulation of taxi services made people use taxi services less. Competition does not always mean more accessible or affordable consumer options.
It has become fairly common. I have multiple friends with large, shared Plex libraries. This isn't sharing with the public, it's sharing among known friends.
You ignore the cost of "organically" figuring out the good from the bad. This is the same problem with free market economics. There are many ways of discovering the correct price/cost/idea.
On one extreme, you have those who say that we should let people figure it out on their own without any kind of inhibition. But that kind of method comes at the greatest cost because essentially it's nothing but brute-forcing the solution, except human life is at stake and will be lost multiple times before the correct solution is found.
It is pretty obvious that there is a more optimal method, than just letting laymen, with no knowledge on the subject matter, just try to walk blindly into the solution.
I would say, that is maybe one of the meanings of what it means to be civilized; to figure out ever more optimal methods to search for solutions in all areas of life.
Because JSON.parse blocks the thread it's in, and JS is single threaded [1].

So even if you put it behind a promise, when that promise actually runs, it will block the thread.

In essence, using promises (or callbacks or timeouts or anything else like that) allows you to delay the thread-blocking, but once the code hits `JSON.parse`, no other javascript will run until it completes. And since no other javascript will run, the UI is entirely unresponsive during that time as well.

[1] Technically there are web-workers, and I looked into them to try and solve this problem. Unfortunately any complex-objects that get sent to or from a worker need to be serialized (no pass-by-reference is allowed except for a very small subset of "C style" arrays called TypedArrays). So while you could technically send the string to a worker and have the worker call `JSON.parse` on it to get an object, when you go to pass that object back the javascript engine will need to do an "implicit" `JSON.stringify` in the worker, then a `JSON.parse` in the main thread. Making it entirely useless for my usecase.

But continuing with that same thought process, I very nearly went for an architecture that used a web-worker, did the `JSON.parse` in the worker, then exposed methods that could be called from the main thread to get small amounts of data out of the worker as needed. Something like `worker.getProperty('foo.bar.baz')` which would only take the parsing hit for very small subsets of the data at a time. But ultimately the oboe.js solution was simpler and faster at runtime.
My bank has SMS alerts, I can ok a suspicious transaction just by saying Y. I also chose HSBC because they have branches in China, otherwise they are not a great bank.
> that "fan" is short for "fanatic"

Eh, that's its (probable) origin, but I'd say the two have diverged in meaning; "fan" nowadays doesn't have the same connotation of extreme and uncritical zeal of "fanatic."
Woah. Never thought about that for TV, but I think it'd work well for me at least!
To be fair hooks are kind of a frivolous feature that add no new functionality (just another way to do something we already could). It does irk me a bit when library maintainers do stuff like this because it just introduces more complexity and more patterns into a framework that people feel the need to tap into. Smart devs will just opt not to use hooks, but it sucks that the industry will likely adopt it for no reason other than keeping up with the latest trends.

React peaked at v16.
I would fire middle managers for firing individual contributors for trivial, easily correctible issues like that.
SPARQL requires buy-in into the world of the semantic web even when all you want to do is store and query graph data.

Also, property graphs wouldn't have managed to get the traction they have if SPARQL would have been sufficient. SPARQL simply suffers from being designed in a way that does not sufficiently address the needs of application developers, in expressivity, ease of use, let alone allowing easy migration of existing relational data by sharing the same type system with SQL.
If we don't pay the national debt, the US economy would suffer enormously. Eventually people would lose trust in the US dollar itself causing hyperinflation which leads to the worst disasters in modern history.
I remember when you were considered left wing when you defended those artists.
A Carbon tax would also disproportionately help the poor, especially the global poor, so it's not fair to call it regressive without finding a way to put some numbers on both the costs and benefits. Besides, the money gained from a carbon tax isn't lost, it can be reinvested in things like public transit infrastructure.

Employee overhead is usually an additional 15%-20% of their salary (benefits, perks, etc). So if you are looking at doing the work as a contractor just add 25% onto what you would ask for as an employee: $100K turns into $125K
If you're going to hire a developer for their first job, don't think twice. Developers without degrees are better than developers with degress in 100% of the cases.

If they don't have a degree that means they've learned something without being forced to, they love the subject and are genuinely interested.
Graph databases like Neo4j have a very important performance characteristic called "index-free adjacency".

This means that a traversal from node to node (similar to a JOIN in a relational database) does NOT use an index. Instead, it's more like chasing pointers, jumping directly to an offset. Whereas relational databases do use an index to perform JOINS - it's essentially a set comparison, using an index to see where two sets overlap.

What this means is that the performance of joins in relational databases is dependent on the overall size of the tables, while the performance of traversals in a graph database that implements index-free adjacency is not dependent on the overall size of the data (rather just the connectedness of the nodes being traversed), because an index is not used for traversals.
Many jobs are CS degree

(Off topic: This is a case of “naming is hard but not for the reasons you think.” Naming is hard in part because being picky about names has a social cost. My being picky about the name here, perfect example. How do you (other HN readers) feel about me being picky? I suspect many of you would think I’m kind of annoying for making a big deal of it. Just saying this is a big part of why good naming is hard.)
