I'm middle aged, a Gen X'er. I've always taken time off, on my schedule. "I'm taking this Friday off." No reason the Boss needs to be aware of, I won't be in the office. I'm sensitive to the calendar and deadlines.

"Sick. Not coming in today." This one should be obvious - is there some overriding concern that Boss wants to risk contaminating the entire office? I hope not...

This whole "asking for permission" thing bugs me. Sure, there might need to be a conversation if something in my personal life comes up and me taking tomorrow off to deal with it would impact an important meeting or a deadline. But anything in advance, and especially well in advance, is me courteously informing Boss that I won't be available to the company on that day/week/whatever.
Regarding the sibling dead comment, it is not uncommon that comments are dead from start, not because they were downvoted in this thread.

I don't know, but I imagine it is one of the HN automated moderation actions, based on previous downvotes of that user comments.

There is "vouche" feature to minimize unfairness in these cases. If you do not agree that a particular comment should be dead from start, you can click on the timestamp (to go to the permanent link of the comment) and click on vouche. I do this sometimes. I did now for the mentioned comment (from draw_down ) because I agree with you that it is a valuable comment and it is not dead anymore.
While troubleshooting I came across the GitHub source code here: https://github.com/ColdGrub1384/LibTerm

Attempting to compile a small program, the first barrier I came across started from running cat > hello.c, but after typing the program I found there was no way to enter ^D. There are mentions of Ctrl characters on GitHub but nothing clear in the Help options.

So then I tried a herestring with cat > hello.c <<EOF, but herestrings do not seem to work in this shell (no > prompt and does not exit after typing EOF). At this point I tried multiple echo lines: While I could put one starting line, appending to an existing file with >> seems to have no effect.

As my intent is only to test clang, I settled for a one-line C program like int main() {}. clang hello.c then gave an error: Executable "ld" didn't exist!

Well, I'm here to test the compiler not the linker, so then resorted to clang -c hello.c and it successfully generated a hello.o object. Yet I'm unable to analyze the output without the objdump or file commands.

At this point LibTerm may be rather unsuitable for using clang, but running the help command shows other handy *nix tools, including Lua and Python.
The glyph pattern in the link looks similar to the location grid that the Neo Smartpen [1] uses to encode page ID and location.

The DMCA stuff got more serious since BMG vs Cox in 2015. Now ISPs have to have a policy about repeat infringers that includes cutting off internet service. Cox got sued again (twice I think? kinda lost track) https://torrentfreak.com/cox-highlights-double-standard-and-... so ISPs are getting even more nervous.
Any one working on any sort of back end infra needs to know this. Ask yourself how a simple webserver can process multiple incoming requests efficiently ? Or an app wants to do a network call without blocking it's UI from being updated.
Go you for aspiring to the lofty levels of discourse exemplified by places like Tumblr, and immediately flagging expressions they don't like as "sexist" or "misogynistic" without any context for how they're used and who's using them. You missed your chance for bonus good-boy points by using "alt-right" or "incel".

Keep in mind that both of those two options are only shallow clones. If you've got any bit of nesting and need a deep clone the code starts to get a lot more complex. In general, in places where I "need" a lot of deep clones I try to use an Immutable library with good reuse/sharing tools, but when you have to deep clone a plain JS object JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj)) is incredibly fast in most browsers, despite the fact that you would think string allocation might be a bottle neck.
That's pretty common in dictatorships, if you read Alex Kershaw's two volume Bio of Hitler he gives some examples.

The whole point of the federal law was for the rest of the country to part of the way to where California already was.

But, yes, every state should have been equally free to have higher standards, but taking away California's waiver is going to the wrong direction.

I will give these a view later, TY.
I think this is being framed incorrectly. It's not about voice vs text, it's about sync vs async.

By default, phone calls (and face-to-face conversations) are synchronous. You call someone, they have to stop what they're doing and have a conversation in real-time. They also can't judge the importance until they're already interrupted and have started the conversation anyway.

Text messages, email, chat and even voicemail are asynchronous. You send a message, the person can respond when able, and likewise. They can also see the initial query, and this can help them decide whether to respond immediately or later.

Async communication has the benefit of being able to work synchronously, if you want, but it doesn't have to. You might annoy people by not responding fast enough, but not in the same way that you would if you were to just put down the phone and walk away for a few minutes/hours.

I think the real problem is misuse of async vs synchronous styles of communication, and knowing when to switch between them.

I personally prefer async communication by default, but if we're going to do near-real-time async anyway, I'd rather have a 5 minute phone call than spend half an hour texting back and forth. I hate unexpected phone calls (and in fact, pretty much don't answer my phone), but I have absolutely no issue with a scheduled call -- that that is usually arranged asynchronously.
It actually took me a while to understand that the announcement likely meant that they had acquired Semmle...
You don't understand the dynamics of proper day drinking. If you drink early you get your hangover in the evening, then have a good sleep and a hangover free day after. Day drinking properly done has definitely its benefits - even for the company.
I've built an app using Neo4j and have the same impression. Cypher is such a good query language. I wish I could use it over SQL in pretty much every situation.
You live an urban lifestyle where you commute and travel by train and you don't stay in your suburban palace most of the time when you're not at work. Then you look at youtube videos during that time.
Around the same for me as well. And I do find the "unlimited" is pretty much as advertised even with deprioritization since I live in a rural area. My average use on one of the lines is 250GB/mo. It usually sits around 35mbit down, 5mbit up... this compares favorably with cable options in my area.
An object moving and an object vanishing are the same from the perspective of wave propagation, the only difference is that one event will have a more dramatic (therefore easier to visualize) effect.

If the sun instantaneously vanished, we would see it disappear at the same instant as its gravitational effect stops, 8 minutes after the actual event occurred. For those 8 minutes while the light and gravitational information are in transit, the Earth will continue to revolve around a visible (though now nonexistant) sun.

In the same way as if the sun suddenly jerked ten million miles to the south, we would see it move at the same instant as its gravitational force vector changed, 8 minutes after the actual event occurred, but that's harder to keep in your head.
Can you also prove self learners are proficient in the same numbers as CS grads ?
that's nothing new. draft versions are usually released for free, but the final ISO standards have always required fees for access and the copyright for the documents belongs to ISO. a standard for the C programming language, for example, will run about $200. average developers don't usually need access to the standard, as they will be working with an implementation of the standard anyway (which should be providing its own documentation).
Who cares about showing people you can do something without a degree? It might get you more money or different opportunities at some point in life at the cost of doing some classes. Which in turn will teach you something you didn’t know already know, which is also a positive and possibly fun thing.

It isn’t as if people are sitting around saying “wow look at archeantus doing all that stuff without a degree, he is sure telling them.”

Do whatever feels right for you, not others.
Just having "waves" is not enough for a laser. You need bosons--i.e., quantum particles with integer spin. To see the quantum aspects of gravitational waves that would correspond to this, you would need extremely strong sources--much stronger even than the black hole mergers that LIGO has observed. Nobody has any expectation of observing any quantum aspect of gravitational waves in the foreseeable future, much less being able to control such sources in order to make a laser.
You maybe an outlier. I clearly said some are great. "Our" - you don't represent all self learners.
Part of lisp is just that it's really easy to sort of 80/20 rule you a compiler or DSL.

In new spaces that haven't been fully explored, lisp is awesome for letting you iterate on fundamentals of a language design before you put the work into a full language.
Yea but I can't just copy a website and start hosting my own version for numerous copyright reasons even if it is just to archive. I can't for example torrent a bunch of movies and store them for the purpose of "archiving"

The strategy of "making haste slowly" dates back to the Roman empire (or earlier!), where they said "Festina lente"

This was also used as a catch-phrase or motto in "Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore", which is a fun read, especially if you're familiar with the Silicon Valley tech scene.

A Caesar mother does get a stat of antibiotics before opening.
In crash caesars this would barely have time to distribute; normal operating procedure calls for the dose to occur 30 min to 1 hr before skin incision though.

You have a bit of a misunderstanding here - a baby does not have a microbiome in the womb - it is a sterile environment
>if I don't meet one of them, I don't apply because it's a waste of my time.

I've gotten many jobs and not met all the requirements. If you're good in something they want, but miss something they want, they might hire you.

Especially if you're the best candidate among all the candidates, none of which often have all the requirements.

Not applying certainly takes you out of the pool.
Not sure it’s a Dunning-Kruger Effect. Investment bubbles drag people in. He thought it was overvalued when he doubled his money and got out. He was probably right but the market stayed irrational. Looks like he was buying the dips on the way down too.

“Tales abound of how he invested early, and cashed out with 100% profits as market valuations went to what seemed to him unjustified levels. However, as prices continued to advance, he supposedly invested again at the peak and lost most of his fortune in the crash that followed”

As a former entitled young person (still entitled, but not so young anymore), I've made it a point never to ask for a day off. I will tell employers when I am taking a day off.

> asking for things whether they deserve it or not.

> Sometimes, it's cute. "I'd like a day off" out of no-where.

This is a troubling attitude, and I hope it's not what you meant. Does their compensation agreement include PTO? Then they "deserve" their day off. There is no other requirement. There is no explanation or justification needed. As an employer, you may request that I reschedule my PTO if there is an urgent business need, which I may or may not do if possible. But I've never understood the attitude that someone needs to come up with a reason to use the compensation they've rightfully earned. Would you hold their paycheck over their head and demand a reason why they should be allowed to spend it?
When you're young and lonely and clueless many unhealthy/unsustainable things can make you happy. Happy isn't the be-all, end-all of how work should be structured. Many people regret making tradeoffs they were once quite happy to be making.
"everyone" in this instance being "parties that stand to profit from this business model." I don't think consumers want this at all, and I'd even go so far as to argue the only reason cable still exists as a service is that no company has found a cheap way to stream live sports.

I wouldn’t trust Laowhy86’s commentary on China’s macroeconomic development. Nor would I trust Bill Bishop to tell me what it’s like to raise a young family in a third-tier city in China. Both voices have some utility.
In my experience these kind of people just chill in the office if they are forced to come in, but appear busy by proximity and association with their coworkers. When the most important metric is work-done and not butt-in-seat-hours, it can actually be easier for (effective) managers to filter out the ineffective employees.
It's not about moral goodness, it's about developer ergonomics. I don't see why the fallacy would apply to all value judgments

The increasing of that GDP was just the number. The Chinese national bank just produced more money and pay them to the building company. It's inflation. People cannot got much good from it.
>to notice they left out the gates to the wrong answer

Can you explain this a little more? I've seen similar references to this elsewhere. If it means what I think it means, it's kind of a really big deal. But it may mean something else.

This is very similar to how MFA bypasses are done now. The user will be tricked into viewing a site that looks like the correct one to input the MFA code but it will instead be captured and relayed through an attacker controlled connection.
You joke, and are being downvoted, but I had never ever thought about cunnilingus affecting ones gut biome. Is that ridiculous or even possible?
...of course? Who else would you even be debating with? What is there to discuss between two people who hate scientology? Isn't the point of debate to entertain different views and/or to persuade others?
Most of us have heard of it. You can't log into this site and not hear of it. "Gut bacteria" is a square (alongside the likes of "Rust" and "Bitcoin") on my Hackernews bingo card.

But there are scientifically validated treatments and then there's folk medicine of unknown safety and effectiveness, and putting gauze swabbed with vagina juice in your baby's mouth sounds a lot like the latter.

Water is often wet and roses are often red.
Increasingly in developed countries twin births are caesars; the risk profile of twin births often necessitates this for patient safety.

When a normal vaginal delivery is possible (ie first twin cephalic) generally the second will follow.
My partner (obgyn Resident ) says she has had 2 twin births where the first was vaginal and the second Caesar, out of roughly a couple hundred
The marketing is obviously directed towards youth in certain circumstances -- for example they have packages that look exactly like Lucky Charms and Froot Loops.

Would you also argue that Lucky Charms and Froot Loops cereal commercials are not advertising to children, because some adults happen to eat sugary cereal?

I work as a consultant, with sone stints in industry.

My 2 cents is:
- trust me to manage my time as needed. If i dont have any urgent priorities, i will drop down a gear. If i have priority tasks, they will get done on time and to spec, guaranteed.
- give me flexibility, it is worth more than money. Letting me work a day or two remotely, start or finish late can save me hours of commute time, flight costs, etc. It shows me you value me as a person, and not just me sitting in a desk.
- understand that i consider my work holistically: for example, letting me bail early on fridays gives me a level of joy that helps me advocate for you as an employer and makes me forgive a lot of your shortcomings.

All in all, us young people are not doing anything revolutionary but sometimes se arr more willing to cut through the bs and take what we need in order to be able to mentally and emotionally give what is demanded.
Wish I had that here in N/W Britain. I pay £45 a month, or $56, for 40mbps down and 7 up, and that's just for broadband. Nothing else.

Archiving the web is a fine thing on its own, but why must everything become a "war" against misinformation, fake news, etc.? It can simply be a side benefit to having the Internet Archive. But I'm wary of anyone who claims to be trying to combat misinformation, because usually there's a political agenda. (and I don't care whose agenda it is, but by all means, downvote me...)

I don't want the Internet Archive to be around for the sake of keeping tabs on Trump or pointing out fake news. Just archive web content. The end, please.
Which is more likely: aliens have arrived on Earth with extraterrestrial vehicles from (likely) light years away, and have allowed themselves to be spotted by terrestrial aircraft; or, militaries with huge budgets and some of the smartest scientists and engineers in the world have designed incredible vehicles that have been kept secret even from members of their own military?
I was actually thinking of exactly this problem, but it turned out to be difficult to demonstrate, because YB doesn't allow you to add columns with default values to an existing table.

There might be other ways this could play out in migrations--I haven't had time to look deeply.
Maybe the intent of the writer was to make the new hires feel welcome aboard to their new company.

That's also not mutually exclusive of the emotive intent you are describing. What makes that Orwellian though?
I'm 27, never had a "proper" 9-5 type of job, and I've always wondered how do people with these types of jobs do things like taking their dog to the vet. In my country if you ask for time off to take your dog to the vet you'll definitely get weird looks. So how do they do it? Just lie and say you need to go to the bank? Just let their dog in pain?
Besides the obvious flexible time benefits, this shifts a lot of accountability and responsibility from upper management down to lower levels. It's also a nice perceived "gift" or "compensation" from up on high without having to pay out actual monetary raises or bonuses.
Young people are the inexperienced, they're the ones who're gonna get squeezed into whatever shape employers set up. I used to think we were in for a big corporate culture shift, to more informality, more power to the worker, more acceptance of neurodiversity. That was in college, but my opinion completely switched once I entered the workforce and realized how the levers of food-controlling power work to either filter out or implicitly threaten any behavior that isn't suitable for the goals of those at the top.
Jmg2's other posts are similarly incoherent. I think it must be some comment generation algorithm. It definitely has some contextual details correct.
There's no reason we should assume that's happening behind the scenes. Password practices, on the other hand, don't require assumptions because everyone can see exactly what they are.

Actually, a library is a specific legal context that does allow it to do many things similar to what you're describing. It can't steal movies for archiving, but it certainly can purchase and share legally procured copies. Digital sharing is an admittedly more complex minefield...
Colorado has laws that give monopolies on the infrastructure to whoever owns it. But in order to get around anti-trust laws (or for some other cynical reason), so in your case, there is really only one provider, but they share their infrastructure with their competition and throttle them to nothing. So your options are "whatever comcast offers" and "whatever comcast decides CenturyLink can offer"

Same here. Our son has gotten all the required vaceenes but we also opted for two at a time max. Aside from being less convenient (2-3x as many visits) he still had all his shots by the time they were needed.

At the risk of committing a sunk cost fallacy, I would definitely say that's worth it since you are already so close and a sizable segment of society places a minimal expectation on having such a thing. Degrees are more a certificate that signal something to employers rather than actual vehicles of continued learning. Even if it's not needed now, it would certainly open more doors.

But that's just my opinion. Do whatever feels right for you.
I personally hate texting, and before this, IRC. I also don't do Facebook or have an account there.

I keep in touch with a handful of elderly relatives and friends via a phone call a few times a year.

If they were to tell me to text them or hit them up on Facebook instead and phone is simply unacceptable to them (unlikely and has never happened), then that's their choice and I respect it completely, and it certainly will be the end of our communication if they insist on that since I don't do Facebook and I don't text.

Snail mailed letters... I can and do do these for those who don't want phone calls.

The same is true of electromagnetic waves. The amplitude of EM waves decreases inversely with distance, and the energy decreases with the inverse square.

Your original comparison of EM waves to gravitational waves is only possible because you looked at the power of one, and the amplitude of the other. If you compare apples to apples, they're the same.
