Statistically speaking, the doctors were probably right. The guy taking the chemo effectively traded a better chance of survival for worse short-term quality of life. (And lost the bet.) But yes, it’s good to know the chances, so that you can choose to die in relative peace as opposed to making the rest of your life very difficult for a marginal increase in your survival chance.

I had a job 5 or 6 years ago where I needed to maintain/add to a website using ColdFusion. I actually kind of liked it, compared to PHP. That said I wasn't doing anything especially complex, which might have changed my mind.
No, they are not the same as CGI. You can run PHP as a CGI, as many cheap hosts do, but for performance PHP is run as either Apache mod_php or php-fpm with Nginx. Mod_perl is not CGI and requires much more discipline to prevent shared memory leaks. Mod_perl allows content negotiation which CGI does not.

It sounds like insurance is causing the problem, then.

I don't believe that this is the only, or best, way to provide across-the-board medical coverage, given how many countries seem to manage fine.
There is no amount of evidence that would please alt-right types like you. That’s why it’s not worth discussing things with you. Construct whatever narrative helps you sleep at night.... if this was any other website, I’d have a significantly less measured response.... needless to say, get used to being on the losing side of the culture war.
And still the ISP to some extent. Content fingerprinting just from the packet sizes / timing is unreasonably effective. It doesn't matter that the packets are encrypted.
Some vague advice from a non-expert:

It may well be a fact, for you and everyone else, that if you make a mistake at work and people are aware of it, it reflects negatively on you more than the good things you do reflect positively. It's human nature, to pay attention when things go wrong. And why shouldn't it? – hopefully, you do many more good things every day than bad things. This may just be a matter of facing reality. Do others similarly fear making mistakes? You could ask them about that.

What's the worst that could happen? Often it's good to imagine that, in detail, when you are just "fearing the worst" in some situation in life, without really facing it. Living with that fear every day, as you are, may itself be much worse than that supposed "worst thing". Losing that job may turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you–who knows. Also, strong enough fear of mistakes will actually cause you to make mistakes. Find self-help books on the subject or get some psychological counselling if it's a serious problem for you. Good luck!

College, for me, was never about becoming educated. I am in a constant state of becoming more educated. College was about getting a job. As soon as I got a job, I dropped out.
(Disclaimer: I'm a PhD student in real-time operating systems at UNC.)

Each program has its own strengths, and simply comparing between similarly titled classes is an unfortunately poor metric. (Eg. At UNC, OS is really an introduction to C and OS concepts class. The Operating System Implementations class sounds more similar to CMU's OS Class.) Academic programs need to be compared holistically, and only if one is consistently worse than the other do you have an answer. (Otherwise I could go and claim that UNC is better than CMU because our real-time group is much better.)

Of course, that's too much analysis for most people (including me), so I would argue that looking at where graduates work is typically an okay proxy for undergraduate educational quality.

Some VPNs conduct third-party audits to be able to say that they don't persist info about your traffic. That's usually more than what an ISP is willing/able to say.

My wife suffers nausea. It is pretty extreme.

There are different forms of marijuana. We tried a few. It took a few attempts to get one that worked.

If she is able, try the different forms. Edible, topical, etc...

One that worked early on was simple. Heat it for a half hour at 235 degrees F. This converts the THC to its active form.

That raw plant material, ground fine and put into empty capsules worked and was easy to consume.

We had to titrate and get it to a modest, but effective dose.

She is vaporizing now. But that edible capsule got her going. She seemed to need to feel it work to overcome displeasure associated with consuming it.

The mental effects are a PITA, but I saw her ability to function improve rapidly.

Good luck with her. I feel your struggle.

Unfortunately this was not a routine check, it seems that routine checks did not found this issue and only after checks were done specifically to look for this issue more cracks were found.

I think this is just how you think about yourself, because everyone is their own worst critic (myself included). The things you do right last a lot longer I'm sure than your mistakes. Unless you like, killed someone, or broke some incredibly expensive thing, etc. But then you'd probably be fired already.

Mistakes happen when you try something new. I think the most important thing is to manage your risk - what happens when you screw up? Hopefully the impact of mistakes is small.

As anecdata, I always really admire people who can say "look, I screwed up, and this is how I screwed up. Now you can learn from my mistake and maybe not screw up." Owning it I think is key. I'm not saying it's easy though.

One thing to be mindful of is a toxic, petty workplace. Even some large FANG companies are like this, where everyone is looking for reasons to try to hold you back even though they don't mean anything, it's just to make them look good. I got tired of that shit, and so I'm done with cultures like that. People end up spending so much time stabbing each other in the back they rarely get work done. When in a situation like that, make nice with the decision makers, and just remember the best revenge is success (and best served cold to your enemies). Don't even bother trying to woo jerks with your success.

The point was that on any project related to graphics programming those screenshots should be on the landing page, not necessarily all of them.

It is a question of UX, the first thing everyone usually wants to see is how it looks like, not trying to find out where is the link for examples, if it exists at all.

As for the work itself, it is a great piece of work.
This doesn't make any sense. Just like you demoted the master's curriculum and all it's requirements to pass the classes on the way, you can say the same thing about the doctorate. You put in a few more years of minimal effort before losing patience to become a professor or having any kind of tenure.

There you go. You haven't proven you bring added value.
It's hard to overcome a fear, if one is surrounded by people triggering fear or handling their own fears in unproductive ways. Many do this unconsciously so don't judge.

Lot of folk take advantage of other's insecurities because it works. And because it works, they train others to follow their methods. And that leads to a culture of fear.

So be conscious of who you are dealing with. Otherwise it can get very confusing.

Trust and respect are key. Find people you trust and respect based on their behavior towards others. They will be your sources of confidence and reduce your sensitivity to different types of triggers.
Try mawk. It's an incredibly fast awk implementation. If you're using gawk, setting LANG=C will make large awk programs with lots of complex regexpes run significantly faster as well.

amazing, I tried doing this recently but I guess my modeling was not good enough and it would take hours to find the solution with a couple of dozen variables. Do you have any pointers on how to much these types of problems with a SMT/SAT solver efficiently?
I had the same thoughts watching that.m - it’s been 17 years, but the company is amazing. Each rocket contains as much pressurized space as the ISS.

I do however think the “rapid reusability” thing is going to be a challenge. He mentioned 20 flights a day for the booster and 6 (or so) for the starships. I expect 1 per day tops, still exceedingly impressive, but once one of these blow up (or hopefully before) they’ll have heavy pre-flight inspections.

Starting off id hope for heavy inspections, then following a period of no error inspections could be reduced.

From Wikipedia.

> Respect, also is called esteem, is a positive feeling or action shown towards someone or something considered important, or held in high esteem or regard. It conveys a sense of admiration for good or valuable qualities. And it is also the process of honoring someone by exhibiting care, concern, or consideration for their needs or feelings.

My emphasis. I don't know if you define "respect" in your own way or you only care about people's feeling if they have a certain skill level or have achieved/contributed enough.
Arrays – The most popular data structure

So yeah they may have found only 2 more planes with cracks because they only checked 2 more planes that were already disassembled.

There is in fact a remarkably useful set of well developed air launch rockets that help provide a nice “benchmark” for comparison with air launching satellites/etc using rockets. Anti-SATellite (ASAT) weapons are making similar engineering trade offs but aiming at a different set of capabilities, optimising for smaller sizes, being “rack ready” in the event war breaks out, and so on.

Unlike the more modern ship launched SM3 that is part of the Ageis system, the older ASM-135 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASM-135_ASAT was designed to be air launched in a supersonic zoom climb to get maximum speed and altitude from the aircraft in order to maximise its capabilities.

For an even better comparison, you can compare air launches ASAT missiles with sounding rockets, they have a greater similarity in their trajectories/launch profiles, so it’s easier to see what the air launch “gains” over the ground launch.
My Apple TV sometimes doesn't negotiate hdmi correctly and ends up without hdcp enabled, and it whines similarly to what you describe. If I switch inputs on the receiver it'll re-negotiate correctly and everything works again. It's annoying, but it's not necessarily caring specifically about the content you are watching.
That hasn't been my experience.

I've seen some that use public key crypto, but mostly they do not because even the smallest secure cryptosystems have signatures on the order of at least 20 bytes (and more conventional choices more like 256-bit ECDSA... 64 bytes)-- which, after conversion to typeable characters, are a bit unwieldy.

I fully admit that my entire understanding of the UNC curriculum is what I just gathered in 5 minutes of googling/reading. So ya, just comparing labs from similarly named classes is definitely not the best methodology.

That being said I've spent a lot of time in my career recruiting students out of undergrad. And I've noticed significantly more rigor and in depth work from students from some of the top schools compared to most everywhere else.
I’m a developer who runs an infrastructure team. Have for years. And most developers I know don’t know why you’d log in JSON unless I was the one to explain it to them (patiently, while remembering the times they acted frustrated at my guys for not doing all the magic and just some).

So much for DevOps philosophy, indeed.
yeah my eye brows are fairly raised at the thought of embedding a templating language in it. For production use of a spreadsheet, I imagine pulling the source code out of the spreadsheet using https://github.com/google/clasp and synchronising with a repository using Terraform.

At which point Terraform has a weak templating engine already, but its generally enough for building reusable infra. Additional features can be provided within the spreadsheet using reusable libraries. One pain point with embedding functional dataprocessing in a spreadsheet for JSON data, is a decent way of writing tree expressions, to which I would turn to the de facto JSON tooling jq for inspiration.

if you want to take this further, I am up for building some infra for continuous deployment spreadhseets through terraform. tom <dot> larkworthy <at> futurice.com

But I would not embed stuff inline with the JSON. I would have a pure sheet dedicated to stuff going in, and a compute sheet for stuff join out. And the definition for stuff going out should basically be a JQ expression, that can "shell out" to sheets expressions https://github.com/sloanlance/jq/issues/1
Still I think it could be much better with the graphical tooling of the surviving commercial Lisps.
> I don't feel that people wanting to be in their own very special niche class of genre, race or whatever category is sane, good and healthy, or some form of progress. Happiness isn't finding some form of very individualistic achievement.

1) That's not a feeling, that's an opinion. 2) And really? Do you think you have the answer to how people should find "happiness". Then you should write one more book on the subject and become another self help millionaire. You seem appropriately sure of yourself so, go nuts!
It's also worth mentioning that once you are in space things are relatively easy. You only need around 20% more deltaV to get from Earth to Mars, as from Earth to the Moon (assuming a one way trip).

This is an interesting read, but I'd be interested in a more large-scale benchmark. Right now it could be possible that the SAT solver is just better optimized for the particular platform, instead of the SAT solver being superior algorithm-wise.

Ask HN: Received an offer to buy out my web app, what do?
I literally just launched my MVP last week and signed up my first few users, one of whom turned out to be an angel investor.

After exchanging a few emails about my app, he offered to buy out my app "as-is," since he'd have access to the talent, capital, and resources to really develop it.

What should I do?
Eh, I think you're stretching it a bit too far. The code these corporations release as FOSS is a tiny, tiny portion of their software portfolio.

The main reason they open-source stuff is mindshare among the developer community, which helps with recruiting, influencing discussions in the public sphere, and so on.
Gee, I don’t know. When developers are constantly flinging half-tested and wholly unoperationalized things over the wall, perhaps it’s normal to develop local-maxima defensive practices.

I am a software developer and yet when I hear a developer open their mouth to complain about nearly any other aspect of a product team, be it QA or infra or UX, it has this weird tendency to resolve to Anybody But The Developer causing an issue.
This was more of an off the cuff remark than it was a guided estimate, though his reasoning was fairly valid:

He expects a Starship successful orbit in 6 +- 3 months. Demonstrating human capability with non-reusable hardware means building and throwing away hardware 10 times. A rocket capable of rapid reuse would be able to do about 3 flights a day (due to orbit time + needing to align to landing site again + some downtime) Even at the "low" rate of 1 a day, that's less than two weeks of flights. If they're way off their mark, one launch a week is 2.3 months.

Not that I would take your bet, but it's not unthinkable.
My university takes student rankings very seriously in tenure reviews.
Which is why my windows 7 box will remain on windows 7 and unplugged from the internet.
This article is about learning, but the context seems to be about landing a job. Software jobs are all about who you know. People who know people get waved past all the red tape. The truer purpose of education is relationships not knowledge. This is why there are high school dropout senior engineers ordering burgers from CS grads. If you're in it for money, you're less likely to build relationships. This is why I'm genuinely concerned for all these people stampeding towards CS. It's gonna be ugly in 5-10 years IMO.
The best way to have PO that understand the business value of bugs is to work in traditional industries, where software just has a support role.

Every bug or downtime that gets reported does have a visible business impact.

And unnecessary features seldom get implemented if not covered by project budget.
These reddit flamewar comments don't belong here, it adds nothing to discussion.

Obviously, because the PHP regex engine is written in C, not in PHP. It's more like Rust's regex crate vs C PCRE rather than PHP, or who calls system call faster. While Rust's IO is locked[1] and doesn't buffer (which is slower than buffered, unsynchronized IO like other languages). And regex crate is slow when capturing, which is used on the "benchmark".

Thank you for that free pass! I think you are a full on idiot that is void of empathy and is so full of yourself only because you read 1984 (I bet you've read atlas shrugged too and was "mind blown"). Your paranoia and tendency to see boogey mans is what's destroying the world, it's sure as fuck not me who say "let's try to respect each others wishes". You would do best if you didn't voice another butt stupid opinion until you talked to at least one intergender/trans/non-binary person which I assume you don't have.

The hero comment is beside the point. When a company literally force the government to make laws in retaliation for the shitty way a company runs their business is proof the “strategy” is unethical and illegal.

I think the idea would be that if we could actually sort out the food waste, it wouldn't have to be in a 'proper' landfill, rather it could be composted. In theory nothing will really decompose in a landfill because it is a big hermetic tin can by design.

Sell him some stake - build a clause that you retain ownership and input and control until he can prove he really wants to take it over, once you can assess the value he sees, then you can negotiate what to fully sell to him which works for both.
