Yeah for sure, the size difference is borderline negligible depending on the application, and the Asrock boxes pack a ton more features.

If the intended use is as a low spec desktop/dev machine the DeskMini would fit the bill well. That being said in an application like mine, having three fit into 1U of rack space, not only are the DeskMini's too large, but they also dont have dual NICs.

Would you have an adult new grad lead a team to build a product around an op-amp?
It long predates 2016: the Reagan admistration enacted a job-retraining program in 1982 that was supposed to help people displaced by deindustrialization, offshoring, etc., and some version of it has been supported by every administration of either party since. It doesn't seem to have worked and I don't think any of the target audience believes it will work now, so it's not much of a vote-winner as a policy, unless you can convince people you mean something really different.

I had to start wearing glass at age 25, and have been wearing them since. I also live in a very damp area (coastal, not swampy), and indeed, if I go out from an air-conditioned building on a hot summer day, my glasses might fog up.

But - frankly, your story is very difficult to relate to, and some of it sounds unreasonable. Oily skin cannot make glasses fall off your nose, unless they don't fit to being with; they're (supposed to be) supported by the structure of your ear and nose, not by static friction; you should have changed your frame.

Now, yes, they can fall off if you lean all the way forward; or if you throw your head around during physical activity. Or you don't want them to be at risk when playing soccer or volleyball or what-not. Well, you get prescription goggles for that; They're not that expensive.

I was really depressed and annoyed with having to wear glasses for a couple of months after I started to. Then, gradually, I forgot about them. That is, I didn't forget to wear them, I forgot about the hassle of wearing them. Yes, occasionally I get annoyed by raindrops, or a thumbprint, or having to tighten one of the screws. But it's really not as bad as you describe.

Caveat: My visual acuity without glasses is better than yours.

It looks a bit like Facebook: a central column with your "feed" (which is populated with articles from a bunch of interests - "subwikis" - that you choose when you get in for the first time), a left column with other groups you might be interested in joining, and a right column with invite links for your friends, a list of your current groups, and recent changes. There's a bar at the top with notifications and search.
Altruistically, it trains users that it is ok, which it isn't.

Selfishly, the author really does not want to be storing or even handling these kinds of credentials. It makes them a very juicy target for all kinds of bad actors. Imagine finding yourself in the middle of some kind of account hijacking nightmare that you have unwittingly enabled, having to deal with people who trusted you and have lost access to their account or have lost money because people accessed data in their account that allows for id theft.

Basically people should treat passwords (even other people's passwords) as radioactive material and not attempt to handle them unless they really know what they're doing.
Good question. I have had all-hands in the past that were used to hear the intended direction of how goals were going to be measured, which was useful since there is always some whisper-down-the-lane noise for the actual message. But I have also been a part of all-hands that were just PR fluff about what a great job everyone is doing. So, I guess as most things, it depends.
It's a form of surgery, with potential negative side-effects. You can't "undo" the surgery if you experience those negative side-effects.
After a decade you might just be too used to whatever it is you did a decade ago...
I do remember his story, basically the most romantic badass in the history of maths
True that it gets messy. It seems like the word "mock" might be becoming a general term for what Fowler calls"test doubles". So be it.

But stubs and fakes are roughly on opposite sides of the spectrum. Stubs are as simple as can be (doing nothing more than providing logic-free preprogrammed responses), and fakes actually work. There very word "stub" connotes that it's not a full thing, certainly not a thing that works. A stub arm is a tiny piece of an arm. Most of the arm is missing.

If we're going to call a fake a mock, fine... but let's not call a fake a stub. We don't need more confusion.
In that case you could have left out the "My god, what are we spreading here?" which seems overly dramatic to me.

You could also have substantiated "This is pure conspiracy theory through "news" sources that have highly dubious credentials." by expanding on what makes those news sources so dubious they deserve scare quotes, since not everyone will be familiar with them.

Attributing the actions of one user to the whole community as in "HN shouldn't be fueling this kind of unsubstantiated speculation." isn't great either.
So this then would apply to all kinds of cosmetic surgeries then..Ban them all too?
The old switcheroo: by not being in support of office political activism like me that means you just support the [insert bad guys]. Rabble rabble.

This sort of logic and villianization just adds to my reasons for not wanting that in my workplace.
I know a few cases where the rural class analogy is correct,including China. Any guerilla force will use that approach if the military is siding with the current government [1] , so the patter is only partially accurate,we can analyze when it is accurate and apply that lesson in the present. So,it has nothing to do with communist ideology, does that mean we can apply that to neo-nazis and other terror groups (al-qaeda is in there). This sort of analysis allows us to ask why patterns exist,the patterns are a starting point,not the conclusion.

For sure. If they don’t have an adult in the room that says “hey this is a bad idea” then maybe the decision making is too decentralized. Yikes.

Or would a higher up have had to have signed up on this? Yikes!

Generally, de-centralized decision making power is good within parameters/guard rails.
> I wonder if companies like Google and GitHub that actively courted activists

You say that like it's a given truth - do you have anything to back up that assertion? FWIW, I don't recall Google courting "activists", though they obviously did court people who were highly invested in their education and careers, and of course there is probably a non-0 correlation with those types of people and "activists". I also wouldn't describe Google as "pro-politics". They certainly were pro-open-communication, but given their size now, and the complete change in the nature and temperature of political discussions over the past decade, it's not surprising at all that hey would be forced to change this.
There is an old joke about extroverted accountants looking at your shoes rather than their own.

Its that time of year again were everyone gets ready for holiday sales blitz. Marketing teams the world over keep talking about how they are going to drive revenue.

After you factor in overtime, technology support, shipping delays and the knock on effects of stress (look at deployments, LOC produced, and so on in Jan and Feb) you quickly see that the hit on the bottom line is bigger than anyone ever thought of (and more so this season).

You don't have to be an extrovert to build a chart and a graph of this (and the other phenomena) that points out reality, and its impact. It tends to temper people singing their own praises (what extroverts are really good at) without having the data to back it up.

The message from this, go find the other introverts, find out what they do, and how it matters to you. Corporations are a lot like spider webs, tug on one thread and the whole thing vibrates, it is just a question of how much and where. Your fellow introverts are the keys to figuring out where, and if they are meaningful.
Here we go - the insanely maximalist interpretation of copyright law by the Federal Circuit, with its concomitant ludicrously restrictive idea of fair use, now goes to the Supremes. The DoJ had actually argued against the idea of the High Court's taking up of this appeal (on grounds that this case was not the proper one for the Court to use to clarify these issues). I couldn't disagree more. The Federal Circuit Court has been positively adamant in its rigid views, right down to second-guessing how the jury rendered the key facts, and the case therefore is a very compelling one for a better assessment to be made by justices who are not so fixated in their views as the Federal Circuit has been. This area of the law is critical to the whole idea of inter-operability going forward and it is welcome to see that the Court will be deciding it sometime this term.

My prior comment at the time of the Federal Circuit decision: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20064289
I turned down an offer from Google (cloud) because I didn't want to work for a company that was so focused on politics internally. This was just after they fired Damore, not that I agree or disagree with his opinion, but because Google seems promote internal fighting. That type of culture doesn't appeal to me.
What are the use cases for 2 NICs?
Nobody actively courted activists.

It's more just than tech startups generally skew younger and newer generations want their companies to reflect their own values. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

And these companies are not in complete chaos. In fact apart from the James Damore incident there hasn't been any significant change in the company cultures.
Great idea we'll just add

// Unit Testing begin not covered

To the start and end of every file (or however it's done in your suite). Then we can leave early, go to the bar, and have a nice pint ;)
once youve evicted a renter for reason, if you happen to have had that happen to a couple renters one can combine the space into one apartment... and rent it as a new apartment type.. new york brownstone style homes / old san francisco ones seem to allow for this to be easier to do.
When I used PG for my job queue, I was already using Kafka instead, to handle immediate job entries. The reason I needed PG was for jobs scheduled at a future time.

I had no difficulty with long-running jobs because servicing jobs out of PG was simply a matter of pushing them onto the Kafka queue for immediate uptake there.
My sense is that such a moderation log would lead to an order-of-magnitude explosion of litigious meta discussion, which is last thing we we need or want.

If that's right, then it's worse than that, because then metaness would consume a lot more resources than it already does, starving the rest of the site of other things we need to work on. That would be a vicious feedback loop; I'd rather look for virtuous ones.
If American companies would like to provide 2-3 months vacation so the public can take time for political action, sure

This is just descending deeper into “more and more of your life must be dedicated to paid speech.”

Google is basically turning into that big IBM they weren’t going to be.

It’s entirely social pressure to conform to business norm.

There’s no reason things like cloud software and AI must be built by Google. Look at the Linux kernel.

This is kowtowing to financial economics first, cause paid speech is everything to an ad company.

Humanity is still emotionally transitioning away from traditional values belief in top down godhead must rule! hierarchy. We’ve seen literally for a whole now the idea of a God described by Abrahamic religion is not compatible with our physical measure of reality. But human social sensibilities take time to update as the generations of old linger

The finance economy is the last big hurdle.
Alcubierre Drive
Unmanaged Executive Underling Dialog Events present excessive temptation for signalling politically-correct bandwagon membership as the only unifying force between leadership and implementors, which is problematic in the wider context of a company and a world that is neither utopian, nor socialist, nor capable of becoming a becoming a socialist utopia so long as resource contention exists.

This thinking must be limited to public relations. Its purpose is to convince the world that We Are The Good Guys and not just another bunch of people looking to put food on the table and Teslas in our garages. If WE start ACTUALLY BELIEVING these democrat things, we'll go the way of the USSR, so these talkies are OVER.
I think what they mean by status quo is the political and power dynamics. Not how much "politics" is discussed.
Being highly motivated by something is a prerequisite to great self-learning. Video games (especially?) can be a great launching point to learn about math, programming, writing, design...

Being motivated by nothing means students will not learn or retain knowledge.

So yeah, I think letting a bunch of 13 year olds play video games all day would actually provide better results than keeping them locked up an a pseudo-prison like environment teaching them things that they're not interested in learning and for the most part wouldn't need to know anyway.
Interesting. What kind of habits?
Previously someone mentioned the idea of a $1/mo. social network.

I think if someone were to make facebook in it's first ~2 years and keep it very basic it we would be good to go. The only features you need are: a profile picture, a wall, chat, and events.

In other words - a photo of yourself, a way of publicly messaging, a way of privately messaging, and a way to coordinate social events.

What else do you need for a 'social network?'

I would pay $1/mo for that. The simpler the better.
Split test it ;)

two options... split your traffic out OR create a different brand to test the theories
It gets worse. In a few years they won't even have access to teachers nor a properly functioning classroom. There is an entire demographic of teachers approaching retirement and we don't have enough qualified teachers entering, and staying, in the field to replace them.
But then, maybe you're just a tool for Big Laser... :-P
I’ve been very impressed with what you guys are doing. We’re extremely excited about moving from our collection of YAML, bash, and Helm templates to Pulumi. The big question mark we had was what local development would look like. Tilt and Skaffold were the two big candidates we looked at for sane local development with Kubernetes. Looks like Pulumi’s new `watch` could give us what we need?

Are there any plans to have something like rsync support to enable things like hot-reloading apps? Both Tilt and Skaffold have examples showing this capability.
Not only is it a measurement of how many lives will be improved, it was a stopgap on non-regulated procedures.

So the choice was either rubberstamp it so there was oversight or don't and potentially have even worse cases.
Imagine if wikipedia courted specific types of activists. People should take sides but companies should be neutral,and get out of the way of people engaging in political discourse or activism.
I'm disappointed that these are not valid Perl programs (the first is a syntax error, and the second complains about an array where an operator is expected).
The FDA should approve the procedure because adults have a right to decide for themselves what risks they are willing to tolerate.
Unfortunately that's what happens when the discussions get leaked.

It's hard to be candid and open if what you say might end up distorted in the media and without you having an ability to defend yourself.

Given the I/O i think its clear the intended market is as an off the shelf digital signage box, but the dual NICs are a feature I hope makes it into any future consumer oriented Zen based NUC.

That being said I see no reason to ignore these if planning a homelab/micro compute cluster (chick-fil-a uses NUCs at the edge) besides perhaps the lower-ish spec CPUs.

If you're into reading C code, you could probably check how git's `git log --graph` is implemented: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/graph.c
I'm sorry you're getting downvoted. What you're saying is absolutely true -- keeping politics out of anything is endorsement of the status quo. And even more specifically, as it relates to the workplace, anything you build with your labor is endorsement of that thing. That endorsement may be (and often is) coerced, whether by circumstance of lack of resources, H-1B visa, et cetera. But pretending that the things we build are apolitical is self-deception.

If you build tools for ICE to put children in cages, you're building tools to put children in cages.
I really need this article! I tried to start a startup with friends multiple times already, but the end result always was they cancelled. I think I overwhelmed them listing all the things needed to do in order to succeed.
There are nearly infinite vectors to exfiltrate files from your computer, the vast majority of which are currently unknown to you, and would be entirely undetected. And what's more, most of those vectors can be done from anywhere on the planet.

There is only one way to exfiltrate information from a notebook, it requires physical proximity, and it's very likely that you would notice.

Every rational threat model for almost every human on the planet (excepting perhaps major political, cultural, or economic figures) would conclude in the paper journal being the better (safer) choice.
I'm dealing with this now with my app Polar. We're a cognitive platform for managing knowledge, education, and reading.

You MUST have localized pricing for these types of apps. We're going to cut our pricing for India, and basically all developing nations.

Students too... if you have a university email we'll give you a discount on top of your normal region-specific discounts.

It's a fools errand otherwise. These users will just NOT convert.
Quad Marrakech
There are problems with worktree. But yes, I often do use multiple checkout directories. When you do the git clone using the --reference option it gets most of the objects from the referenced directories.

But this still results in slow compile times because the less used release directories get stale, have to be pulled up to date and often mostly rebuilt anyway. If I remember to actually use the second checkout directory, it does save on needing to rebuild the master/feature branches afterward.
I think it’s OK to bring politics into the workplace. I discuss Brexit, elections, Boris Johnson, Jeremy Corbyn, Donald Trump, etc, with those of my colleagues that want to discuss it when they want to discuss it. I agree with some of them, disagree with others.

They were incredible back when they were private. Unprecedented level of transparency for a company of that size.
I'm not sure in your wife's particular case, but halos are a negative side effect of LASIK in some cases. It is not something that is always there the patient can now see. It has to do with the size of a patient's pupil versus the size of the area that can get corrected. Patients with very large pupils are told not to get the surgery period due to adverse halo effects.
Package it as a docker image and you can then run it on cloud.run (Might be expensive though).

François Chollet’s core point: We can't measure an AI system's adaptability and flexibility by measuring a specific skill.

With unlimited data, models memorize decisions. To advance AGI we need to quantify and measure skill-acquisition efficiency.

Announcement tweet: https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1192121587467784192

I agree with most of this, but would go further. My experience (here and at Heptio) is that no one _chooses_ Kubernetes. They choose Docker, and then they (i.e., the infra team) effectively have to choose ECS or Kubernetes. In contrast, what most app developers want is a better `docker run`.

I don't know how controversial that is, so I should say this is my conclusion from ~50 intensive customer qualification conversations in my 1.5 years at Pulumi and 1 year at Heptio. In each of these conversations I ask why the customer is moving to Kubernetes. In mid- or large-sized companies (i.e., 500+ employees) the answer is completely unwavering: Docker makes it easy to ship software without worrying too much about the host, and once you have that, having a way to schedule containers to run _somewhere_ is very useful. And that's effectively how the decision is made IME.

> Seeing it as an ad for Eiffel's company is kind of a stretch.

Eiffel paid a huge chunk of the cost of it, and had his name put on it. It's no different from businesses funding a sports stadium in exchange for it being named after the business.

It's awesome advertising.

I've often wondered why Microsoft didn't fund NASA probe missions in exchange for writing "Microsoft" on the side of the rocket or other such considerations. It'd be a win for all concerned.
It is immature to attribute financial cost to everything. What you say is social trust and cohesion is what accountants call goodwill, the value above the net worth of a corporation or something operating that is uncountable.

Prioritizing social trust and cohesion through omitting or ignoring by misdeeds of institutions or individuals that are too big to fail seems like extra effort to achieve nothing. It isn't real trust and cohesion, it is deception and coercion.
