I'm British born and can count on two hands how many times I've been how long ago I moved here (Australia) from Germany.

Unlikely - that would be such a waste of VR.
Autopilot – service mesh operators for an adaptive mesh environment
To the point. It is very naive to ignore the fact that the work was just outsourced to an IT guy. And the world in which Haskell, Java, JavaScript or .NET can deliver the same "simplicity" of PHP is just called Function as a Service/Serverless (just that this needs some more years before simplicity is actually reached).

Ok, a bit stretchy ;)
Would anyone who doesn’t live in Chicago know there was another Trump Tower there? I for one thought all but the NY one had their names changed because the licensees no longer wanted to be associated with such a toxic brand.
My take on the whole "complex versus non complex" debate raging below.

If there were nothing to the exorbitant complexity, there would be no complaints about modern stacks. It would be sort of, invisible? Like an OS is mostly invisible these days - that problem space is mature to the point that its, for most people, an afterthought.

So modern web dev does suck, yes. I am 100% of this opinion.

But the simple solution was re-invented into the 'mess' we have today. It doesn't scale (well), and although yes it wasn't complex it was a hell of a lot more complex to add features to, at least ones which weren't simple "hey change the look and feel of some widget" or "hey do some flashy UI thing".

I think that's probably a generally true statement, when a lot of work is needed to develop something (physical or otherwise), it will suck, because it still needs to be worked on? So anything being used by the industry and "modern" will have pain points, period.

Once its actually good, it tends to be simplified to the point that it becomes invisible. OFC, you can still use WAMP or whatever, or weebly, but nobody cares about WAMP or weebly anymore, outside of whatever small pet project or blog you run.
Did you perchance happen to be a kid in the late 90's?
Wait, what, no!

CANDU is a thermal water moderated reactor, albeit moderated with heavy water rather than light water, allowing it to use natural uranium instead of enriched (as Canada didn't have enrichment capability and didn't want to depend on other nations). And it's a pressure tube design, meaning the high pressure water is kept in a bunch of tubes rather than having one big pressure vessel like most light water reactors (again, because Canada didn't have heavy forges required to produce traditional reactor vessels).

What Bill Gates funded is a company called Terrapower that is making a sodium cooled fast breeder. Very different from CANDU. Fast breeders are a pretty cool concept, but they and the reprocessing technology for closing the fuel cycle isn't as mature as light water reactors.

According to their Twitter account, 'BBC Worklife' has been around since 2013. I read the BBC a lot, but have never come across it before - this is another example of how un-discoverable most of the BBCs online content is :(
This seems like a poor prompt to generalize from. The premise isn't about some random speaker from the other side. It's about a controversial celebrity known for mocking, inflammatory statements, who practically calls their opponents subhuman. Sounds like an asshole. Maybe highly empathetic people don't like assholes. This headline certainly doesn't seem to be a warranted takeaway.
Maybe it's because it's dangled as a red herring all the time when in fact it is barely relevant whether Google & co sell your data.

The fact that they collect it in the first place is the real problem. And when they inevitably get hacked and lose the data (happened), or leak the data (happened), or their employees inappropriately access the data (happened), or they hand it over to whatever government after putting up a token fight (happened)... it doesn't matter one bit.
Unfortunately our government is very anti-technology and would like for all Australians to grow up to be coal miners instead of building a tech based economy.
I came to the comments to post a similar thing. Was utterly confused how "graph db" and "chaos engineering" go together. Can't you add a distinguishing prefix, like Chaos Gremlin or something like that? I'll start using "Apache Gremlin" for the traversal lang, but that only works if your Gremlin gets a prefix, too.
So far, I think this is a matter of time.

It's concerning given how computing power and resources advance over time.
Fintech only provides better UX on the same old system of banking.
The real issue with banks is the staggering amount of regulation which acts both as an innovation killer and as a high barrier to entry, which in turn stifles innovation even more.

It's the golden cage dilemma banks find themselves into.

Fintech looks cool until it stops working, then you discover it's the same system, only run by a startup.

Been here 11 years, I was last in Canberra 2 years ago.

My problem is, all the attractions you've mentioned are indeed wonderful. And the War Museum is a national tressure. But I could knock them all over in a long weekend (I did!).

Which was the reason I decided not to apply for a job in Canberra and stay in Brisbane. :P
I think that taking unironic pleasure at the misfortune of others, or wishing others harm, and the capacity to do so, is the literal opposite of empathy.

It was not the UK that ran/runs the world's finance, it's the tax haven of the City of London, with its overseas branches in UK territories that still runs the world's finances.

I'm in an apartment with FTTP. I'm actually sitting right next to the ONT right now, it has 4x 1Gbit ethernet ports and the GPON is physically capable of delivering 2.4Gbit down, 1.2Gbit up.

However ordering anything above 100Mbit is so prohibitively expensive as to make it unavailable.

The other big VR news today is the beta release of Oculus Link, which turns the $500 standalone Oculus Quest into a tethered low-latency PC VR headset. This is an important innovation that deserves more attention.

Also you may have missed the recent report of Apple VR headset intended to be released in 2022. Reportedly it will have full color cameras (unlike the Oculus Quest) with photogrammetry of user play spaces for AR-type applications. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21504535
From my casual obervation this is exactly what is done in my town: The rush hour trains usually are longer.
I'm torn between wanting it to be VR exclusive so that it takes full advantage of the interesting differences between VR and reg. gaming, and wanting it to be non-'VR exclusive' so that I might actually get a chance to play it without having to fork out for VR gear that I otherwise have little interest in.
Have you seen what VR card game is like?
e.g. Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl https://youtu.be/Gd06C6le-2c

I don't think VR card game is a waste of VR. It's just very different from traditional card games.
Great study. As usual, Robert Wright’s evopsych tendencies have him barking up the wrong tree. White college educated liberals are highly empathetic towards racial minorities, people they don’t have any kind of “tribal” or “in group” connection. Meanwhile, they are highly unempathetic towards certain other whites.

Empathy isn’t a primitive spontaneous moral emotion that everyone assumes it is. In real life, our empathetic reactions are determined by abstract moral beliefs about whose suffering is valid or not.
> OSX has a package manager (brew)

To be clear, it's not supported by Apple. I've also been favoring MacPorts, lately because of brew's broken file ownership model.
At least you can afford peace and quiet at home though, instead of having to live with flat mates and commute via public transport.
Popping your Twitter account's cherry is pretty rare, especially for a well known entity like Valve. It would be interesting to see a list of other well-known Twitter accounts that have a single Tweet. I recall Peter Thiel doing the same with his account[1]. For those accounts, people are basically subscribed to a single advertisement.

We built a ton of them here in Sweden, but the name escapes me. They were marketed with being able to last for 'at least 20 years' when being built, which should have been a warning sign not to spend $1m on for it on a <$100k family income.
I just switched to gigabit. Not even my 200€ router (ubiquity ER-4) would be able to handle 10.

This is going to be a great spark in VR's timeline.

There's a lot of things happening at once in the VR sphere, its a very exciting time.
Interesting. It’s not like water used for thermoelectric cooling becomes compromised. In many cases don’t they just return it directly to the supply after it cools down?

It may seem contradictory, but for me it actually helps. I use a macOS app (Noizio) to get a mixture of different sounds (rain/thunder/fire) and, in combination with noise cancelling headphones, it is the only thing I've found that allows me to thoroughly concentrate in a noisy space.

"If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear" isn't a reasonable position to hold, and your statement basically amounts to it. There's plenty of reasons to want to stay anonymous when talking about business such as this.

To clarify, I don't necessarily agree with his position, but I disagree with your proposition that he is using a pseudonym for that reason.

I've solved plenty of problems when I swim. There's so many different "rooms" and frames of mind I can be in during that activity I think that's the main reason why it doesn't happen as often during weight training. While swimming I can come up with the solution in the shower, in the sauna, while doing my sets in the pool and while resting between sets. I switch between being completely immersed in water, almost deprived of sensory inputs, and being above water constantly.
Yes. Also, unless you define seniority on a per-company level, derived from actual time spent in the company, then you'll have plenty of senior developers landing in the middle of a legacy codebase that's new to them.

(And then, there are projects you look at very briefly. Just a few days ago, I used Sourcetrail to explore a certain research CLI application. I mostly needed to know how it does a few particular things, and Sourcetrail was useful for finding my way around the exceedingly complex class graph quickly.)

There's no good tool out there for reading source code. Sourcetrail is a step forward that's useful for anyone.
You can have screws at the same spots as rivets, the stiffness argument seems to be weak IMHO.
I think there is a limit on how many layers Docker can handle in an image and if I recall correctly the number is like 63 layers. I don’t have any idea why it is like this but it could be chosen for performance reasons.
What I'm saying is that what you describe is the straw man caricature of the right that lefties like to dismantle, not how an actual right-of-center person would describe their political motivations.

Take gay marriage. The left likes to lampoon the right for claiming that "homosexuality is against our values" or some such homophobic nonsense. But that's not why republicans are against gay marriage--because you might be surprised to learn that republicans are NOT against gay marriage! They're against the government defining what marriage is: marriage is a religious and/or cultural tradition and it's none of the government's damn business to define or restrict it in any way.

Being right-of-center is more about preferring distributed, consensual, market-based solutions over government mandates and regulation, and staying out of people's lives. The obsession with "our values!" and fear response is a weird leftist caricature of the right, not reality.
Warren Buffet is likely to buy a much more expensive car, or cars.

He's spending more on everything than you are.

That doesn't even things up, of course, but then neither does the current system. It would arguably be closer to even.

The beauty of a universal sales tax (as an alternative to income tax), in addition to the fact that the wealthy consume more of everything, is that a transaction tax is more difficult to lobby loopholes into.

And, of course, it potentially doesn't need as large (read expensive) a bureaucracy to manage and enforce it.

It also removes the burden of record keeping/reporting from consumers and payroll tax from employers.

A lot of people have spent time thinking about the idea. One example:
https://fairtax.org/

It's not a problem free solution of course, but neither is the current one. Someday a proposal for a transaction tax might even make it out of committee.
Stated in the readme file, "I was a girl raised by the internet."
There is also the 'orange spot' problem, a manufacturing defect which Apple have successfully suppressed but which appears to be a mounting class action against them akin to the "peelgate" situation .. no mention if the new 2019 models have this same issue ..

Apparently what happens is the liquid crystal particles separate from the grid and float around the screen, creating orange splotches that are very, very annoying. If you tilt the screen, over an hour the splotches will move around .. I've gotten to the point where I don't take my MBP 2018 off the desk just so that I don't have to watch the progress of the splotches over the day ..

Very annoying. I hope they've fixed it, and I hope Apple are forced to replace these screens.
>HK raises practically all of its revenue from land

I don't know what you mean. Hong Kong is a trading port, and any wealth it "creates" is done by refining imported materials. This option is only available someplace lots of trade naturally occurs, like Hong Kong's river basin.
A straw man implies I am trying to convince you of something. I am just sharing my perspective. “Market based solutions” is no more a value than fear is. You can’t evaluate its efficacy without having a value with which to measure. There’s really no point in discussing politics at all without values.

Personally I think it’s fucked up that government recognizes marriage at all. The benefits have very little to do with the pluralistic definitions of marriage that exist around the world today—tax benefits & visitation rights are not closely related to tying family assets together OR romance. It’s abhorrent that these rights were ever denied to couples regardless of whether they married or not. Religious couples deserve these rights regardless of marriage too. It makes no sense to recognize marriage at the state level. As a gay man I have never nor will ever have any ambitions of marriage, but these rights are still denied to me.

I hope you can see through this that the policy and dialogue championed through partisanship is divorced from values that I hold dear, though I emphatically do not begrudge the gay couples that did find a victory through the policy.

"Oh you want to to serve ads to individuals that shop at Uniqlo? Here's a list of profiles to target that have checked into a Uniqlo three times in the past 6 weeks"

No, this is not true. It's more like "Oh you want to to serve ads to individuals that shop at Uniqlo? Give us your ad creative and we will show you to the profiles that have checked into a Uniqlo three times in the past 6 weeks"

Additionally, at FB ads, often it's custom audience, and in that case it's "Oh you want to to serve ads to individuals that shop at Uniqlo? Give us your ad creative and list of email addresses of people you want to target and we show them your ads." (though you can actually do "similar audience" and so on.

Well, I enjoy about 80% of the work I do and would be quite content just doing that (even the 20% I don't like, since that's still necessary). And I believe in a multitude of freedoms.

However, the people who built my house, produce my food and electricity don't feel that way, so I'm happy my employer doesn't license under MIT.
A way around that is to convert any spaces in a filename to non-breaking spaces (if you can). That will not only fix problems in Make, but also ease use in the command line.

You can count me in. I was expecting Apple to fix the problems with the butterfly keyboard (I didn't have any but seems like a bunch of them stopped working). Instead, they went backwards. Maybe it's the right move and the butterfly is really broken.

But it was a nice typing experience for a while. At least, until I get the new Mac!
It's very much a big proxy war between big economies. Currently the countries benefit from tax havens where growth is the highest (because these investment/offshore vehicles/vessels are low tax and the yields are reinvested, and the tax is reaped by the country where it gets invested; even if the profit was originally from a different country - but it's transferred to the tax haven via various schemes, like the intellectual property royalty payments and so on.)

This is either going to be groundbreaking or a massive disappointment. There is no in-between.

VR unlocked a whole new world of possibilities which are yet to be explored. If they manage to innovate the way they did with Half Life 2, then oh boy we are in for a treat. On the flip side, if it turns out to be just a run-of-the-mill game but in VR it would be a damn waste. Even if it is a good game.

They have to show us something new and never seen before, just like they did with HL2, to show us why VR is the next step in gaming. If anyone can do it, it's Valve. And it's in their best interest to do so, seeing how much they invested in it.

Let's hope that Old Valve didn't lose their souls with all that Steam money. But I'll trust them on this one.
I'm 100% certain that it has lead people to take their children out of car seats as soon as they legally could, instead of letting them sit in it until they grew out of it.

What that chapter should say, is that if you're ever in an accident fatal for your child, it doesn't matter if it used a seat or not. It completely neglect to say that for non fatal accidents, the vast majority, the car seats do make a difference.
