That is an important question. At the moment we can't draw any conclusions. I only own two devices, so it is difficult for me to conduct comprehensive research. I am also a little concerned that a script to autosend randomly combined words to a set of devices would result in my account being band by my provider.

I am guessing that someone on HN is setup to conduct this sort of research?

Consider mergers, aside from the very small number of people working in coastal tech jobs, its not like an insurance guy working in Des Moines at an insurance company HQ can consider moving to, perhaps, Milwaukee Wisconsin, because due to endless mergers there is less competition meaning fewer jobs meaning fewer jobs to move to.

On the opposite side, if you've got a contractor / gig job, other than the weather during the commute, it doesn't really matter if you move to a new city. You might have to move inside a city for demographic socioeconomic change reasons. Outside very few fields temporarily, the job market is efficient and being a car salesman in kentucky isn't any better than being a car salesman in rhode island, other than very general stuff like weather and quality of life and affordability is somewhat better away from the coasts and similar things probably not worth moving for.
That’s how you end up with critical apps which are full of known security issues because now upgrading requires reverse-engineering and migrating a bunch of one-off customizations. This approach only works if you’re committed to paying regularly to maintain your fork.

When Atlassian finally pulled Hipchat last year I was tasked with finding the replacement. Turns out the one that met everybody's needs best was a local IRCd and whatever desktop client for it people liked.

I have been working on a PDF editor for several years. It is available inside my photo editor https://www.Photopea.com (press File - Open - choose a PDF file). People open 7 000 PDF files in it every day.

Often, a PDF contains just a single raster bitmap with the whole content rasterized. Also, text is often converted to vector shapes, which also makes it non-editable (as text). But it can open / save PDFs from Google Docs and other editors quite well.
Not just a developing country problem. Look at the money that cannot be account for during the Bush wars of the early 2000s, with Halliburton being given costs+profit contracts and being able to say without oversight what there costs where.

'Smart motorway' is an umbrella term for various traffic control schemes used on motorways since the 90s. The version deemed unsuitable is dynamic hard shoulder running (called 'managed motorway' at inception), first used on the M42 from 2006 on.

All new projects in England since 2013 have used All Lane Running (an alternative to widening, where the HS is permanently converted into a traffic lane). This format is not being killed off.

The A14 Huntingdon Bypass was supposed to open as a smart motorway (A14(M)) but the legislation hasn't passed soon enough, so it will open as an all-purpose road with motorway-style restrictions and smart tech.

That’s a very cool construction of regular expressions, just using matrices and semirings. I loved the explanation of why F and G were as they were as well. I had two comments:

> Assume we have a regular language (R, 1, ., 0, +, * )

Shouldn’t this data (a semiring with * -operation or “closure”) not be one regular language, but _all_ regular languages? A single regular language should be an element of R.

I also think that the power series A* = 1 + A + A^2 + ... looks more like 1/(1-A) rather than e^A, which makes sense given the defining equation A* = 1 + A(A*), but that’s not much of an issue since neither of these properly make sense in this semiring.
What I meant by "not a general past marker" is that you can't in general use positive 有 where you can use negative 没（有） to talk about the past. For example, you wouldn't say 我有看这本书。 to express you've read that book, but instead 我看了这本书。 Even in constructions like 有……过 the 有 is optional, so I'd say the past aspect is carried by 过.

On the other hand, maybe that is a shortening of an originally obligatory two-part expression similar to Jespersen's cycle, famously observed in the appearance of "pas" and ongoing disappearance of "ne" in French "ne ... pas". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jespersen%27s_Cycle
I was told last year I can be way too optimistic / silver-lining-finding in negative situations. I used to always look for the solution to a problem as opposed to providing whatever the sharer of that problem wanted (usually validation/assurance).

It has been somewhat difficult to turn off that "always helping" part of me - and to be frank it will probably never go away completely which I don't think is a bad thing - but substantial progress has been made.

I've never worked at a company that uses Slack. I don't particularly understand what people use it for or how what as far as I can tell is a glorified IRC channel is allegedly so important to some teams. Get a whiteboard.

> I don't think I've once in my entire 40 yr career seen a designer test with users, find out something was bad, and change their design based on the test

Too, too true. I have seen designers proceed to "educate" their test users (sometimes for weeks at a time) as to why the users' preferences are wrong and the designer's are right.
Wasn't the target audience of Slack, at least initially, tech-savvy IT teams? If they take away plain text and markdown -- or make them harder to use -- they are alienating their early adopters.

Not sure what their user base looks like now, though.
To be honest, yes, generally programs that don't start instantaneously do something very unnecessary and stupid that has nothing to do with actual CPU performance. As in they read thousands of tiny files or they decompress files or they wait for some sort of answer from the network, or they make 10k+ expensive API calls or all of the above. Firefox is so big it might fall into the "all of the above" category, but to answer that question definitively you'd have to analyze what Firefox actually does.

And of course, making the decompression 15-20% faster by optimizing the decompression code (which is usually not even written by the developers of said software but just some external library) won't even make a difference because 20% less than 5 seconds is still 4 seconds which is way too long for a program to start. Instead using a different compression algorithm that increases file size by 25% but decompression speed by 10x would actually start solving the problem, with the next step being to ask why the program needs to read so much damn data at the start in the first place.

But since NVMe SSDs and Intel CPUs with very high boost clocks are quickly becoming the norm now even for laptops I don't see much of that happening, because Firefox starts pretty quickly (~1 second) on those machines.
I participated in the JPMC program and the Deloitte program. Both were pretty great for getting my feet wet in software engineering and technology consulting in a real way. I'd recommend them as a free experience. They're pretty representative of what I imagine working for each company is like and were useful to gain some experience in each field.

Pretty much the same story here. My granda was a Polish teenager who got thrown into Stallinist right prison after surviving 5 years of German WWII occupation. I think the abuse there pretty much wrecked his psyche for life, with signs of mental illness and a pretty miserable character in general afterwards.
It's fun to speculate why somebody would behave this way.

A few things I could imagine:

* he fears being treated worse if his identity is found out (like an extradition to the US where he could face capital punishment, or detainment by another power that would treat him worse)

* he has a fundamental distrust of authorities that makes him somehow behave that way

* he has serious mental health issues (the article doesn't mention any psychological assessment)

Given his history of fraud, I'd tend toward the first idea, but who knows?

Any other ideas?
I think the assumption that it's OK to only want to talk about your own interests is incorrect. Besides for the value of developing a wider range of interests yourself, it's really worth learning how to talk to others about things they're passionate about but you're not. If it excites them, there must be something in it worth appreciating.

Say for example you're talking to a woman who's really interested in fashion, beauty and makeup. (Sorry to double down on the gender stereotyping, I just wanted an extreme example.) Without knowing anything about it, here are some things off the top of my head you could ask her:

- How did you get interested in it?

- How big is the global industry? Would you be interested in working in it, maybe starting your own brand?

- How do you keep up with things? Instagram? Blogs?

- If I wanted to learn the basics how long would it take me?

- Is personal style inherent or learned?

And the same applies with woodworking or snowboarding or rugby or knitting or anime or cooking or kabuki or classical guitar or pets or anything you can think of. Siloing yourself among people with common interests is so wasteful when you could open up to the great variety of the world.
Instead of learning JavaScript frameworks, isn't it better to advise people to learn and master JavaScript itself? I feel learning HTTP, HTTPS, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript inside-out will benefit someone than to try to learn a framework that will disappear very soon. When you know undelying technologies, it is easier to learn new frameworks because they will always be based on underlying technologies.
America's Elites Lost Their Grip in 2019
Its all in what you want to do. The barbell prescription book goes into great detail on medical research on the effects on blood chemistry and general health of the ratio of muscle to fat and so on. For that, it doesn't matter if all the muscle in my body is in my left calf or stabilizers or whatever. On the other hand SS and similar IS vital if you're going to work a blue collar job and lift and install plumbing all day long at a construction site. Another topic is the machines make it virtually impossible to hurt yourself no matter how dumb you are WRT liability insurance reasons, so they're quite safe, whereas everyone doing free weights eventually ends up in the ER self inflicted.

Overall the machines are BOTH a good gateway and a good terminal activity. Wanna move up to free weights, can do! Wanna just have better blood sugar and osteoporosis outcomes for the rest of your live and never move up to free weights, can do!

Free weights do nothing for stabilizers anyway. Run the trig and static engineering numbers. Sine of 10 degrees is about 0.2 so for people starting out, benching 50 pounds with ridiculously bad form only loads the stabilizers (triceps, maybe?) with 10 pounds at 10 degrees off ideal, and even noobs start triceps extensions way more than 10 pounds. And "experts" have perfect form so there's "zero" load. Due to trigonometry you can't work your delts merely by using ridiculously poor form when bicep curling. The whole stabilizer issue is a bro-science thing that requires not running the math or engineering statics vector diagrams.
Disagree. Electron apps are built w/ web tech regardless of how they're distributed or connected at runtime.
> He has used his blog to argue, contra Pope Francis, why the death penalty is actually a good thing. Like all things, worth a read but also worth a huge grain of salt.

IMHO the word "good" may be a bit too strong, but at least justified or justifiable in theory, even if not implemented. He's co-written a book defending the position:

* https://www.amazon.com/Man-Shall-His-Blood-Shed/dp/162164126...

I haven't read the book, but one reasonable argument for it would be societal self-defense. We currently can lock dangerous people away safety so that they no longer can do any harm, but this is/was not always the case. If the prison infrastructure is not there to ensure dangerous people do no harm, it may 'necessary' to execute them to reduce the risk to the rest of society.

While this is mostly true, it should not be relied on. If the PDF is produced from a text document or report generator, then the text as well as the charts are easy to edit with any text editor (only requires decompressing the PDF first). Obviously different if the document is a scanned image, but just saving a Word doc into PDF does not make it a read-only file.
The benefit of PDF is that it is (as the name suggests) portable, and one knows that the recipient will see exactly what was sent. With a Word or Powerpoint, formatting can show up different on different machines, fonts may not be available, etc.

> some “testers would go days without a livable build, so they wouldn’t really have a handle on what’s working and not working,” the person said.

Maybe they did both things, and the weld still failed. The rocket's being engineered, which means they make it as weak as possible without it blowing up. Those welds might be perfect in the x-rays, they might've done all sorts of destructive analysis, and still the thing might fail in staging.

Of course, they might also be on a deadline, and just went ahead and built it to spec and test it. But I don't think you can just say there's routine testing procedures that ensure rockets never blow up. If that were the case we wouldn't have needed SpaceX to reinvigorate the space industry.
The courts have designated the man “the Unknown Person” and he has been behind bars for more than six years because officials don’t know who he is. This puts him in a bizarre state of limbo: Until Canadian officials know his identity and nationality, they cannot deport him; until they can deport him, they don’t want to release him.

The headline is clickbait and I have flagged it. He was arrested for a crime and refuses to identify himself, isn’t a Canadian citizen, and the police haven’t had luck figuring out his identity. They can’t deport him and they can’t just release him if he arrived illegally. This is all in the article.

I don’t know what else one could expect the police to do. It’s certainly an odd Kafkesque situation, but he doesn’t seem to want to get out of it.

I usually try to build flows now that don’t ask for coupon codes at checkout (because that leads to deal searching right at the last moment). I prefer dedicated URLs with embedded offers as much as possible.

If you need to go the coupon code route, I recommend how Namecheap does it: they registered a unique domain (namecheapcoupons.com) that publicly list all coupon codes. They rank #1 in organic search results.

But, as a general rule, I encourage you to avoid working with deal sites and coupon affiliates. This is a general rule, but they tend to drive very little incremental revenue. You should also disallow any PPC campaigns using your branded terms.
